Hopping on a boat for a minute...

Let me tell you something a lot of people don't know about me...

I get serious motion sickness! Even on surfaces that try to simulate how it would feel to be on a boat.. yep those make me dizzy and nauseous too. As far back as I can remember car rides do this to me. I cant read anything while on a car without feeling a little sick. That even includes car signs! Can you see why I don't drive? Elevators? Don't get me started! 

Well I happen to have a water loving family including my son. So I said we would get on a boat this summer. And we did. Just that I cheated a bit and we only got on for like a couple of minutes. And the boat we got on wasn't even moving and happened to be a museum... so maybe next time I can do better? (Here's hoping)

Any way... here is my little (Big) boat adventure At Corpus Christi, Tx USS Lexington Museum on the Bay. 
We didn't stay too long (obviously) since a boat museum didn't seem to entice my kiddo but hopefully next time we are in corpus we can go and munchkin will be more interested and me less motion sicknessy. I am working on it! Trust me because I love the water too! 

Have you ever been to the USS Lexington Museum on the bay? Did your kiddos have fun?

Have you checked out The San Antonio Symphony?



I don't know about you but my son is musical! He hears a beat and he wants to dance. He watches people playing instruments and off he goes to try to find things to mimic the music. I love it! I want to grow his love for music and help it thrive so when I heard about the San Antonio Symphony's Family Series I was intrigued. 

Have you been to a concert lately? 

I haven't and a lot of it had to do with the fact that I didn't think my kiddo would sit through it. But now I feel that hes ready for this! This is a family oriented show and even has a fun before activity you can do for free called The Instrument Petting Zoo! 

The Instrument Petting Zoo is free and starts an hour before the family concert series. Its a special opportunity for children of all ages to try out and play a variety of instruments. How fun is that? Maybe your kiddo will find there calling?


Don't have any weekend plans? There is a show this weekend called Columbus and his Musical Voyages  May 19th at 2:30 pm. There will be an Instrument petting zoo so make sure you head out there for the fun!


Cant make it this weekend? Keep up to date with whats going on on Facebook or Twitter!  Hope to see you out there sharing our love for Music!

Our weekend fun seeing The Imagination Movers at SeaWorld San Antonio!

Last weekend we woke up bright and early, hardly slept really from excitement for what the day would hold, because we were going to see The Imagination Movers at Seaworld! You see we are a Major Mover loving Family! We have been watching the show forever, know all the songs and even the dance moves. We sadly had never been able to travel to a nearby city to catch a show but when we heard that the Imagination movers where coming to Seaworld San Antonio we knew it was finally our chance to see them LIVE! The Imagination Movers were there for Seaworlds Just for Kids concert series. 

When we got to Seaworld it was rainy, more like heavy drizzle and super cloudy. Umbrellas were everywhere! But we were not going to let rain clouds get in our way of Happiness though, because we knew they were playing at Nautilus Amphitheater which is a covered theater in Seaworld so rain or shine we were there. We were not alone either. In the crowd you could spot a bunch of Imagination Mover t-shirts on kiddos and that got us even more excited. 
Once we got out wrist bands we checked out the entertainment in the area. They had a Meet Franklin booth where my kiddo took a picture with one of our favorite turtles. They had a Dance Party area and more. We grabbed a quick bite before the show and then we were ready! 




Here is my munchkin having fun at the Dance Party! 
The adults who were entertainers and leading the fun were super friendly and energetic. They were definitely not shy and knew just how to get the kids involved and in the mood to party. This was great to have so that your kiddo doesn't get bored and tired of waiting until the show starts. 
Once they opened the gates to the Amphitheater they had tables with Imagination Movers merchandise for sale. It was a dream come true... They had red blinky goggles like Mover Scotts wobble goggles , Cowboy hats like Mover Smittys, red caps like Mover Daves, light up sticks that resembled Mover Richs scribble sticks, t-shirts, posters and more fun!

We picked a seat near the middle where the stage is set up since it extends out in the middle for closer interaction with the audience (which we were hoping for).  Once the Movers came out on stage they were amazing! They had everyone in the audience singing along and dancing. 
They were very interactive! They kept walking through out the audience and reaching out to the kiddos (like mine who excitedly touched there hands) as they walked by and even ran by. They even signed a couple peoples items. I noticed them take turns and sign a childs hat. How awesome is that? They made that childs day for sure!


My Munchkin was so happy with the show that I will admit he cried when they left the stage and I told him it was done. I promised him we would see it again since luckily they were doing TWO shows this day (Lucky us) and he settled down. We went off to get wristbands for the 2nd show and took a snack break. 

This time we got a closer seat in the theater. Looking around the Audience there were many people with 2 wristbands which to me tells me that the Imagination Movers have very loyal fans in San Antonio who had to see there show twice! 
My friend Takeisha snapped up this picture of my munchkin with Mover Dave.
They played a bunch of fan favorites including one of my favorite songs "Shakable You", they sang a song for all us Mothers in the audience (many with crushes on them), "Mother In You". And they even sang A One direction song "What makes you Beautiful". They brought along Kyle and he was a great bonus to the team since he is an Excellent drummer! Him and Rich had major drummer fun, so much that broken drum sticks were involved (that were quickly snatched up by audience members). Rich even gave a set of drum sticks to an audience member who seemed beyond happy to get them. 

The day was awesome at Seaworld even cloudy as it was, my munchkins feet hurt from all the dancing and fun but it was worth it and The Imagination Movers are even more awesome in person than we ever could imagine! Now any time my son is watching them on Tv he can brag that he saw them LIVE too! The memories will live on in all the awesome pictures we got that day. And as for the Just for Kids Concert series... I think Seaworld needs to change the name to Just for Kids and Kids at Heart concert series because the kid in me was super happy. 

Did you see the Imagination Movers concert at Seaworld or did you catch another concert there? Or have you ever seen a Movers concert in your area? How much fun was it?

Happiness is... (Week 7)

Happiness is... my munchkin finally wanting to learn to ride a bike! Its very exciting to see him so enthusiastic about it. Every day for the past 3 days now all I hear from him is "please lets go outside to ride bike...please" Wish Him luck! 
Happiness is... bringing out all the Cascarones that were left over from Easter and having a confetti fight outside regardless of the date. (To be honest I was kinda saving them for Fiesta since we didn't use them all on Easter, but now were going to need some more for Fiesta)
Happiness is... Kittens! Did I mention that on Easter we were blessed with the birth of 4 adorable kittens? My munchkin is obsessed with them and there baby meows! I would like to think that my sweet Gilbert was reincarnated in one of them. 

Happiness is... Free goodies! Like the ones we got at The HEB Healthy family Expo this past weekend including my munchkins new bike helmet. This is nothing compared to how much we brought home (includes tooth brushes, crayon packs, coloring books, pads, tampons, snacks of all sorts, pill containers, tooth paste, and even fresh fruit)
Happiness is... seeing people walk/race for a cause that should be dear to every person in this world... man or women. 
Happiness is... my latest craft on Gummy Lump. I made a DIY Pretend Garden with Munchkin and since it came out last Thursday it has only been met with kind words and I really appreciate everyone who has checked it out and g+ and pinned it. Thank you for your support! 
Lisa at Crazy Adventures in parenting has been doing a weekly series called "Happiness Is_____" where every Wednesday she will be having a link up for others to share what Happiness is to them. So go check that out and link up! You can also follow others along with the hash tag #HappinessIs on twitter and Instagram. Hope to see you there spreading the happiness!
