Sea World

One thing we did while in San Diego other than enjoy the beach was Sea World.

We had a fun time visiting Sea World.

Ella Jane was pumped for her day!  She's looking too cute for Sea World!

It was a fun day with this sweet girl!

The kids picked a clam to find a pearl.

We got a blue pearl and decided to make Kiersten a turtle necklace with it.  I forgot to take a picture of the necklace but it was pretty.  Expensive of course but pretty.

This is the kids going on the Atlantis ride.

Grant was thrilled that he was big enough to ride it.

Pretty fun ride.

One day I hope to swim with dolphins.  They are such beautiful animals!

We got stuck on the Manta ride for about 15 minutes.  Made for a good story.

Logan balled that he didn't want to go on this ride.  We eventually forced him to go and he LOVED it!  He rode it about 4 more times because he loved it so much.  Silly kid.........I knew he would love it.

Silvio and Kirsten were stuck on the ride with us.  we enjoyed talking to all the people down below waving at us as we sat stuck on the ride.

Grant was sure happy to find the "best" stuffed animal ever.  A momma turtle with her baby!

It was a pretty exhausting day for little Ella!

Waiting for the dolphin show to start.  It was pretty hot sitting up there in the bleachers.  After awhile Ella had enough of the direct heat.

Justin usually gets pooped on by a bird at Sea World but this trip he was spared :)

Look at those arm rolls.  What a pretty baby Ella is!

Watching the dolphins do their jumps and flips is pretty darn cool.

The Shamu show is a must.

Justin and I still remember when they use to let the trainers swim with the whales in the show.  Until one trainer was drowned by a whale.  It was a pretty impressive show back then.  

The kids all wanted to sit in the soak zone and so we did.  It got two thumbs up from Grant.  We all got wet and smelt a bit fishy but it was fun none the less!

It was a fun day at Sea World!
