The Fortenberry Three (Jonathan was at EFY in San Antonio) traveled to Austin on July 4th. We grabbed breakfast at our annual church picnic and began our trek to Auntie Jan's house. We spent the night there and left Mollie with her Dachshund friend, Josie. She enjoyed having her own vacation.
Pick-up time at EFY in San Antonio was at 7:00 a.m. on Saturday. We were so happy to get our boy back. He had a great time, but that is a separate post.
After picking up Jonathan, we had breakfast and then met our friends - The Palmer's - and made our way to Sea World. We spent two days at the park. We watched lots of great shows and spent time at their water park. At first, Jessie was humoring us and didn't really want to go. She had watched Blackfish which is a documentary detailing how Sea World mistreats their animals. If you have known Jessie since she was a little girl, then you know that Sea World is her most favorite place on earth! Well, once we got there she lightened up and absolutely enjoyed herself. She was still concerned, but took in all the shows and enjoyed seeing all of her favorites. I don't think she enjoyed the orcas as much as she once did due to all the awful things she learned on the documentary.
Jessie's favorite was the Sea Lions and her second favorite was the dolphins. Jonathan loved the roller coasters. He couldn't get enough of them! Thank goodness for Corbin and Conner. Those sweet boys went a few extra times with him. I went the first time. The Steel Eel was right up my alley. I rode the Great White twice in a row (as in we didn't even have to get back in line). Thankfully, I didn't have very much in my stomach, because I was quite queasy!
