Sea World

Thursday we went to Sea World. I've been a couple of times but would often choose Sea World over a Zoo. The shows are fun, the animals are different, and you have the possiblity of cooling down with a big splash from Shamu and his friends.

And of course Drew wanted to sit in the splash zone. He said it was like taking a child to Anaheim and asking if they wanted to go to Disneyland. I should have known he wanted to get soaked. He even wore his flip flops and swim trunks. He never wears his flip flops.

In preparation for the soaking I took a before picture (as seen above left), planning to take an after picture as well. We came very close to Shamu and his killer whale friends and saw the show twice. 1. The show was good and 2. We didn't get wet at all the first time around.

In the mean time we did lots of fun things, like check out other shows and pet sea stars and stand in the park's "Photo Opportunity" areas provided by Fuji Film. That makes me laugh a little. We cooled off inside watching the polar bear and the penquins. The penquins actually became one of our favorite exhibits. We watched them eat and run and swim and fall into the water. We found out that Ethan was tutored on the art of running by a flock of penquins.

In the end there was no soaked picture. As many times as we sat in the soak zone, not once did we get wet. Thank goodness we didn't pay for a poncho!
