shamu day 2

we started off day 2 at the park with all the fun -strikingly similar to the kiddy rides at disneyland minus the horrific lines- rides.

we split up for a bit while cole and daddy braved the ginormous netted jungle gym and ali and I headed for the bolted to the ground tunnels. I had the camera so that explains the lack of testosterone in the next few pictures.

she loved all this peek a boo business.



then we headed to the splash pad...which she was obsessed with.

she loved getting doused in the face and went back for more until we finally saw something else that caught her eye...

a giant microphone. is this my kid or what?

after she was done singing, we joined back up with the boys and headed for the dolphin pool.

we got there just as "play time" with basketballs began.

and I am obsessed with this picture.

we stayed there watching for quite a while...

and then it was off to the big boy rides.

cole and justin both loved this ride...particularly its 2 min wait. they kept getting off and going right back on.

then we asked cole what he wanted to see again from the day before and his answer was sharks! which we already knew was coming. they were definitely his favorite part of the whole sea world experience.

he was fascinated...and what was ali fascinated with? posing for her reflection.

after we left the shark exposure cole sat down outside and informed us he was staying the night with he sharks.

he really did love them. luckily grandpa sent him with some money to spring for a toy shark so he could take one with him instead of us having to leave him there.

and then it was time to head home.

once again we had a sleepy girl on our hands and this time they both conked out as soon as we got in the car.

I am so glad we got to go do this. and having unlimited days there really made it easy to relax and go with the flow, knowing we would be able to see it all.

thanks mom and dad, we can't wait to come back!
