Sea World

We had been wanting to take the kids on a fun family trip before school started but since I got hired with Southwest and had lots of training this summer we weren't able to do all the things we had wanted. We were able to fly out the Wednesday before school started and got to Sea World and then flew home that night. And the first exhibit we went to was the Penguins and looked who is a sponsor! Really Southwest is a great company to work for, we even were able to get our discount tickets to Sea World through them :) It was nice to get away from the really hot heat and enjoy a day of cooler temps in San Diego, good thing we brought jackets!!!!!!

Sadie and I decided we were kind of like penguins because we both love standing with our faces to the sun! Awweeeee it feels so good :)
Of course the kids thought we had to sit in the "Soak Zone" at the dolphin show...... Kevin and I sat behind them, and luckily didn't get wet then!


I don't know if this is a pained look on Tate's face or he just wanted me to hurry and take the picture so he didn't miss the show.


I think the dolphin show was my favorite, the kids really like the Pet Show were all the animals did cool tricks and stuff.




And what would Sea World be without Shamu!!!! It was really amazing and very entertaining, and again luckily we didn't get wet here :)

The Seals were really entertaing also!

So we did go on a River Rapids ride 'Ship Wrecked' and I normally don't go on rides that will get me all wet especially when I know I will be cold, but the kids talked me into it. All was going really well until the end of the ride and Kevin and I ended up under a waterfall and so we were drenched. The kids thought it was great and wanted to go again but I kept reminding them we couldn't fly home soaking wet. So here are the kids laying out in the sun trying to dry off. Of course as soon as the sun went down it was freezing and we didn't get all the way dry before we left. But it was a fun time!

Its a Shamu Cookie Dessert :)
Me and my Honey near the end of the day.

We had a really great day together, we might have gone home a little wet and got more sun then we thought :) But it was an amazing day with my beautiful family and I enjoyed every minute of it!!
