Our Day at Sea World!

So we decided that for our last day in California that we would go to Sea World. So we drove to San Diego for the day. WOW Sea World has changed a lot since I have been there many years ago. (They even have rides now)

Anyway we all had a great time at Sea World!Mapping out our day and making sure we get to see all the shows.

The first show we went to see was Shamu.It was a pretty neat show. (if you ever go don't sit in the soak zone or you will get SOAKED and I mean SOAKED)

Another show that we got to see was the sea lions. This was the boys favorite show out of all of them. They were pretty funny and they did some cool tricks.

While we were waiting for Shawn and Bry to join us we just watched these really big turtles. The had like 5 of them and they just swim around and then go back up on the beach for a minute and then go swim again. They were funny little characters!

Shawn and Bry went on this water ride called Ship Wreck Rapids

(no one else wanted to go on the ride cause it was a bit chilly out and getting wet would make it even more cold) and man they got SOAKED!! It was because of the soaker boxes (which you will see pictures of them below) If it weren't for those they probably wouldn't have gotten wet at all! Anyway they had a great time!

here they are at the soaker boxes I was talking about

and these were one of several poor people that were soaked by the boys!! I guess paybacks are a ......!

Shawn said revenge is sweet!

Sea World has a few rides there now. So we decided to ride on the gondola. It was a pretty cool ride. It just took us from one side of ocean to the other (although you are not able to get off of the ride once you are over to the other side.) Anyway the views were beautiful and while we were on the ride the sun was setting. It was so neat to see.

Sea World has a really cool exhibit where we got to see lots of Sharks!! They had a tunnel that you walked through and the sharks would swim very close to the glass (see picture below) it was kind of scary but very cool!!

silly boy

They had really cool surf boards there and of course I had to have one last group picture!

The boys thought that this boat was so cool!

They also had another ride called Atlantis that Shawn and Bry loved!! (again it was another boat ride where you get wet and no one else wanted to ride it cause it was even colder than earlier that day) This ride was part roller coaster part log ride. Its Shawn's most favorite ride out of all the rides on our trip. And they didn't get too wet. (sorry no pictures of this ride)

Anyway, we had a great day at Sea World!!
