Sea World

So here are the long awaited pictures of Sea World. I know the 3 people that read my blog were on the edge of their seats, waiting for these. I forgot that I hadn't posted them, then found them in another folder today. So there you go.


We had a great time at Sea World. The first day we got there, Friday, it was so dead. Compared to the crazy packed-ness of Disney, it was very nice. Saturday it go much busier, but still nothing compared to Disney. We fed the sea lions, and that was so much fun. Expensive, but fun. They charge you $6 for 4 tiny fish that go very quickly. And there are nasty birds everywhere that will try to snatch it mid air or even right from your hands. My mom got pecked by one while she was holding the fish, so I was a little scared to let Ava do it. I just helped her and we got the fish out of her hands as quick as possible. I could have watched the sea lions all day. They are so entertaining and cute.

Of course, we saw Shamu. Corrine was so cute; every time she sees pictures of Shame now she says "splash". When we first sat down, we sat in the designated "soak" section. We figured, how wet can you get? But then before the show, they showed video of just how bad it can get. We moved. It was a little chilly that day with a slight breeze, and we didn't want to be miserable all wet. Plus I know Ava would have screamed bloody murder and Corrine wouldn't have liked it either. After keeping an eye on where whe had been sitting, we were glad we moved. Those people really got soaked!


They had bat rays, they look like sting rays but they don't sting. They were fun to pet. They would come up and nudge your hands, looking for food.

They had an exporation pool, the little kiddos liked that.

The pink flamingos were really pretty. Stinky, but pretty. Why do we always call them PINK flamingos? Have you ever seen one in a different color?

And Michaela got to fulfill a lifelong dream of touching a dolphin. We went to see how much it would be for her to interact with one more, and it was a lot of dough. We told the girls that the next time we are there (hopefully in a year or two) if they have saved up half the cost, we would pay the other half for them to swim with them. As it was, we bought 3 packs of fish and fed them.

They were so cute; I had never been that close to one before.

This was a highlight for everyone.

They had one of these thingys there, I think it is a tram. It was short, but beautiful and fun. We couldn't all fit in one car, so we split up. This is a picture of my car, looking at Jason, the baby,my mom and Michaela. Ava, Payden, and I were on another one.

Here's lookin' at ya!
