Exiting - Easier Said than Done

Once we decided to leave Sea World for the day we actually had to get out of the park. We treked back to the entrance and had to wait for our roller coaster photo. Yeah thats right, the little man that kept vomiting wanted to ride the roller coaster. We got our photo then headed to the line for a rain check ticket. About that time the sky started looking very scary and Sea World announced that they were closing for the day due to inclement weather. As I was waiting in line I saw our hotel shuttle and figured I had better get rescued while I could. We left the line and ran across the entrance plaza to the shuttle just as it was pulling away. I guess we looked pretty pathetic because they ended up backing up to get us and we took the last two seats. Oh I forgot to mention, since our lunch was cancelled Max wanted a bag of Cheetos on our way out of the park. He had such a good morning I thought ok we could try that. On the shuttle back to the hotel he started looking a little green. I just kept praying please don't vomit in the shuttle all over these people. We made it to the hotel and up to our room. We had been there about five minutes and here come the cheetos. Positive note, our room had not been cleaned for the day yet so now there were to vomit spots to address, one you couldn't miss since it was bright orange. I get him bathed and both of us in to dry clothes, call Daddy away from his conference to take us to the doctor, and the phone rings. It was our friends who were joining us in San Antonio that day. She greets me with heard there has been some excitement around here. Thinking she must have talked to my husband I say, what Max vomiting. She was like no the tornado warning where they had all the hotel guests come down stairs into the banquet hall. At this point I just had to laugh, that was Sea World's "inclement weather" and nasty sky we saw. So while all the hotel guests were huddled in the banquet hall, Max and I were running across the Sea World entrance to get in a shuttle. Don't worry we are from Oklahoma, we know what a tornado looks like but it was funny none the less.
