After the tour we were hungry so ate at Sea Fire Grill! It was delicious and not that bad price wise for what you get. It was so nice to not eat disney food.
Then onto the big tower thing that turns. Don't you love my professional names for all these things! This thing took forever it seemed while standing in line. Of course once on it time flew.
It was really nice to see everything from so high up. It had been closed earlier in the day due to the winds so glad we got a chance to go up.
Dallas had been asking to go on the water ride. So over that way we went.
There was no wait and it was alot of fun. It is the first time I have ever been on it. Of couse the people squirting water at the end ruin the ride. It wasn't a hot day by any means and by then it was starting to cool off and was later. Atleast it wasn't nearly as bad as the one at US IOA. That thing soaks you at the end!
Lin and Dallas went again and I took pictures.
They are the last ones in this boat.
Dallas has wanted to buy a penguin all day so we went back by for him to pick out what he wanted. Thank goodness he is a pretty good kid and doesn't ask for much and I knew he would love the penguin. It also was fairly cheap.
We went back in to look at the penguins again.
Seen enough penguins yet?
We were headed at this point over to the kids area of the park. We went via the back past the clydesdales. Dallas could have cared less about petting one so we just walked through. Lin decided he would have a beer. I can't really complain. He has maybe 3 a year! I was disappointed to find out they were no longer free but for $2 it made him happy and will keep him satisfied for the next 9 months! Dallas and I shared a pudding and he wanted picture taken by the waterfall.
The we continued over to the kiddie area and hit the rollercoaster first.
Then of course Dallas wanted to go in the HUGE climbing thing so silly me agreed to go! I was darn tired and worn out and we weren't in the thing longer then 10 minutes. I wish somehow the area was fenced in so there was only one entrance and one exit, not into the play structure but into the area. There is no way that he can just go alone. Sorry no pictures. Lin took that time to nap at a table.
On to another ride.
There were quite a few more rides in there and it seemed really nice. Dallas didn't want to ride them until it was time to leave. He chose climbing instead. I really wanted to see the polar bears since last trip we skipped them. Of course it was years ago, but still.
We zipped over because the last Shamu show was at 5:30. There were only 2 all day and it was 5 as it was.
We watched the movie, the non cool one because the other line was too long and then zipped through the displays. Literally just stopped long enough to find the animals. I wasn't impressed with the polar bears but hard when I am comparing it to the San Diego Zoo (although I was not impressed overall with that). It just seemed so dark.
We thought the Shamu show would be crowded but we were totally wrong! It was about 1/2 full. We went to the top again, our favorite spot!
Now, I have decided that not feeling so great must have made me off because I was less then impressed with this show too! Don't get me wrong, I loved our day at Sea World and it was my favorite day but the show was just not that great. Last time they didn't have a show because they had just had a baby which seems to be the story of my life.
Anyways, we had a great day and LOVED it!
Here is a picture of Dallas with all his penguins tucked in.
