SeaWorld San Antonio's Aquatica First Birthday!

A couple of weeks ago we got really lucky and we were able to go celebrate Aquaticas First Birthday! Yep its been over a year now since Aquatica opened in Seaworld San Antonio. It was special for us since we were actually there on Aquaticas first day. 

So of course on the one year birthday we had to be one of the first people there especially because of the prizes! First 100 people got a free Aquatica towel and they are huge, Its more like a blanket actually and we have been enjoying our free towels. Then they had a giveaway where they had passed out tickets to the people there and randomly picked winners from the tickets and guess what? I was a winner! I won a stingray interaction for me and my munchkin, How awesome is that? 

Here's a peek at our Fun day and at Aquatica in case you've never been there! 

Doesn't Aquatica look like a lot of fun? Be sure and check it out if your in San Antonio this summer! There's plenty more to do and I will share more as we enjoy more areas of Aquatica! Happy Summer!

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?

Project 52: Week 17

This past week life was a bit sweeter and we tried finding happiness here at home. My dad still has to see the doctor 3x a week and he cant be putting weight on his foot, but things are getting easier every day. Hopefully soon I can say he is all better. We played outside and even found some creepy caterpillars! I looked them up online and it looks like a PipeVine SwallowTail. Apparently they are poisonous though so we need to watch out with our pets. 

We made some scratch Art (can you tell my munchkin made Sponge Bob and Patrick?) and played with stamps. But the best part of this past week was going out to Seaworld for the final weekend of the Just for Kids Concert series. The imagination Movers were there and the show was amazing! 

Hopefully the weeks keep getting better. How was your week? 

Project 52: Week 8

Project 52: Week 8

Hi there! Another week has come and gone so quickly! Can you believe February is ending in a couple of days and then its March! Yep, too quick. Not only that but this year Easter is in March so if you haven't started planning, then you are already late. Don't worry, its not your fault! We normally celebrate Easter in April so this year it just sneaks in right after St. Patrick's day. 

This past week we went to SeaWorld San Antonio for Wild Days and had lots of fun! It was our first visit of the new season and we cant wait to go back! We had fun wearing some new fashionable pieces in our hair and we started getting ready for Easter! yep, I went through the storage and got out all the Easter baskets and grass and fun eggs. I also have been making pretty much only scrambled eggs (instead of sunny side up) so I can save the eggs in order to make cascarones. Its so much fun to make your own cascarones rather than spending money on them. 

How was your past week? Share your Project 52 with me!

I also have a Board full of yummy food, basket ideas and decorations for Easter so check that out! 

SeaWorld San Antonio Wild Days!

This past weekend my family and I got a chance to learn a little more about the animals around us at SeaWorld San Antonio during Wild Days. My munchkin probably didn't even notice he was learning about the conservation of animals but instead was having so much fun watching them walk, fly and jump on stage. 

Here's a glimpse of the fun we had: 

We arrived bright and early for our first visit of the new season.

Munchkin posing in front of the fountain. You can see Aquatica in the background! In Texas its Hot almost always so I'm glad its opening March 2nd for its 2nd season. 

This weekend we came to enjoy Wild days! I was excited because I wanted to see what animals they would be showing and I knew munchkin would love it.

While kids were waiting for the Wild Days shows to start there was a big section roped off full of chalk so kids could grab some chalk and draw all over the place. It was a good distraction for the kids, plus they could check out someone making some special work of art.

In the area around the show they also had Live music and characters walking around for people to take pictures with. Plus some special booths with a kids activity where they could learn about an animal, and even one where they had items you could buy to support the conservation of animals.

We then got ready to watch the show! It was fun and informative for all ages. They had professor Globentrotter on the screen sharing his adventures with us while they would bring out various fun animals on the stage. They would let you know about each animal and what is going on with them in the world. Some of the animals are endangered and they were telling us what we can do to help! They ran the show in a fun way so that the kids got great information while never noticing they were learning and a lucky few of them even got to go on stage and say hello to some of the animals.      

After the show we took a walk to see the lake. It is always such a beautiful sight! Munchkin loves peaking over and seeing all the fish. They are huge!

We then took a quick look through Bay of Play and took a picture with Bert and Ernie! 

We then went to go see The Sea Lions! They are so awesome swimming around and catching fish and even some squid! 

We ended our day after eating some yummy pizza and cant wait to head back out there and have more fun! This weekend is the final weekend of Wild Days so head on out and enjoy the animals! Hope to see you out there and especially when Aquatica opens. I will be the one with munchkin playing in the sand.
