Where is Shamu?

There she is!!!

Grandpa Dan and Nicholas. As you can see in the picture, Grandpa LOVED it. Nicholas, on the other hand, had mixed feelings.

Maybe not. Look at his expression in this picture! That was fun!

After lounging pool side all afternoon/evening yesterday, I am now fully recovered from visiting Sea World. We had so much fun going to Sea World with Grandpa Dan, Grandma Violet, and Tia Lala. The first thing we did was see Shamu! It was spectacular and beautiful. The boys were in awe when the killer whale jumped out of the water. I tried to get them to sit in the "splash zone", but they did not want any part of that. After the Shamu show we (my mom, sister, Joshua, and I) got in line to ride the Journey to Atlantis (part roller coater, part water ride with a breathtaking plunge). It was SO FUN! I still can not believe my Joshua went on it! Nicholas chose to sit this one out with grandpa Dan an Noah. However, they did stand in the "splash zone" when the ride came plummeting down.

After all the roller coaster rides, shows, and lunch, we headed to the Lost Lagoon water park. We spent the majority of our afternoon here. The water felt great. After all, it was only a mere 102 degrees out (gotta love the Texas heat) The boys (even Noah) had fun splashing around in the kiddie area. Nicholas LOVED Castaway Crusin' (like a lazy river) were we tubed along a water route. We went on this ride 3 times! Joshua, being the daredevil that he is, went on a water slide ride with Grandpa Dan, Tia Lala, and I.

After a long day, we headed back home. We had such a great time a Sea World. A big thank you to our Daddy for getting us in for free by serving our country ( "A Salute to Heroes" a military promotion) and Grandpa Dan and Grandma Violet for taking us!
