Sea World

In the middle of July, we took a trip to Sea World! I had gotten some Groupon tickets at a pretty good price, and I was wanting to see the orca shows before they changed their presentations. We had such a great time. We were impressed with how well Evie did the whole day. She took some cat naps, and never really got cranky. We all were amazed at the orcas. We went to two orca shows, one we just stood at the top because we got there a little late, but we sat in the splash zone for the second (John Mark and Evie stayed at the top). We got soaked! We also went to a fun "Sea Lions Go to School" show that was really enjoyable. That one had a little otter in it that kept me laughing. The kids loved the rides that we did. We also got to watch a pretty amazing skiing/jet ski stunt show while we ate lunch. 

Just arriving, ready to go!

First ride. This was a little bitty roller coaster that
Curtis absolutely loved. We made sure to let him ride it
again at the end of the day.

Such amazing animals!

Evie would clap along with every one else. :)

Splash Zone!

We were very close to the whales and trainer for this show.

Just got soaked!

The end of a great day.

We stayed with Mimi for three nights as part of our trip. Curtis read books to her, and Wesley was very helpful when she needed assistance. She was so amazed when Wesley and Curtis heated up their own frozen breakfast sandwiches one morning while John Mark and I slept in (Evie had had a rough night on her makeshift bed).
