Sea World

Instead of going shopping the day after Thanksgiving, we all were treated to Sea World by Grandmother. This was Will, Landon, Sarah and Brian's first visit. The trip couldn't have come at a better time for Will who is deeply fascinated with all things of the sea. We saw all the favorites; Shamu, the Dolphin Show and Will of course loved the sharks. Mommy even got to ride a new roller coaster at the park "The Manta". Daddy was happy to stay safely on the ground with the kids, while mommy rode the ride with Julie, Jeff, Myra, Kip and Uncle John. Mommy described it as the most "twisted" ride she has ever ridden and she has ridden a lot of roller coasters in her life. The ride is totally opposite from normal roller coasters, as you spend most of the ride face down in a horizontal position. Just picture flying through the air strapped to the belly of a Manta Ray. We had a great day at the park and are so thankful that we got to spend it with family.

Daddy, Will and Landon on the Jelly Fish ride. Mommy was glad to stay behind and take pictures as this ride is just like tea cups that spin.

The Shark Tunnel was Will's favorite at the park. We walked through a glass tunnel with sharks all around us.

This is the most beautiful horse!! Check out its feet.

The dolphin show was fantastic!!

The penguins were very fascinating to watch. They are pretty funny animals. Some of them would just stand around, while others would try to walk, slip on the ice, dive into the water and swim around. It reminds you of the movie Happy Feet.
