A Busy Weekend!!

What a busy weekend! It was busy, but certainly full of fun! Last weekend I was l-a-z-y, so this busy weekend was welcomed since I didn't do much of anything last weekend!

The fun started Friday night by going to dinner for my friend Jessica's 25th birthday! We went to Texas Roadhouse and then Dayna and I brought Krispy Kreme back to Audra and Jessica's apartment for dessert.

Saturday we had plans to go to Sea World. Dayna brought a previous student of her's as a very special reward for hard work this school year. It was fun to experience a theme park through the eyes of a 9 year old who had never been before!

Tickets in hand, they're ready to go!

We're so happy that teachers get in FREE to Sea World! :)

Photo opp by the penguins! (Unfortunately the penguin exhibit is under construction, so these were the only "penguins" we saw!)

We did get to see Shamu though!

I absolutely love watching the whale and dolphin shows. It's so fascinating to me!

We also went through the shark tank and saw many types of fish, sharks, eels and stingrays!

Where to next??

We headed to do some rides. Our group was split- half rode rollercoasters, the other half did not. It worked out nicely! I did join the adventurous crew on the ride Atlantis, though. I just don't do upside-down rollercoasters. This was a water ride with two big drop downs! I can feel the thrill in my stomach now just typing it. Ha!

We got wet! This is us standing in the "family dryer" that costs $3. Can you say rip-off? We just stood in there for the picture, but we figured the sun would do just as good of a job drying us off, for free. :)

Our day at Sea World was hot but lots of fun! There is always a lot to do and see, including people-watching. Haha. After Sea World, my friend Shaundra who went with us had invited us to her house for dinner. Her husband smoked some ribs and chicken and it was delicious! It was the perfect ending to a fun, long, hot, tiring day!

Today, I went to a surprise birthday party for my friend Jessica that was being thrown for her by her family. We didn't stay too long, but it was fun to go and "surprise" her. She wasn't too surprised when she saw Audra's car in the driveway, though. Better planning next time, right?

Happy 25th, Jessica!

A fun weekend it was! Now begins another work-week, only six weeks left in this school year!
