Family Fun at Sea World

This afternoon we went to Sea World for a few hours.  We saw the Sesame Street show in the Big Bay of Play when we first arrived.

The girls enjoyed the show, and it was only about 15 minutes long.

Afterwards we let the girls play for a while.  They climbed the ropes, crawled through tunnels, and ran across bridges.  We ran into Burt and Ernie on our way out of the Bay of Play.

We went to see the dolphins next.  The girls measured how tall they are against a baby dolphin.

One of the dolphins was very playful.  It was playing ball with the crowds, passing it around to different people along the wall.  We got to throw it back a few times and the girls were so excited whenever it came to us.

We all got a chance to pet the dolphins this time.  I didn't get great pictures because we were all crowded in, but it was such an awesome experience! 

We also went to pet the stingrays again, then saw the sea lion and otter show, but we were so far up, I didn't take any pictures.

We hung out and watched the Beluga whales for a while in the Wild Arctic.   Daddy and Eliza went on the magic motion ride while Audrey and I waited inside.

We went through the Animal Encounter area before heading out, the girls love touching the sea stars!

The ones here are much smaller than most of the ones in the big sea star pool on the other side of the park.  Its never crowded here though.

We had fun checking out some new things together, then went home to hang out.  Loving our family time on the weekends.
