Sea World Day

Steve had to work most of the day this Saturday, so the kids and I headed off to Sea World to use our annual passes. It was a fun laid back day for us. The nice thing about having the passes is not having to cram so much into one day. I let each of the girls pick one thing they really wanted to do, and then anything we do beyond that is just icing on the cake for them. We saw a few shows, visited my favorite, the penguins (it's such a happy place in there!), and then we got them changed into their swim suits for fun on the splash pad. As we were heading out of the park, I decided to make a quick detour for the Shamu viewing area. Right as we got there, two trainers showed up with some play dough and asked the kids to make a shape and stick it to the glass. Shamu came right over and pressed his nose right up to their shapes. It was so cool!! They got to lead him in a few tricks like spinning around in a circle and nodding yes. It was definitely the highlight of the day for me. Watching them experience such a HUGE creature up close was awesome!

Thanks Shamu!
