Sea World!

We returned late Sunday night, actually it was very early on Monday morning, from an eight day trip to Florida. We had an absolute blast and the boys were perfect angels the entire time! We left on a Sunday and drove to Orlando, arriving late in the evening. We got a hotel room not too far from Sea World with plans to head there first thing in the morning. Drew gathered as many brochures from the lobby as he could carry and enjoyed browsing through them in the hotel bed. George ran out and picked up dinner and a six pack of beer (love my hubby!) since we decided it was too late to drag the boys out to eat. We slept in a little later than intended but were at the park by 10:30. We all had a great time! Sea World has always been a favorite of mine and it seems that the boys have followed suit. The weather was nice, not too hot and not too cold. We did get stuck in the dolphin exhibit for a while during a rain storm but other than that it was a perfect day. I will let the many, many pictures below tell the rest of the story of our trip to Sea World...

Drew helps with our bags! We were not traveling light!

Arriving at the park. Drew had his map and was headed for the first show!

Racing to see the dolphin/whale show.

Waiting for it to start.

Moving on to the Shamu Show. We had great seats at all of the shows, close enough to see every little thing but high enough to avoid the soak zone!

David was mesmerized by the entertainment!

Stopping for a quick pic.

A nice lady offered to take a picture of all four of us. It was a good thing because this is the only family photo we took in all eight days!

Checking out the sharks, one of Drew's favorite exhibits. I wish you could hear him! His narration is priceless.

Posing in front of the manatees, one of my favs!

Cutie!

This is where we spent over half an hour. We were watching the dolphins when the heavy rain came so we stuck around until it tapered off. A lady doing the same thing gave Drew a penguin stuffed animal that she had won minutes earlier. It was very sweet and made Drew's day. She kept watching Drew and smiling at him and then approached me to ask if she could give him the penguin. The penguin has now joined platty and sheepy making it the third lovey.

Petting the stingrays, another big hit!

Drew doing his flamingo impression! This was completely his idea and totally cracked us up!

Being a polar bear! David fell asleep in the stroller right before we went to the Arctic exhibit and strollers weren't allowed so Drew and I did this section by ourselves.

Still smiling while heading to the car after a fun-filled day!

We drove to Ft Myers Beach on Monday night after Sea World. Pictures from that portion of our trip to come.
