Sea World

We finally made it to Sea World. We've been talking about it all summer but couldn't find the time. We went last weekend and had a great time. I always forget how cool Sea World is and how much there is to do. My kids sleeping was really off that day so I knew they would be done early. We got there when it opened and headed home around 3pm. We saw lots of sea animal exhibits, watched the always impressive Shamu show, fed and pet the dolphins, played games to win stuffed animals, and played in the huge Elmo exhibit (where they had rides, a huge rope maze, jumper houses, sand/ beach area, meet and greet Sesame street characters, etc). We had a coupon that allows us to go back for free before the end of the year so we're definetly going to try to make it back there. Emilys favorite exhibit was the wallus. We found it really funny that she keeps calling them walluses because she talks so well that she rarely ever mispronounces words. We keep correcting her but she keeps leaving the r out. And Shamu, what a show. It is amazing to see these trainers in the water, telling these killer whales what to do. Emily has added Sea World to her prayer list at night. That means she likes it, a lot!
