Sea World for Mom A: Better Late Than Never:)

Waiting for the Whale and Dolphin show to begin…

I have found that plenty of snacks for kids while we wait is very helpful:)

 

These birds really are so gorgeous to see flying threw the air!

This is actually a small whale (or orca?)—Jared had to tell me—orcas (Shamu) are in the dolphin family, so this one is somewhere between dolphins and Shamu:)

James seems very interested

Marie DEFINITELY likes this! 

This is a wonderful picture—good job Jared

James jumped on this huge trampoline…I have video.  It was really fun to see him.         

SHAMU ROCKS!

This was the first time we’d gotten to see this…it was really fun.  We had gotten these special 3pm to close (which was 10pm) tickets for Jason, Maribel and James that were 1/2 price.  It was good “bang for the buck” in my opinion…I think Jason and family agreed:):)

So big in Susie news this night was it was when she learned how to clap!!!  Do you see her looking at my hands while sitting with Jason?

    Marie is ready to do “something” to her brother??!!     

Shamu really does Rock and this was such a fun atmosphere!

 

 

 

Uncle Jason bought the boys “light sabers” which were fun!!

And there she is CLAPPING…she kept clapping the rest of the night!

except for briefly when she was allowed to hold a light saber.

The Shamu Roller Coaster in “Shamu’s Happy Harbor” that Jason and James rode.

   They waited an extra turn or two so that they could ride in the front car:)

It was fun…they said.  I don’t think JJ will ride it before we move, so I will have to take their word for it;)

  All of the family pictures we took here were blurry except for the one above of Jason and family…hopefully we can get one before we move away from Sea World! ( As an aside, JJ started to become scared of the Manta roller coaster (which he used to love—I guess that happens when you go to Sea World over and over:) and he was “somewhat” of the little one too.  Then Jared had to take him away from the fireworks because he was petrified of the noise.  It was really sad as we couldn’t see them as a family:( )

We had a wonderful time with you Jason, Maribel, James and Marie at one of our favorite places here!  Thanks Mom and Dad A for making it possible!  We love you all!
