Sea World Part II

Wow...it seems I am getting less and less time lately to update things in here. Chad and they boys left me all alone last night (yes, I was very sad about that...) and went off to the annual Fathers and Sons camp out...so I thought that while I am waiting for the dirt with boys attached to get home, I would update this blog.

Here are some more pictures from SeaWorld...


Me, Chris and Josh on the rapids ride (Ben wasn't tall enough...he was not happy about that either!)

To console Ben about not being able to go on the ride, Chad supplied him with unlimited quarters to spray us as we went by...Ben's a good aim!


The Steel Eel...a HUGE roller coaster...this picture doesn't do it justice. Chris loved it and dragged me (okay I went willingly..I love roller coasters) and Chad on it several times!






Atlantis is another ride there (videos coming). When it "splashes" down, anyone standing close to the rail watching gets drenched...Chris, who refused to stay dry, loved every minute of it!



Here comes the water...




Yikes! That's some spray!!



Chris is in that wall of water somewhere!!




Wet and happy!




Here we are...pretty much the last to leave, the parking lot is empty and Chad thought he would lend a hand by holding up the Atlantis ride for them.

Three happy boys!


Ummm..where's our car?



Showing off their souvenirs

SeaWorld


Here are some more pictures from our trip.

We spent two days at SeaWorld...I love that place! The boys had a blast (so did the grown-ups). This Seaworld has a waterpark & roller coasters as well as the regular SeaWorld stuff..it was fun! I think all these pictures are going to be a couple of different posts...


Here are the boys feeding the dolphins...they LOVED this!



Meeting Shamu at the entrance

We discovered that Ben is a roller coaster nut like his brother...he loved this ride and was very upset that he wasn't tall enough to go on the other roller coasters. He would lift up his arms and and yell during the ride and then get off and say "That was AWESOME! Let's go again!"


The Shamu Show....we love it!


Here is Shamu splashing the audience...Chris went over to get the full effect of the spray (I don't think Chris was dry at all for our whole 2 days there).



Whew...that was close....I was so busy trying to get a picture of Chris getting wet, I didn't realize how close I came (and my camera) to getting wet!



Chris...wet and happy after Shamu


This was the dolphin and Beluga show...it was my favorite. They had the dolphins and beluga and also aerialists and acrobats...it was great!


This guys would get this swinging (I have video I'll upload later) and then go flying off!
I love dolphins!
