Saturday we all got up and headed to Sea World. We decided to buy season passes because once you include parking it was only going to cost $30 more as a family. We thought there was a good enough chance we would be back in the next 15 months to take the chance.
We started off at the Cannery Row Capers. It is the show with seals and an otter. It is pretty cheesy but entertaining.
Next we went to the beluga whale and dolphin show. They also had divers and acrobats but somehow I did not get photos of them. It is hard to watch the show and take photos all while nursing a baby.
We ate lunch and walked around the park some. We stopped at the penguins. Katherine does a great penguin impersonation that I need to get on video. You notice that she is on Sam's back. We are so glad that she is light weight so we can still carry her. Riding on the back is not her favorite thing but she was not doing a good job of staying close to us when she was walking on her own.
Our final show was to go see Shamu. The killer whales are pretty amazing and beautiful. It is hard to remember at times that they are actually killers. I don't think Katherine knows that word yet but we mainly called Shamu an Orca whale.
We went to pet the dolphins. They came right up to us even though we did not have any fish. Katherine tried so hard to pet them but her little arms just were not long enough. Sam got to pet them though.
In all Katherine did a great job. She enjoyed the shows and had a fun time. By the time we left she was exhausted and fell asleep before we left the parking log. Caroline did well too. She slept most of the time we were there.

I still haven't taken Ava to Sea Worls and she reminds me DAILY. I don't even know how she found out about the place, and Shamu. But she knows it's out there and she NEEDS to go.
BTW--Caroline is my kind of girl. She likes her naps! I'll babysit her anytime!!
i'm jealous of your recent travels--CS & sea world?? how fun! we wanted to go last week after we left houston but they aren't open on the weekdays right now. :( i hope to take the kids sometime soon. looks like so much fun!

We had season passes to Sea World when we lived in Texas, too. It's definitely worth it. It gives you an excuse to visit friends in the Hill Country, and there's so much to do at Sea World! I hope, at some point, you get to hand off the kids to each other and go ride the big kid roller coasters. There are some great ones there!
Great pics, Christy. Sea World is great for kids! Sophie really enjoyed the one in San Diego last summer - not even 1 1/2 years old! Maybe your season pass will be good for some parks out here (hint, hint)
