Our first (of several) trip to Sea World

 Not only is our house so beautiful and awesome with a backyard, but it is 5 minutes from Sea World. Living that close meant that we would be visiting it a lot, so we purchased year passes. Woo hoo! It's great that we can go for a couple of hours, see a show or two, ride some rides, and then come back home. It's very relaxing, and there's no pressure to see everything all at once. 

We saw the Sea Lion show which was really funny.  

 The walrus at the end was massive!

 You can definitely tell that it's summertime! There's hardly anyone sitting in the sun, and even though my family is sitting in the shade, they are covered in sweat. Eeewww!

 Thankfully the Shamu show was enclosed. We had pretty good seats in the Splash Zone.

 I am amazed at how large these creatures are, and how they can just throw themselves out of the water like this!

 The Sesame Street Bay of Play is a huge hit with the kids! Even Beau likes it. Really, he does. He's smiling on the inside; he just forgot to tell his face.

 Abi loves that she's big enough to go on almost all of the rides by herself. There is one ride, The Great White, that she is just a couple of inches too short for. By next summer she should be able to ride it for sure!

 At this point, Sariah wasn't completely confident on her feet, so she was confined to the stroller most of the time. The ground was much too hot for her to crawl on. Poor baby. She was a trooper about it, and didn't complain.
