We got up and drove down to Sea World. As we drove up, we could see this Atlantis themed roller coaster. As soon as we got through the gate, the kids took off to ride it.
After we rode it, only getting slightly wet, we realized we were on the wrong side of the park if we wanted to see the One Ocean - Killer Whale show. We started heading that way, stopping to see things as we went. Alexis was the bravest when it came to touching starfish and other little creatures.
We stopped for a photo too.
We finally got to the show, eating churros while we waited for it to start. We loved the show.
Although we were in the splash zone, I thought we were high enough up to be safe, but the whale splashed us pretty good with his tail.
After the show we headed right over to the Blue Horizons Dolphin show - we didn't like it much. Then we went into some of the exhibits to see things like sharks, penguins, polar bears, and a huge walrus.
We went on a SkyRide and the rest of the family went on a raft ride where they were thoroughly drenched and froze the rest of the day. We also saw a funny sea lion show.
Later we split up, so Dave could take the girls on the Atlantis ride again. I took Seth to see the dolphin pool, where he got to throw a ring to the dolphins and they brought it back.
And we saw the whales swimming at an underwater observation deck.
Our favorite part of the day had been the Killer Whale show, so we went back to see the night show - Shamu Rocks! We were pretty cold and everyone else was still a little wet from the rides, so this time we totally stayed out of the splash zone.
It was a fun, but long day. Sea World was everyone but Seth's favorite part of the trip - He still thought Legoland was the best - crazy!
You guys had a fun filled trip. I love that Seth loved Legoland.
