Sea World

We managed to squeeze in a trip to Sea World before the end of the year. Yeah! I got annual passes for Brooke and I (Ali is still free, but not for long). The main reason we wanted to go was for the Polar Express Experience that they have there every winter. Brooke is really into that movie so we wanted her to be able to "experience it". Io was a little nervous though. I saw on their website that you have to be 42 inches to get on the ride. I didn't think she would make it but they had a "walking" version that you could take if you didn't want to do the simulator ride. So either way we would be okay. We got there and she measured 41 1/2"! No lie! The did not let her on.. :( She was okay with it though and we still got to go to the North Pole and see Santa. THEN, luckily for us, there was also am Elmo and Abby Cadabby (Ali's favorite) live show that we were able to see too. So we hit major highlights for both girls. It was super duper crowded there that day so we didn't do much other than that and wait in line 30+ minutes for lunch. But it was fun anyway and we're excited to go back when the tourists leave!

Brooke used some Christmas money to buy Dolphin Trainer Barbie! We had to call Uncle Jeff right away and let him know!!
