Sea World, Here we come!

Family fun day #2 took us to Sea World. We bought our Platinum Passports online so all we had to do was redeem them at the kiosk when we got there! It was a beautiful, sunny day and the girls were ready for a day of fish watching!

Our first stop, the dolphin cove. The dolphins were swimming around but there wasn't another feeding for about 30 minutes, so we decided to feed ourselves at the Shipwreck Cafe. Very cool cafeteria style dining with aquarium exhbits throughout the dining area. Aaron and I had ribs and the girl had (guess, what?) -- chicken! They came in Shamu shaped plastic cases, very cute, but they didn't last past baby's hands.

Next stop, the aquarium exhibits and the sea turtles. Hannah and Hailey had a lot of fun being introduced to the Sea Stars in the touch tank. Hannah had some reservations, but finally touched and held on. Hailey showed no fear and scooped one right up! Baby, well, the pictures should tell the story. Funny little baby!

After the sea star pool we visited the shark

tank. Hailey was nervous in the dark halls, but was excited to see the sharks swimming above her head!

Next was the "Pets" show. Tons of cool dogs, cats, birds and pigs.. yes, pigs... doing tricks. Hailey was in HEAVEN! Afterwards we got to meet one of the dogs.

Manatees, more fish and finally PENGUINS and PUFFINS! Very cute and very busy.

We caught the dolphin show, hit the gift shop and headed out, as it became pumpkin time quickly. Next time we are planning on making the Shamu show and the Sea Lion act!

Thanks for reading and sharing our family fun day!
