We spent all day Saturday at SeaWorld. In hindsight, I wish we would have come back to the hotel for naps and to get out of the heat for a few hours. Then, we probably could have stayed and watched the fireworks and the special evening shows. We didn't though, and left around 6:30.
However, we still had a great day!
Nicole took a picture of us.
We fed sea lions (the video shows us feeding them, but I can't post those on here).
We touched sting rays.

We went to a sea lion show and a dolphin/bird show. Let me just say that the dolphin show took my breath away! It was spectacular. Every little girl's dream. The trainers spent a lot of time in the water with the dolphins...even riding them on several occasions. There is just something beautiful and amazing to see a person interact like that with an animal like a dolphin.
We went back to the kid's area and rode more ride. Daddy took Nicole and Hannah up in the giant nets/tree house. These pictures are a little hard to see, but I wanted to share anyway. Jeremy ended up carrying Hannah a lot, and Nicole got "lost" a few times.

The kids played in the water area for a while too. Jeremy gave Nate a water bottle to play with. A few minutes later, a little boy took the water bottle from Nathan, filled it up, and then dumped it on Nate's head! It was funny.

We ended our trip to Sea World the way we started it...sort of. We went back to the Shamu show, however, this time we sat up high, beyond the soak zone and very much enjoyed watching these beasts swim through the water and fly through the air.
The trainers did not get into the water with the Killers Whales (about a year ago, a trainer was accidentally killed during a performance by a whale she was suppose to be riding).
Although people were not with them, they were still amazing to watch.
The can fly so high.
I don't know how they teach them all these tricks...it's amazing!
The girls got to pick something out from the souvenir store...they both picked out little Shamus (since then, Hannah has named hers "house". So, she'll say, "mommy, will you bring my house to me?" Kind of funny.)

We ended the night watching "Facing the Giants"

That's what vacation is all about, right?

In the picture of Jeremy Carrying Hannah it looks like he is wearing a big set of Mickey Mouse Ears, then I figured out it was the shoes of the person standing above him! Looks like you all had a great time.
