Sea World Part 2

On the second day we were at Sea World we went to the dolphin show that also had beluga whales, high divers, and synchronized swimming performers. It was by far the most entertaining show at Sea World. The high divers would do tricks off of the beams in the ceiling, and they had this swing that they did tricks off of too. It was incredible what they could do

After the show, the kids got to meet the Beluga whale trainer and got a close up look at the dolphins. 

Here are the boys with their Daddy on a giant mesh jungle gym. It looked so fun. They just climbed and climbed and climbed for about an hour. Now that is something I would love in our back yard.

While the boys were on the jungle gym, Emeri and I went to the carousal. She picked out her own horse and giggled the whole time we were riding it. You should have seen the tantrum that followed when we had to go.

Meeting Franklin! Yes!!!! I love it when reading can come alive for the boys. This was great, the boys did not want to leave the children's area until they got a picture with Franklin.

Our family in front of the big fountain at the entrance to Sea World

This was a giant swimming pool that held about 7 bottle nosed dolphins. People could stand in line and pay money to pet the dolphins or cheap people, like us, just hung over the edge and hoped one would pass by. Well, cheap totally paid of this time because one of the dolphins stopped right in front of us!!!!! IT WAS SO COOL! All three kids, Austin, and I got to pet one of the dolphins for about 20 seconds. It was so awesome. It felt so rubbery and wet. I wished I would have taken a picture but we were all so enthralled by the dolphin stopping right in front of us that we spaced it. Oh well, next time.

And of course I had to show Austin how much Emeri loved the carousal, so we went back together as a family. Totally worth it. She loved it again, and the boys thought it was pretty fun as well.
