One of T's favorite things to do at Seaworld is feed the dolphins. It is the first thing we do when we walk through the gate. Enter gate, proceed to the left, purchase fish and feed the dolphins. You have to get there early to do it because sometimes they run out of fish. We've actually had people approach us and ask to buy our fish. You can see Z in T's arms. Z is not as excited as T is about feeding the dolphins.
E was excited about watching us feed the dolphins. She didn't really want to feed them.
Then it was off the the aquarium to check out more fish, some sharks, sea horses, lobsters, craw fish, etc. Lots of great fun.
Then, of course, for the big show. Shamu. I'm such a big softie. I actually start to get all teary when I go to these types of things because I get so happy watching my kids have so much fun.
You can see how in to it they are. E in particular in this picture. She is totally into watching the whales perform.
I love this photo.
Here we are at the seal and walrus show. They have the same show every time. And we come to watch it every time. It is a bit of a caper. Very cute. But this time was quite funny because one of the seals wouldn't do what he was supposed to do and the show couldn't quite move forward until he did it. The live actors just went with it and we all laughed. The 30 minute show ended up being about 15 because of it all. Great fun.
The photo of this walrus doesn't really do it justice. He is HUGH!
Seaworld has a playground area. In all our previous visits, we had never been in there. But this trip, we ventured there to see what it was all about. it was quite fun. In this photo, T and E are across the way and Z and I are on a ship. All the areas are connected by rope tunnels. It is quite scary as you have to crawl through the tunnels to get from place to place. The tunnels are two to three stories up. The kids don't mind at all. The adults are frightened!
Here is a very happy little man.
Here is one of those cute little rides that go round and round. I was brave enough to try one out with my kids. I wasn't sure how Z would behave on it, seeing that we were about 20 feet in the air. Would he sit still? Would he get scared? He was fine. He thought it was a blast!
And this is actually the funniest of them all. This is a water ride called Atlantis. This is the splash area. People can wait here and get splashed when the ride comes barreling down. Well, I was on the ride and E convinced T that this was a "safe" area to stay. Note the wet ground. Well, T got the surprise of his life when he got soaked as the ride came down and sprayed him. It was quite funny to come off the ride and see them both soaked.
