Sea World

Christian and I had an adventure to Sea World with some of his best buddies from school and their Mommies. The Mommies had been planning this trip since mid summer, but picked a date we hoped would be cooler than the 100+ days we had been having. Boy were we right. The weather couldn't have been better.

Christian was patiently waiting for us to leave school after dropping off Archer.

Rocky had to say bye to his Grandma and we were off.



We had 2 cars full of excited boys and their very excited Mommies!



All the Buddies in Sea World Parking lot.


The boys were serious about studying up on the Sea World Map.

From Sea World with Buddies

Our first stop (after a bathroom break) was the Cannery Row Capers with the Walruses, sea lions and otters. It has always been one of my favorites.


Laura, Ethan buddy's Mom, had a special surprise for us. After the show we were able to go back stage for a behind the scenes face to face meeting with the stars of the show. Laura and one of the head trainers are old high school friends. This was my personal favorite part of our visit to sea world, getting to pet a sea lion.





Our next big stop was the boys 1st roller coaster ride. Each Mom rode with their little man. I have to say, I was very happy that Christian enjoyed the ride. Daddy and I are big roller coaster fans and it is nice to that he might be one too.





Alligator Alley

Sea World had great Halloween decorations all around the park. We tried really hard to get a great posed picture....Well with 4, 3 year old boys, that can be really hard.

Here are some of our attempts.



Then we took off to see another show. This one was Viva with black and white dolphins and beluga whales.




Then it was off for a little lunch break.


Then off to Penguins, then off to Shamu.

One of the buddies couldn't quite make it without a little nap. Mommy's lap will do.

But luckily he woke up in time to see Shamu.






After Shamu's show, a couple of us had to leave and head home. Some buddies were able to stick around for a little while longer.

The Buddies trip to Sea World was so much fun. It was one of those trips were hopefully the boys will have memories of the trip, but you know the Mommies have super special memories too.
