At the end of September most of my family went down to California for a vacation. Our first activity was Sea World, many of my family members hadn't been there in years, so it was a a huge hit!
(Dad, Grandma and JoAnn)
My Grandma was in awe of being so close to a killer whale and couldn't get enough of it!
(Mike)
We got to the park in time to pet the dolphins! Most of us just watched because the dolphins have to swim up to you if you want to pet them (and they really weren't cooperating...) But Mike was able to summon one to him!
(David)
We also fed the Sea Lions, we each got a dead fish and then got to pick the Sea Lion that appealed to us (you can see one is trying to get Davids attention) and then you threw it at them.
(Helena)
Some of the sea Lions would do tricks with the fish if they caught it (maybe that is where Helena got the idea!), others would make a lot of noise to try to get you to notice them.
(Dave)
Dave didn't seem to impressed with his fish, though he did have fun throwing it. (He is wearing two pairs of sunglasses, that is why it looks like he has silver/white eyebrows!)
(Mike, Chantle and David)
This is in the moving platform that takes you through the shark tank.
(Grandma, Dad, JoAnn and Helena)
Grandma thought it was so cool to have the sharks swimming all around you (though I think it freaked her out a little!)
(Dave and Amber)
On the moving platform going though the sharks.
(Dave)
We watched all the shows Sea World had, and by the end all of us were getting a little burnt (I forgot to bring the suntan lotion...) and this was Dave's solution to save his burning neck (it worked)! I think the guys sitting next to Dave is a little envious of his idea...
(Shamu)
We had a great time at Sea World and even though we got a little fried, it was well worth it.
