CALIFORNIA TRIP - DAY THREE

Day Three - Oct 31st - SEA WORLD


After a late start, because we stopped to get our new camera and our car battery died....I was trying to entertain Katelynn with some movies while Kyle transferred pictures and charged our new camera's battery and I drained the car battery...Opps. We finally made it to Sea World. When I was growing up I always wanted to be a Marine Biologist and train dolphins or killer whales at Sea World so it goes without saying that I love Sea World. Well I am happy to say that at least one of my children feels the same way. Carson loves Sea World and says that if he can't be a pro ball player that he wants to be a trainer at Sea World. It was Halloween and so we had the kids wear their pumpkin t-shirts which came in handy when we lost Katelynn after the Shamu show. SCARY but thankfully short-lived. They were handing out candy at Sea World as well so the kids were able to add to their candy collection. There were also lots of marine characters walking around. Katelynn, Carson, and I sat in the soak zone during the Shamu show which was a lot of fun and pretty wet. We watched the Muppet 3-D show which was Katelynn's introduction to that type of show and she didn't know really want to think about it all. It scared her when the 3-D images looked like they were right in front of your face so she watched most of the show without the glasses. Kyle, Carson, Parker, and Ashleigh rode on the Shipwreck Reef ride while Katelynn, Max, and I played in the tide pools. We watched the dolphin show and the Clyde and Seamore show and walked through the penguin and shark exhibits. Max loved the Wild Artic ride. I rode Journey to Atlantis with Parker and Ashleigh and we had a blast...Ashleigh rode it again with Kyle and Carson, but Parker said he didn't want to ride it again because he was already cold and didn't want to get any wetter. Well as we were waiting for Ashleigh, Kyle, and Carson he stood right in the spot where you get soaked when the boat plummets down and he was dripping by the time they finished riding...He was having a great time!!! We let the kids play on the big playground they have there and then we headed back to our condo exhausted but very happy!!!!
