Brock has been anticipating this part of our trip for months! For a kid whose favorite show is Free Willy, you better believe that this was the Big Daddy of them all for him! The look on his face was absolutely priceless when he first saw the killer whales. Oh how I wish I could keep him just like this!
We headed straight to the Shamu show to make sure we got good seats in the splash zone. Brock wanted to make sure we were going to get wet. I for one was not really looking forward to that part, but it ended up being the perfect combo. Trent and Brock got soaked and me and Jaida we just sprinkled, I really couldn't have planned it better. Pierce was somewhere in between, but everyone left happy!
The kids had a great time seeing all the exhibits and we reported no major melt-downs and that is pretty amazing after a really hot day of walking and walking and walking! We stopped for lunch of Chicken Nuggets and fries, yes they cost a small fortune, but every little morsel was savored. Upon completing our meal, the table next to us was filled with Sea World executives. One came up to us and asked how our meal was. We said great! Then Brock Chimed in with," My name is Brock, we came here for my Birthday all the way from Maryland." The guy was completely shocked. Yes, Brock tends to do that to people, shock them! After he had a good laugh he went and got all the kids a free churro and wished him a Happy Birthday. (In case you were wondering it wasn't quite his Birthday, but it was what he had asked for!)
The kids all got to pick out a souvenir from Sea World. Pierce and Brock both picked out mood necklaces with killer whales and dolphins on them. Jaida went with a more stylish move and got these cute flip flops. What can I say this girl loves pink and Shoes!
After Sea World Jaida and I crashed at the hotel. Pierce and Brock on the other hand had a burst of energy and decided that they needed to take a dip in the pool. I guess after watching all the other sea creatures swimming around all day they needed to test the waters themselves. Our hotel there was awesome and had the most kid-friendly pool I have ever seen. Our kids just couldn't get enough!
