Today we were off to Sea World. The first animal we visited was the penguins. They were very active and the kids enjoyed seeing the wide variety. Then it was off to the Arctic to visit the beluga whales, walruses and we had hoped for polar bears but they are visiting the Pittsburgh Zoo. Soon it was time to get to the Shamu stadium to wait for the One Ocean show. Last time we visited, we sat in the soak zone and got more than soaked. Anna and Mason were NOT happy about that and wanted nothing to do with that this time around. I sat with them and the bottom of the upper bleachers.
Olivier and Matt went to the soak zone because Olivier wanted to get wet. He didn't end up getting soaked but he got wet and that made him happy.
Anna really enjoyed the show and was standing almost the entire time.
After lunch back at the car, we went to Sesame Street place. The kids aren't quite tall enough to go on all the rides by themselves so we had to take turns. Here is Anna and Dad on Elmo's flying fish.
And Dad was a good sport going on Oscar's Eel.
As we went by Elmo and Grover, Mason and Olivier said they wanted their photo with them. It shocked me. Less shocking was Olivier changing his mind and getting scared. Mason went right up to Grover when it was his turn to give him a hug.
And look at that smile!
The shark encounter was a huge hit again. We went through twice (back to back, love that there are no lines). Then we went to touch the rays, and thankfully they were all able to touch one.
We ended the trip to Sea World with the Sea Lions Live show. They all agreed that it was their favorite. A huge surprise for us but great to see them enjoy something so much!
