SeaWorld San Diego

Yesterday we took a day trip to San Diego. It's a three hour drive from our house. We had a great time at Sea World. It was so much fun. We visited the shark encounter house. After seeing them swim around, you go downstairs and walk through a tunnel. The tunnel runs through the shark tank so there are sharks swimming above and around you. It is really neat. Then we saw the Sea Lion and Otter show. It was rather funny. They did all these skits based on reality television shows. It is amazing how brilliant these animals are. The boys really enjoyed this show. I attached a little clip of one of the skits.

Next we headed over to feed the dolphins and watch the Dolphin Experience. Afterward we had lunch outside. After Scott got up, about 20 birds flew down and attacked our table for the food. It startled me but Harrison thought it was part of the fun in the day. There were wings hitting him in the face and he was cracking up laughing and grabbing the birds. After I let him out of his highchair, he was chasing the birds showing me which ones hits him. It was rather cute. After lunch we walked around visiting the sea turtles, salt water aquariums and star fish island. Then off to see Shamu. This show, "Believe", was amazing. I gotta give it up to the trainers swimming and doing tricks with these killer whales. Flying through the air and all. The whales were funny splashing the audience and doing tricks. The boys were exhausted at this point but they loved it. After the show, we tried to fit a lot in before the park closed. We headed over to the Arctic to see the Polar Bears, Beluga Whales, Walrus and Penguins. Oh and we got to see some Clydesdale Horses. Then we played in Sesame Street land and rode rides. Then it was time for the nice drive home. Everyone slept well last night but now we are all getting sick.
I took so many pictures and couldn't decide which ones to post so I thought a slide show was in order :)
