Sea World

Well, our trip to Florida was a huge success in every way. We had a great time! First day there we went to Sea World and this being Memorial Day, I was surprised that there was not bigger crowds that there were. We had beautiful weather and all the animals were so active.
We even got to see dolphins "snuggling" as Grace put it. We quickly gave the "evil eye" to Keith to not comment on the PG-13 display before us and 30 other little ones.

Zachary loved the aquariums, I couldn't get a good picture of the floor in this one, but we let him down to crawl around for awhile and he was just fascinated by the fish swimming beneath him!

I am told the water ride was cool, Rob and I are not fans of walking around wet all day, so we did not ride, but everyone, including all the kids (minus Zach of course), this was there first major drop ride, they had so much fun. Their expressions were priceless going down that drop! Wide eyes and mouths open!

There were so many photo opportunities! Really, it was just beauty everywhere you looked!

There was the neatest play ground that was like McDonald's play land on steroids! It was HUGE, the kids went nuts! They ran and climbed and had a blast in all the tunnels and slides! The best part, the shade under it, and picnic tables too, all the parents congregated there to watch the kids having fun, Topeka needs one!

I fed Zach and Papa Earl a frozen treat, they really enjoyed it, but Zach wasn't sure how he felt about sharing (Papa Earl either)!

Then, of course, there is Shamu, the whole reason we love Sea World. Everyone was awe-struck by this show! Even Zach couldn't take his eyes off the huge killer whales.
