Sea World

Yes, I know we've been back from vacation for two weeks - but I still have pictures to share....in my spare time - in addition to starting the school year, getting ready for Back to School Night and all the other fun day-to-day stuff...

The whole group minus Sarah who was taking the picture. Ayden had just gotten out of a time out, so he was just thrilled to be having his picture taken.Getting hands-on with the starfishesHelping Daddy decide where to go nextHanging out with the killer whalesAdmiring the beautiful sea turtlesNap time!We got a front-row view of feeding time for the magellanic penguinsAnneke with the cool acrobats from the Cirque showThis was the best sea lion show we'd ever seen - not really cheezy like they usually are - it was a take on Saturday Night LivedolphinsGetting some of his energy outGrandma loves the Clydesdales, so we had to wait in like to get a picture with DrummerRides!
Hanging out in the Kiddie play area
Ayden waited in line for more than 1/2 an hour to go in this bouncy area. Most of that time he was in line by himself because they had the kids get in a separate line from the parents. He was so patient, I couldn't believe it!He had fun bouncing for the whole two minutes that was his groups' turn. It was definitely not worth the time it took to wait in line, but oh well, he had a blast! He wanted to play with the "atar" he found in the arcade. Can you tell it was getting late - you can see the little pink cheeks and tell how tired he was here

Waiting for the late late Shamu Show (we brough along the Shamu that we bought him last time we were there so we wouldn't have to buy him another souvenir!)Mickey Mouse Clubhouse on Mommy's phone was a big hit to get him to sit still for the 45 minutes we had to wait before the show. He was so tired. At one point, he was all cuddled up on my lap and he said, "I'm going to sleep mommy, wake me up to see the fireworks" It was so cute! He didn't actually fall asleep, but he fell asleep almost instantly when we put him in the stroller to walk to the car after the showShamu (and someone else)
