Sea World

We thought it would be fun to go back to Sea World with my brother and his family again, so we coordinated with their schedule and met there on Tuesday.

Monday at about noon I was diagnosed with strep for the third time this year. I was pretty miserable on the drive over Monday, but the doc gave me some awesome drugs and I felt almost normal on Tuesday.

We got there first and went straight to the dolphin cove and bought some fish to feed to the dolphins.




Once we met up with Robert, we headed to the dolphin/beluga whale show. Danielle was a fan.








After that, we hit up the kiddie coaster ("Shamu Express") which all the kiddos enjoyed. This shot has Doug & Bradley in the first seat, Gracie & Grace in the second and Jennifer & Robbie in the third.


Robert and I watched and took pics with Sophie and the babies. Sophie was giving lots of love to her daddy.

G & G coined themselves "Best Cousins" this week. :)

"The Shamu Show"

Sleeping Phillip.

Sleeping Danielle. She slept for about 2 hours!

B, G & G were all tall enough for this ride, so Doug took them on it.

They got to ride it three times in a row without getting off. G said "Mom, We're SOAKED!" (Luckily, it was quite warm and they weren't uncomfortable with wet clothes.)

Alligators!

Grace decided she wanted to ride the Steel Eel, so Robert and I went on it with her. The others hung out at the bottom of the dip to watch us.

We're in the second car. Robert and Grace in the front seat and me in the second (with my hands up!). You can't see Grace in any of the pictures b/c she was laying on Robert in fear. After riding she said "I'll never ride that again!".

Posing with the whale on the way out.

Believe it or not, this was the best shot of all 5 kiddos. ;)

We had a great time. Our family bought a season pass, so we plan to go back again later this year.
