Hats At Sea World

I took the kids to Sea World last week. Preschool was cancelled on Monday so we headed down. The kids found all of Mike's hats and insisted that we all wear them. They were so cute walking around with their big hats on.

The ice wall.

 

 

Jaileigh really liked it.

 

 

Michael watched this walrus for about 10 minutes. He was so fascinated by it.

 

 

The walrus had about 10 fish that he would suck in his mouth and then spit back out. He did this over and over again for the whole 10 minutes. I think he was entertaining Michael.

 

Michael's face is so cute here.

 

 

The ice caves.

Lunch

 

 

The kids always fight over a spot in the stroller. This time I brought the double stroller thinking there would be less fighting. There wasn't! It was nice to have the storage space for water and their jackets but not worth the fighting headache.

 

Jaileigh ate lunch in the stroller so she wouldn't lose her spot.

There was a turtle video game that the kids tried to play. We aren't gamers at our house so the kids really didn't get how to play even though it was on a child's level. They were pretty funny.

The whole day Michael asked when it was going to be time for the dolphin show. Every 5 minutes he was bugging me. We sat down about 10 minutes before the show and he whined the whole wait. After watching it for 5 minutes he started bugging about when it was going to be over.

 

 

Naptime. . . .

 

 

Michael

 

 

That's a pilot whale (I think) on the stage.

 

 

After the show we got cotton candy and then headed home.

Gross!

 

The kids had a busy day! After sea world we had a ward (church) FHE (family home evening)- dinner in the park. They played with their friends way past bedtime. Tuesday was a cranky day for everyone!

I had the strangest experience right here. I lined the kids up to take a picture and non-English speaking lady communicated that she wanted her picture taken. I took her camera and she went over and posed with my kids. Strange!

 

 

A cute stinky penguin.

Our visit was pretty short because we had somewhere else to be. It was long enough to make me crazy though! Jaileigh was in the worst mood! She refused to let anyone sit in the stroller. Jake's feet hurt, Michael's feet hurt and Anthony wanted his tennis shoes on and not Michael's crocs. It was a shoe mess today! I made it back to the car with screaming kids and managed not to pull my hair out!
