Sea World




On Saturday (5/29) we went to Sea World. My Sister-in-law and niece and nephew are in town from Chicago so it was a great way to spend the entire day together. We hit no traffic both ways, saw lots and lots of animals, got soaked by Shamu (5 times!!!), ate some good food, and best of all we spent a great day all together!

Had to wake up the beauties from their slumber to go. Wanted to get on the road early!
Ready to see some fish!! Check out my new stroller! Im in love!
Sea World has an area Sesame Street themed. The girls loved it. Hannah found Elmo. She calls him Melmo. so cute!

They wanted to hold Elijah's hands all day. What a great little guy he is!
I love this!

All his grandchildren! Great pic!
These girlies are too cute!
Sea stars. The kids touched them, but it was chaotic at the tide pools so I didn't get a good pic.
popsicle break.
A cat nap for Natalya.
So excited to see Shamu! We were in the 8th row, the "Soak Zone". And we did get soaked! Couldn't get a pic of us actually getting soaked. We were doing all we could to keep our phones dry!
After the show, and after the shower of sea water we all got. The darn whale splashed us not once, but FIVE times, one right after the other. He had it out for our side of the arena or something. After the 2nd splash all 4 kids were crying, and there was no where to go. They kept telling us to stay in our seats. Hard to do when the kids were crying. We felt so helpless. But it was all in good fun. We are still laughing about it, and have some great memories! This is Gracie soaked.
Hannah soaked.
My Father in Law soaked.
End of a long day.
Trying to find the exit.
What a fantastic day! The End!
