Alright...I know I have been a slacker on this TR
Please forgive me.
Day 4, SeaWorld
I will have to post my SeaWorld pictures later....my camera ran out of juice as soon as we got to the park
I purchased a disposable camera and used that for the day.....one of these days I will get those developed
We had a really wonderful day. The first thing we did was get the girls another face painting. Next off to the best part of our day at SeaWorld....feeding the dolphins. I would have paid admission just to do this. The girls were really into it. I purchased several trays of fish (Stinky, Stinky
). They just swim right up to you. Really, Really
We watched the new Dolphin show which was pretty entertaining. THis got Avery all psyched to see Shamu.
We went into all of the attractions along the way: dolphin nursery (very cool), sting ray exhibit/ petting center, penguin encounter (pretty lame), shark encounter (which I remember being so afraid of as a little kid....not as scary as I remembered it
). My favorite part was our pit stop to the Budweiser Place....John and I enjoyed our beers (MMMMM....BEEEEERRRR) while the girls had a bit of lunch. We even saw the Budweiser Clydesdale horses with a special winter outfits (or whatever you call horse gear
)...that was pretty neat actually. Then off to Shamu stadium to get a good seat (Avery was DYING to be in the GET WET seats). It was a pretty warm day so I wasn't too worried (plus I had a couple of ponchos...I'm no dummy).
The Believe show was really amazing and LOT'S of fun. Lillian watched without making a peep the entire show. AT the end we did get splashed....Avery really loved that part.
A little SeaWorld side note....I couldn't help but feel a little sad for Shamu. That guy is SOOOO big and the only part of the show he did was the very end for a splash. They have other Orka's for the entertaining part of the show. I'm no marine biologist, but that fella looks pretty sad compared to the other ones. His Dorsal fin is all curled over and his tail is all curled up too
We spent the rest of our time at SeaWorld in the kiddie area. They have the best little rides for preschoolers. Avery rode OVER and OVER and OVER. They also have a really fun playarea (reminded me of the honey I shrunk the kids play area at MGM....er I mean Disney Studios
).
We decided to leave around 3:00 PM and try and get over to Downtown Disney for dinner (no ADR's ...just winging it).
Ok....so I will upload those pictures when I get them d
