Not a great shot of the San Diego temple, but it was really cool to see it emerge right next to the freeway on our way to SeaWorld. Our view on the way back was more picture-worthy, but my camera was out of battery-life at that point. :(
Aviendha loved playing in the Elmo playground at SeaWorld. The yellow pipe behind her squirted water periodically. Attached to the ship behind her you can see a yellow ladder with a little fence under it...
Ninna insisted on trying to get inside that little fence for almost five loud and frustrating moments. She only gave it up because I redirected her to another area of the playground. Crazy kid; nothing inside it, but there was a gap so she just had to get through it!
Undoubtedly Aviendha's favorite part of the playground. There were three tunnels in a row that she could climb through, over and over and over. I wandered around with her here while Adam took the other three up and through the older kid climbing area--cargo nets, bridges, etc to explore! We skipped the three Seasame Street-themed rides on the other side of this area in favor of the dolphin show.
Check out the teeth! Gracie, Ginny, Sharra, Ninna, Sam and Mom after wandering through the shark encounter.
This guy was right up next to the window "talking" to everyone. Probably telling you he/she was ready for some more fish. You could pay $6 for three little fish to feed through some tubes further down in the wall. We just had fun laughing at him/her and his/her antics for the crowd.
Sam wanted to know what these two were doing. I said, "Just lying in the sun." Sharra corrected me with, "No, Mom... they're basking!"
Anywhere you were able to feed the animals, these guys were hanging around waiting to help relieve you of the expensive little treats! These birds, don't know their name, were not as aggressive aa the seagulls swooping around.
We got to pet and feed the rays. Ginny wouldn't touch them, but would touch the water.
Aviendha wouldn't even put her hand in the water once she saw these guys swimming toward her.
Sharra didn't want to feed them, but she follwed them back and forth along the wall to get a good touch of one. Success!
Sam was just as fascinated with them as Sharra. Uncle Stan bought a tray of fish for the kids to feed the rays with. You put the fish between two fingers and held your hand under water and wait. The rays would come right up and suck it out of your fingers. Uncle Stan held Sam's hand in place, but Sam was great and didn't drop the fish into the pool.
Ginny and Sam with Penguin Pete at SeaWorld. We had fun at Seaworld, but the price was a bit much. Not someplace that we'll try again. Even the Shamu show and dolphin show didn't make it worth it for me. We would much rather go to the Aquarium in L.A. again next time around. Thanks for the fun ice creams, though Grandma and Papa!
