Grandkids and Sea World

That's right. Mimi and Pops are going to Sea World with the kids and grandkids. I am guessing Anna, almost 3, and Jake, 2 and 1/2, will eat it up. Avery, 1 year, will like it but be frustrated she can't walk and talk. Andrew, 6 months, will like the activity and see the big things. With six adults, I figure they still have us outnumbered. But it will be fun.

I love experiencing these things thru the eyes of children. They are overwhelmed, fascinated, enthralled, and awed. I love it. We will look, eat, visit, and worship together as a family. Can't wait.

We will be there Friday and Saturday. Some of you have already given some great suggestions about Sea World. Feel free tonite or tomorrow to share more.

See you next week.

We went last summer with a 4 year old and 18 month old...

The Shamu show isn't designed for very-young-kids, so pick a seat in the splash zone near the aisle. They will love it when the whale is doing something, but the times in-between will require some other type of entertainment.

Behind and to the left of the "Castaways Cafe" is the "Li'l Gators Lagoon." It is a wading pool with a soft bottom, and chairs in the shade for Pops to take a break on. There is only one rout in and out, so it is easy to keep-up with the kids.

Feed the dolphins first thing in the morning. No one else will be there!!

The Penguin Encounter is a great place to cool off indoors!

Bring lots of water and sunscreen.

Enjoy!
 
I know I talked to you this weekend and Nathaniel has given some great tips. I am glad to see someone else was not real impressed with the Shamu show.

Go on the kids time and all will be well. Don't forget the swim wear like we did!

Have fun and can't wait to see your pictures from the trip!
 
Take it slow and easy for two days - - - drink plenty of water. Just marvel at God's creation and the beauty he provides us inside and outside the gates of Sea World.

Ashlynn enjoyed the dolphins and the beluga whale show - - - a must see. Gwen, Ashlynn and I enjoyed Shamu the most - - - went two times!

Keep a hat on Steve. People may mistake you as a worker down there because you smile so much!

Have fun!
Pat
