Sea World

I guess it's taking me longer between posts!

Yay for Sea Word! We got there early at opening and stayed till 8 but still didn't get to do everything. Crazy. I was especially sad we missed feeding the dolphins. By the time we got to it, it was closed :(.

Here are a few pics:


Ella posing outside the penguin exhibit. They are seroiusly much smaller than they apprear in Batman! So cute!

Yes! This Shamu show was so worth it! We got there a half hour early to make sure and get front and center seats in the SPASH zone. We were drenched and it felt soooo good. Amazing creatures, truly.


Nicholas and Aidan in Abby's Sea Star Spin. I can't believe Aidan remembered the name (just now).

Okay, so these flamingos were so interesting. Here is Ella (brave) while these flamingos go up and down the row of girls mostly sitting and "grooming" their hair! They do this with each othe as a bonding gesture. I felt really bonded when they did it to me!


This tortoise is only 9 years old and will live to be at least 75. It was having a feast with this grass here.


You can't see here but these are toucans.

If I could have a few wishes, one would be to swim with these beautiful animals.

I love this photo of Aidan with the beluga whale. They are so innocent looking and the white is so eye catching.


Not quite the same as Dumbo - Elmo's Flying Fish - but fun living it through our kids' eyes.
We will have to get back there soon!

My mom was once "kissed" by Shamu. She said it felt like a wet piece of ham. So if you have any need to be kissed by a whale, just head to the deli section...

You are thoughtful and care very deeply for your family. A loving home is of great importance to you and you always try to make people feel welcome. Although you have a great capacity to love, you also have a great capacity to hurt, so at times you can be sensitive. You're firm when you need to be, but people trust your judgment and appreciate the kind way you always handle things.

Playing Opposites

I have been discussing opposites with the kids lately. Today (Oct. 1 ) we were doing an opposites puzzle and Aidan was doing amazingly well (turned 3, 3 months ago). There was a picture of fire with the word "hot." Here's the conversation: Me - What's the opposite of hot? Aidan - warm. Me - Well, not quite. Okay, fire is hot. What is ice? Aidan - slippery! LOL :)

Aidan - "See, I can do opposites with my toes!" ??
