SeaWorld

I found a great deal for the kids and I to go to SeaWorld one of the days we were in Orlando.  Yes I took three kids to a theme park by myself...and it was so great!  They did soooo good at Disney World with Josh and I, so I figured I can do another park on my own since Josh had to be at his conference.

First thing we saw were these pretty pink flamingos, which Kennedi likes of course, because they are pink.  She's even got her flamingo shirt on for the occasion, and Libby's wearing a seashell shirt to go with the theme of SeaWorld. :)

 Our first show was the Pirate Seal show.

The girls thought the seals were very funny.

 This humongous walrus came out for the finale.  Yikes!

 Checking out all the aquariums around the park.

 Loving the waterfalls.

 This is the dolphin nursery, they were teaching about the dolphin training here.

 We also saw the dolphin show.  Very cool!

 They were really amazed!  Soak zone...we didn't get too wet though.

 We saw a pet show, which I wasn't too sure about.  It's all for the kids though so we went and they loved it.  All the animals did some very impressive tricks.  There were dogs, cats, ducks, gerbils, birds, pig, and others.

 The sea water turtle show was in 3D, new for the girls.

 There was not a Shamu show, but they had about 6 Orcas out performing tricks and telling all the info on their training.

 We crossed this long bridge over this beautiful lake to get to the other side of the park where the whales, rides, polar bears, beluga whales, and walrus' were.

 The girls could go on quite a few rides without me, which they thought was awesome.

 Parker took a break.

 Parker is the most loving little boy.  We can't get enough of him, he's the sweetest!

 Our little hot dog boy...this is Kennedi favorite shirts for Parker.

The girls favorite ride...the crab ride.  It goes up really high and then back down a couple of times.

 There were really no lines for any of the rides so they rode each ride a few times in a row.
We walked back across the long bridge and grabbed a bid waffle cone of ice cream and headed back to the dolphin show for the second time.  We all just really liked it and needed a food break, so why not enjoy a show.

 Eating up his banana.

 Sea lion exhibit.

 More aquiriums.

And then my camera died.  We saw sharks after this...so many.  We walked through an aquirum tunnel filled with sharks and other fish.  It was a little dark too, so it made it scary for the girls at first and they didn't want to go through.  They did it and if you asked them what was one of their favorite parts they said the sharks.  :)  We all had such a fun time, we just wish Josh could be there too.
We did pretty good with food for the day by bringing in our own sandwiches, water and snacks.  But we were really hungry after this long day so we went to Taco Bell and McDonalds on the way home to eat back at our hotel.  Half of us wanted one or the other and they were next door, nice!  It was soooo good after all our walking.
