Sea World

On Saturday we took the kids to Sea World. This was our big trip of this vacation. Will has been so excited to see Shamu and that was the first thing we did when we arrived at Sea World. The show, Believe, was amazing and the whales are just so beautiful. Will was mesmerized through the entire show and he didn't take his eyes off of the whales. Lauren really enjoyed the show, too, though some of it was a little loud and scary. I loved watching her follow the whales. After the show, we headed to see the beluga whales (Baby Beluga...Raffi!), walrus, and polar bears. Then it was time for lunch. We headed over to see the Clydesdale horses and the pet show after lunch. The kids really enjoyed the pet show - they even had a trained skunk and pig! Then we went to the children's area to play and ride the roller coaster (see next post). We got "stuck" in the children's area for an extra hour because a HUGE thunderstorm came through. Will and I were up in the rope climbing area when we were told to get down because thunder was in the area. Well, they were right and we all got pretty wet! After the storm, we headed over to the dolphins, turtles, and sting rays. We did a little shopping and then we left for the day. We didn't see the whole park, but we'll go back soon!
