Christmas at Sea World - December 20th

First stop - the turtles. Pretty early here.

Next stop, the dolphins. The kids were heartbroken that there was no room to stand at the tank. Fortunately, we found an underwater tank where we could get within inches of them. Really neat.


An alligator. My kids are such Floridians - they are FASCINATED with alligators.
Waiting for Shamu.

Still waiting - this is a different whale. A Shamu impostor!

THIS is Shamu. I could not get over how HUGE he is! Those of you who have never seen the show. DO NOT sit in the "splash zone" rows unless you WANT to get wet. There's a solid 5 minutes devoted to soaking people. Like, Shamu's whole deal is flinging water at attendees. Janna told me she wants to be a whale trainer.

On one of the rides (we only got to ride one!)
With another Shamu impostor! The kids had a blast - and made it to 4 PM! I was really proud of them, and now we're all SO excited for Disney in January!
