Sea World ...

We took a family trip to Sea World yesterday! We had lovely weather and we all enjoyed it very much.  The kids were astounded at all the beautiful fish God created!

When we arrived we went to the Shamu Whale show.  Awesome and very neat!  Then we walked around the whole park, stopping at all the many exhibits!

Hadassah wanted to do some roller coaster rides. I got Mike to go on that with her.  Then we did a few rides with Matthew too! 

We gave them both $3 for a small prize. Matthew picked from a bunch of little sting rays (not real) and he won a small sting ray. Hadassah picked from a group of octopuses. Depending on the color on the bottom of the animal you would pick, that determined the size of your prize. Well, Hadassah picked a yellow color and won a BIG octopus! She was delighted!

We ended our day with the little rides. Ashlyn got to go on her first Mary-go round ride and she loved it! She also loved all the fish! Every time we walked away from a fish aquarium, she cried!

 You could actually go into an area that the fish surrounded you inside their glass.  Here's the two oldest enjoying the views!

 You could pet real sting rays!!!  There was a pool of tons of sting rays that swam around and you could touch them.  (The part that stings a person, was clipped.  No danger!)

 Here was one of the many walk through aquariums.

 Dolphins!!!

Birds ...

 We bought some fish and fed it to the seals.  The seals make a nasty barking sound and it stank from all the fish!  Matthew liked this!

 Tropical plants ...

The day was a lot of walking, sunny and fun!  Thank you Hon for the fun day and for taking us to Sea World!
