sea world!!! we used to go there every time we'd go to orlando on our disney trips. i haven't been since 1992. i wanna go back next trip for sure! i just love all the wildlife - i've always been into whales and dolphins. from the first time i saw these shows at sea world as a kid i told my parents i wanted to be a marine biologist. funny.....i ended up being a court reporter! my brother and sister used to get MAD at those shows if they didn't get wet. thanks for the good memories! can't wait to see more!

Can't wait to hear what the surprise in the morning is! And love the manatee pic with the boys hands on the glass looking up. Very cute!

I'm all caught up, don't know where I've been to miss the last updates. I always enjoy your tales, so keep them coming.

I guess everyone feels a little sad on thier last day. None of us ever accomplish everything we set out to do. You should just make a list for next time.

My goal on the next trip is to not be a commando and take my time. It's so hard to not want to do it all....

I love the beach, what a nice family pastime to look for shells.

I want to visit SeaWorld one day, 2 days for 1 is a great deal!

Awwww...I love Sea World!!! It is such a great place!! I hope you guys made time to go and watch the Seal and Otter show...its my favorite!! I love Clyde and Seymore!!!! Anyways...I'm so glad you are back!! I missed ya!!

Can't wait to hear more!!!!!!!

We've talked about taking one day to go to SeaWorld on this summer's trip, since we'll have ten days. We'll see if that happens or not.

I know that we will not be sitting in the splash zone!

When the girls are older, though, I'm sure they'll want to be right down there in the middle of it all just hoping to get drenched. That's one of those things you have to let kids do, and they'll remember it forever!

Your boys will look back on these pictures when they are big guys and it will be interesting to hear them talk about what they remember.

I love, love, love manatees. There is just something about them that make me all gooey eyed.

Sounds like a nice, relaxing day at Sea World. I'm really intrigued about the roller coaster now...

Those big ol' manatees are cute. I thought they would just sort of hang out there but they were more active than I thought (of course it was feeding time )

The Shamu show looks wicked cool. The the manatees are soooo cute! I wish we had them at the New England Aquarium...

I am also interested in the roller coaster story and the surprise for the boys!

The Shamu show was great. They have a nighttime version called Shamu ROCKS that's very upbeat and fun too

That is such a neat picture! The boys look like they are taking everything in. The manatees are so cute!

That is about one of my favorite pics. Something about how you can't see their faces but their body language tells so much.

Oh I love all of those photos! I really do need to get back to Seaworld! I remember my mum and I sitting in the splash zone and just looking like we had stepped out of the shower! I thought it was the greatest thing but she wasn't too pleased!

Patrick begged on this day to sit in the splash zone but we promised we would do it the next day. I was not prepared to get soaked on this day. you'll have to wait to see if we get wet...

How fun! I love hearing about Sea World, I really hope to take the kids in December!

I thought it lacked the Disney but there were some refreshing differences. The boys I think liked it equally to WDW

buggy together!


I had checked pockets and found like 3 1/2 crayons. I guess I should have looked a little harder for the missing 1/2 huh!

I put DH's cell phone through the wash too. And yes, he blamed me for not checking his pockets this was after it had survived a trip through the snowblower last winter!

They definately need a smilie that drinks and spits out coke, cause that's what I almost did when I read this!

I love, love, love your pictures of Sea World. I am embarrased to admit that I have been to Orlando 10 times (9 times at WDW) and I have not been to Sea world. I guess I really need to go! Hey - I just thought of something - if I go in June I can take Nobby! I wonder what Nobby would think og the splash zone!

I wonder how many kids leave thinking the same thing. I've said before, I'm a major science geek so I'm all for anything that gets kids excited about the world around them. That's what I liked about the Shamu show, the whales did neat tricks and all but there was a lot of education mixed in too.

Can't wait to hear what the surprise in the morning is! And love the manatee pic with the boys hands on the glass looking up. Very cute!

I figured I've been dragging this out long enough, I've got to keep a little suspense to keep you coming back!

Thanks for the compliment!

I was willing to pay the price for a 1 day ticket but the bonus day meant we got a little extra time.

Awwww...I love Sea World!!! It is such a great place!! I hope you guys made time to go and watch the Seal and Otter show...its my favorite!! I love Clyde and Seymore!!!! Anyways...I'm so glad you are back!! I missed ya!!

That was one of the shows we missed. The park is not big but there are so many shows you can fill a lot of time waiting if getting a good seat is important to you (and seeing Shamu more than once took up time too, especially when you have to get there early to sit in the splash zone!)

We've talked about taking one day to go to SeaWorld on this summer's trip, since we'll have ten days. We'll see if that happens or not.

I know that we will not be sitting in the splash zone!

You are right, getting splashed by Shamu is one of my few memories of going to SeaWorld as a kid. One piece of maybe helpful info, the second free day can be used anytime within a week of your first day. You could plan on visiting early in your 10 day trip and if you feel like it, head back for a bonus visit sometime later in your trip.

Now THAT would be a funny smilie!!!

I'm thinking a wet Nobby is a happy Nobby

I have no idea LOL...so I can't wait until you tell me LOL!!!!!!!!!!

 

[julezdisney]

Oh, it's killing me. I'm convinced it's Jo-Jo from Jo-Jo's Circus but you won't tellllllllllllllllll meeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee! Update! Update!

 

[kschafer]

Oh just for the fun of it (my fun that is ) I'm going to make you wait until the next update. Besides, I'm waiting to see what others think. Luckily the next update will be sometime later today.

But for your entertainment, I thought I would post some pics that really belong with the last update. I found these pics that Greg took on our first SeaWorld day. He was really into the flowers apparently

But he did take a couple puffin pics. They are so cute

 

[julezdisney]

You evil thing you

 

[MEK]

Katie -

I love your pictures (rather, you DH's) flower pictures. They are beautiful and so cheery cause the weather here s----ks!

 

[sunny_stace]

Oh those pics are great too! The flowers are gorgeous and I love puffins! I too have noooooooo idea whose foot that is! Could be Jojo....

 

[Lady Lallie]

I'm going to guess that the shoe belongs to some kind of character from Universal.
