I really was excited about taking the kids to Sea World this trip. It was one of my favorite places as a kid and has some unique features that a Zoo doesn't. The kids absolutely loved it and since they were having a promotion - Buy 1 Day get the whole year free - we went back a second day.
Entering the park.
The Seal and Sea Lion Show.
Both kids loved the petting pools. They both tried to feed and touch the Dolphins and weren't scared at all to do it.
Come a little closer please!
While I was taking this picture Eliza actually got to touch the Dolphin. It was hard to get a good angle to take the picture. Sherman also was able to touch the dolphin once too. We also had our picture taken with a dolphin after the Dolphin show. Once I locate the picture I will scan it in and post it. It looks pretty cool.
Trying to touch the Sting Rays.
The Shamu Show was their favorite. We were always the last ones to leave the show. Sherman and Eliza were just intrigued by these whales. They always hoped to get one more look. Grandma Gibbs was nice and bought each of them a stuffed Shamu which they both play with just about every day still. Their newest game lately is playing sharks and Shamu and their stuffed Dolphins that I got for them get to play with them every time they play it.
We did have a day at Grandma's in between our two Sea World outings. The kids seemed to need a day to take it easy after all of our big outings. So my friend Stephanie and her twins came over and went to the park with us that morning and then we went swimming once again in the afternoon.
Day 11 - Sea World Trip #2
Here we are again. In addition to the shows we spent some time in the play area this time.
The play area has changed quite a bit from when I was a kid but some things are still the same. The little jumping area that Eliza is playing on above is still the same. And the nets below were there too. Sherman, Eliza and I climbed all the way up these nets and then came down some slides. They both did really well.
While Eliza was napping I took Sherman on some of the rides in the "Bay of Play". They all made me a bit sick, but he just loved them.
