SeaWorld

We spent two days at SeaWorld while in San Diego and we loved it there.  The place has a great mix of animals, interesting shows, and crazy rides.  I couldn’t believe how brave Andrew and Hailey were; they rode this one rollercoaster over and over!   We saw a fabulous dolphin show and also got a chance to feed and pet the dolphins.  We decided that we wanted to take one home with us! 



It was so awesome to spend several minutes right next to the dolphins while they were having a training session.  We were able to feed them, pet them, and watch them review their tricks.  We were so close!

Here we were able to pet the manta rays… eeewwww!

Drew really wanted to ride the gondola that goes over the SeaWorld park.  Here he is riding it with Daddy.


This was totally comical to me… but SeaWorld made a “SnowWorld” area for Xmas where they actually had real snow and kids could go sledding.  The girls did this for a few minutes and loved it.  But, um, sorry kids, we did not fly to sunny California so you could go sledding!


The first day we were at SeaWorld was Dec 24th, Christmas Eve.  The park had zero crowds, which was great.  We had such a great time exploring the park and then left at 5pm, changed into our church clothes in the parking lot (yes!) and headed to a great 6pm church service!  Now, that is cramming everything good into one day!  This is as we were leaving…
