A Birthday Party at Sea World!

We decided to forego a friend's birthday party for the twins the year. Instead we decided to surprise them with a trip to Sea World. All we told the girls was that we were having a surprise for their birthday. They guessed a few things (Chuck E Cheese, pool party, party at the park). On the day that we left we gave them a bag of goodies that gave clues about where we were headed. No one guessed it, even Raegan who's been there twice already. She guessed that we were going on a cruise, skiing, or to Florida. When we told them where we were going, they were all excited. We headed down to Sea World on a Friday night and stayed at the Hilton Hill Country Spa and Resort. Aside from sleeping issues at the hotel, it was a great time. The weather was fantastic and the girls all had a great time at Sea World. We got season passes with our trip so we are planning to head down again in July to visit their new waterpark and see Shamu one more time. The surprise trip was a great change from the regular friend's birthday party extravaganza!
