Sea World

So I have been in California for a week now, and already got to go twice to Sea World. I'm so excited to have a pass to there. I haven't been to sea world since I was little. So much has changed. I'm working from a laptop, which I do not do very well with (cause I hate not having a mouse) so I am too tired to get everything to work with me. So the pictures are not all in order...
Here's us on the 2nd day... we meet up with my Aunt Pam and cousin Michelle and her kids. We had a blast.This was the 1st time... the dolphins are behind us, but you can't see them. I couldn't believe how beautiful this turtles spots were. Those of you who know me, know I LOVE turtles... so of course I have to put a picture of one in here.
This was at the Shamu show, and it was excellent! They are just MAGNIFICENT. It actually made me all teary eyed... I tried to control myself. But there is just something about animals that just get to me.

Only me and Trever were brave enough to sit in the splash zone! :) But I was glad cause I didn't want Lexee to get wet. So thanks shell and mom!I thought I did pretty good getting this dolphin. These girls are just too cute!!
Lexee made lots of new friends... the seals
the sea lions
the polar bears
Beluga whales
this walrus...
she was pretty funny with him...

She met some more animals like the otters, sharks, eels (ick), starfish, bat rays, and some others...

My favorite pictures of the day was Meeting "shamu" (I can't remember her real name)... Lexee missed her the first couple of times she swam by... But then Lexee spotted her... And couldn't get enough! They are just so amazing. We could have sat there all day and watched her swim around and around. I just love Sea World!! I'll be going 2 more times while on this trip!! so stoked!!

How fun! I LOVE those pics of Lexee with Shamu! I meant to reply to you a few weeks ago and let you know that unfortunately we aren't going to be able to make it down to Oceanside while you're there...we're going to be in NM with my family for my sister's HS graduation and my other sister's mission homecoming. Bummer! One of these days we'll have to meet up though.
