Sea World

Harrison had the day off and he wanted to go to Sea World. It was a perfect day for it, mid 60's and sunny. I honestly was dreading going because a lot of the time when all the kids are out of school it is horrendously busy. Maybe it was that fear that kept everyone away because it wasn't bad at all. Add in the fact that both kids behaved and stayed with me and we had a really wonderful time. We (Harrison had his camera too) took tons of pictures so I posted quite a few.

This is the huge tree out front, Avery blends in but she is there too.

Waiting for the show to start. Avery and her first apple of the day.

Watching the oyster divers.

Pretending to swim with the penguins.

Lunch break. Which was perfect because we were sitting by the waterfront and there was a really cool fountain show in sync with Christmas music. It wasn't on the schedule so we were the only people there.


When did my babies turn into kids?

The kids getting on the Shamu coaster - this was huge because Harrison never wants to go on it. And not only did he ask to ride it, he had to sit alone because I was with Avery. He was terrified but I think he will attempt it again.


Taking pictures on the spinning jellyfish.

Harrison took this while we were waiting for the dolphin show (my personal favorite) to start. (And Avery and her apple - Avery doesn't go places without her apples)

And they both were so exhausted they fell asleep in the car on the way home
(I can't even remember the last time either of them slept in the car - or during the day for that matter)
