Sea World

Sea World has always been a favorite of our family.  We were really looking forward to this day.
We made our plans as soon as we got into the park and had a schedule of the shows.  Enoch really wanted to see the orca show and Kate loves the dolphin show.  Both kids also really the Pet's Rule show.
We got to Shamu Stadium a bit early and had time to talk and look around a bit.  The kids loved seeing the whales and they always put on a good show.
Next up was the dolphin show.  We were able to watch the dolphins earlier in their training pool.  Kate loved it! This is the whole reason she comes to Sea World.  After we came last time, she decided that she was going to be a dolphin trainer when she grows up.  She still wants to do that.  She was so disappointed that she wasn't old enough to go in with the dolphins in their interactive encounter yet.  Maybe next time.
We were also able to go down to their pool and get up close with the dolphins.  They would swim right in front of us and we were all able to touch one.
 The dolphin show was fantastic.  Kate didn't take her eyes off the pool the entire time!
We took a break from the shows, ate some popcorn and visited the fish and shark tanks.  They were fun, but the kids really loved the shows.  We did a bit of shopping and made plans for the rest of the day.
While waiting for the next show, we fed the sea lions.  They are a hungry, greedy, noisy bunch.  Enoch and Greg enjoyed it, but Kate didn't want to touch the slimy fish.
After the feeding the sea lions, we went to their show.  The kids loved it.  It was very entertaining and everyone had a great time.
 We finished our day at Sea World with the Pet's Rule show.  Enoch laughed all the way through it.  He loved it!
What a great time we had.  It was so much fun to see all the animals and sea life.  After Sea World, we ate dinner in the motor home and then drove in to Old Town.
