We had a blast visiting Sea World. I don't know if Daddy T and I had more fun than the kiddos, but I do know they loved it and fell asleep during the last show that happened at 9:30. The stadium got real dark for the Shamu Rocks show and out they went, along with many other kids in the stadium. B has decided he loves the orcas, particularly Shamu, and Baby M loves the dolphins. I think it's because they squeak and so does she so she just might be able to understand them! I have such fond memories of Sea World since we went with our families when I was younger. I loved it ever since then and going back made it so much better! The shows were great and the sea lion show is hilarious. The dolphin show is gorgeous and beautiful and Shamu is simply magnificent. It's a little difference since they can't get in the water with Shamu anymore. Daddy T and I thought the show was lots better when they could get in the water with them but completely understand why they can't. With that said, it's still a great show with beautiful whales. If only I could be a trainer....

| Daddy T bought fish for B and Baby M to feed to the seals. Neither wanted to touch the fish, so Daddy T's hands smelled fishy for a bit. The seals loved the food. They're the happiest seals, I'm sure. |

| The seal/sea lion show was great. It's the funniest show and this one was funnier because the seal decided to do his own thing at one part of it and they had to improvise. The night show with them is even funnier. |

| B loved the tower ride. He wasn't scared at all. His favorite was between this one and the roller coaster. He thought they should both go faster, though. Baby M was a fan of ony one ride. |

| What they chose to take home... |
 |
| Doing situps during the last show where they re-enact all of the shows done at Sea World. I will say those sea lions are pretty good. They carried the sign in the water that states "Shamu, Can You Do This?" |

We had such a wonderful time. I can't wait to come back with my kiddos again. It was the first day that I haven't thought about my house and ALL of the work that I have left to do in a week! I'll be seeing Shamu and the dolphins in my dreams.....
