Sea World

So we decided to try Sea World again, the last time we went the boys had just started walking and were more interested running to the plants and flowers and pulling them apart.
What a difference 5 months makes .

The advert had been coming on TV and the boys were pointing and shouting fish!!!!

We even decided we would sit in the splash zones and packed extra clothes ready for the soaking.It was a beautiful day the temps were in the high 90's with a heat index of over a 100 and no forecast of rain.




Our Arrival at Sea World. The boys had a good sleep on the way up, first stop would be the New Shamu show





Shamu stadium, after parking the strollers and stopping by the shop, we all walked to our seats 

Anderson and Benjamin sat together exited for the show!!!!

Christopher went with mummy to look at the killer whales 

Shamu seemed just as excited to see Christopher 

Of course Benjamin and Anderson then wanted to see the whales up close 

All swopping seats trying to get the best view, Christopher drinking his juice , inside the stadium it was so hot we felt like we were melting 

Christopher wanted to try out his Poncho, you can never be to careful in the splashzone!!!!!

Think mummy was just as excited as the boys, after all it was the new exciting shamu show!!!

Benjamin and daddy were taking part in the whale quiz on the giant screens 

The music started up and the gates open here come the whales 

Next we headed off to Wild Arctic just to cool off from the heat it was also ideal for the boys as its all enclosed with lots of areas for them to run around .
They didnt care too much about the 15 minute video before and made lots of noise , obviously annoying a few people!!!

Looking in at the polar bear, it was asleep, but when it yawned and moved its paw the boys got very excited 

One of the Ice caves, they loved crawling and climbing through this 

Lunch break , Sat chilling with the view of the fountains 

I think Anderson was thinking of when he can train the whales 

Christopher loved it at Seaworld 

Benjamin had just finished his Banana, ready to explore further now 

Christopher Feeding the stingrays with shrimp 

One of them jumped up at him and splashed him 

Anderson and Benjamin missed out they fell asleep, I think the heat wiped them out 

Next was the Dolphin pool, Christopher loved the dolphins with lots of Oooo's and Wows's!!!!!!!

They came really close 

Everytime they came past he waved at them 

Christopher and mummy trying to touch the dolphins 

one splashed them as they went by

Next we went to the underwater viewing area Anderson and Benjamin still asleep

Christopher giving mummy a kiss 

Waiting for the dolphins to come , I think we all would have loved to jump into that nice cold water 

Then 5-6 dolphins all came at once swimming around where Christopher was standing 

I think Christopher wanted to join in their game 

Look "fish" as he pointed at them

The Dolphins really put on a show for him 

These 2 must have seen mummy and Christopher kiss earlier 

The Dolphins were just as interested in Christopher as he was of them

I think he wanted to take one home and put it in daddy's empty fish tank 

Wow!!!!!!!!! everytime one swam by

Next show was pets Ahoy full of Dogs, Cats , Birds, Pigs and  Mice.
 Anderson Loved it, shouting out all the animal noises 

Clapping at the dogs tricks 

All 3 loved the show, it kept their attention for the full 25 minutes 

After 7 hours of Seaworld the rains came , so it was time for us to leave , Next stop Downtown Disney 

Benjamin saying Cheese for the Camera 

Christopher never took a nap during the day so it finally caught up with him.

What a Great day it was, Vanessa and myself never stopped laughing at all the expression and coments they were making throughout the day.
Although we sat in the splash zone at each show, the water missed us everytime!!!!!! not what you want on such a hot day.
I think the pets Ahoy show was their favorite but they also loved Shamu and the Clyde and Seymour show.
