Sea World

Our favorite thing we did while in San Diego was go to Sea World! Shortly after walking in the gate we found a psycho eyed penguin to get our picture taken with - Ross was happy! Immediately after we went to watch the big show with the dolphins and whales. It was much fun! We didn't sit in the splash zone. :)You can see one of the whales on the stage.Uncle Kev and Graham enjoying some time together.They found the car quickly after the show. Ross wanted to be the driver and luckily Graham didn't care either way. The best seat in the house again with Uncle Kevin. We watched the sea lions for a long time. You could buy fish to feed them. They were SO LOUD begging for the fish!We bought some and the little beggers were happy about that!The bird swooped in and got it right before the sea lion caught it.One of our favorite things was watching Shamu swim around in the big tank. Kev and Steven went to the Shamu show but the boys wouldn't have set well through that so we opted to go do some other things and this was one of them.(S)he would swim right up to the glass and the boys would squeal in delight!After seeing Shamu we went to the kid area to let the boys play and we ran into Bert and Ernie!So excited! While we were talking to them they said Elmo and friends were just around the corner. Yay!There was a line that I stood in so Ross and Daddy could walk around. Ross has definitely not developed any patience yet. He kept trying to sneak in! One time Elmo saw him and gave him a quick high-five and then Zoe blew him a kiss.Finally our turn! Big hugs from Elmo. They were buds by this point b/c Ross had been trying to sneak in for a while.Graham wasn't too excited to leave Mom's arms but Ross again was beyond thrilled!I wish I could have bottled up his excitement!Big buds with Cookie Monster too!They were having a side conversation while we were trying to take some pictures.We were starting to get nasty stares b/c Ross didn't want to leave so he got one last hug from everyone. I secretly think the gang didn't want us to leave either!Next was on to play! Showing off the skills he learned at Little Gym.The last thing was did was go to the Wild Arctic exhibit. Most of the animals weren't out but Ross was just excited about the ice wall. Cold hands! A baby Beluga. Last picture of the day. I love this one.
