California Vacation Day 3......Sea World

Here we are at Sea World. It was such a fun day with perfect weather. Sea World was so much better then I remembered it to be. I haven't been there for YEARS but it seemed bigger with a lot more to do. Maybe I was just enjoying it so much because I was having fun watching the kids make memories.




This was Britton's favorite part of the whole trip. He loved feeding and petting the Bat wray's. He was so brave about it and didn't want to leave. Shayna wouldn't have anything to do with it. She was so scared of them. It really made her mad when one of the bat wray's swam along the edge and used his "wing" to splash water on her.

On the skytower ride. Once you get to the top it slowly spins around so you can see the whole park.

I had to get a picture of this tree. I thought the roots were so amazing. You walk passed it when you get off of the skytower ride.

At the seal and otter show. This was a really fun show and made the kids laugh a lot.


At the whale show. It's called Believe. It was really neat, you couldn't help but get a little teary eyed.



The little theme park at Sea World is a lot of fun for the kids. Britton and Shayna rode on all of the rides and played in the big jungle gym. Tyler and I did too!


The kids got to feed the flamingo's. Flamingo's are so weird. Look closely at this guys leg. You can't tell me that's comfortable.


We went on the bayside skyride. Everyone seemed to really enjoy it. Mostly something to do to relax for a bit, You really don't get to see much.


Britton begged us to go back to the Bat Wray's. He wanted to feed them again and he loved petting them. Shane decided he would try touching them.

Shay decided if Shane could do it, so could she.

And she loved it. They are so velvety soft. She wouldn't touch the fish to feed them though. I don't blame her. I wouldn't either.

This is at the shark tank. After seeing those teeth I gotta say I was a little nervous to play in the ocean.


Family picture moments by another very cool tree.


The four generations!

The four amigo's!

The very last thing on our list to do was to visit the Wild arctic. I'm glad we didn't miss this attraction. It was very cool. No pun intended.....they keep it freezing in there. I guess it makes sense. It was the arctic after all.

Sea Otter

Very cute and sleepy Polar Bear

Walrus

Beluga. This guy was funny. And so cute. He would swim as fast as he could toward the glass window then at the very last second turn and swim away. He would do it over and over right in front of my Dad. Ty say's he was looking for a mate. Haha!

Penguins

Cute picture of Shayna and Grandpa getting ready for lunch.

And our last picture of the day.....On our way out of Sea World with all of our treasures.

We all had a ton of fun. It was the perfect day and the kids truly made it enjoyable. They were so happy all day long. No tears, no fighting, no attitudes.......pure bliss!

Back at the motor home after a long day at Sea World with their frosty libations. I think this was the highlight of their day!
