Whale of a Day

Since we bought our Sea World passes, we are going to try to use them! This morning, we headed off for some family fun.

The kids really want to feed the dolphins but the line is always so long. Today we found a great spot to watch people feed the dolphins:







We did feed the seals and sea lions. But there were these aggressive birds that would snatch the fish away. The kids were trying their best to throw the fish to the sea lions.







It was sweltering today so we were looking for chances to get in the air conditioning. We decided to check out the sky tower and cool down.











We walked around and saw some divers looking for pearls.









Stella kept asking if they were mermaids!

We walked towards the kid rides and realized the Shamu show was going to begin. We were seated in the third row but way in the corner. The little whales did their part and then Shamu came out. When is the last time you saw Shamu?? That whale is HUGE!! Well, Shamu took his HUGE fin and promptly splashed the entire lower half of the stadium. We were soaked!

The water park was a must too!







But, our big treat of the day was having lunch at the shark encounter restaurant. Even though we had reservations, we had to wait a bit. Can you think of a way to pass 15 minutes?

Hmm??



















The food was waaaayyyyy overpriced but the sharks kept the kids entertained.

The kids are sound asleep now.

Phew!

What a day!!
