SeaWorld San Diego!

This Memorial Day we decided to visit Sea World. My boys had never been and I had such a blast the 1st time I'd ever been. I even got a caricature done (something on my Bucket List). Anyway we live about 3 hours from San Diego so by the time we arrived it was just opening and the boys were already getting cranky. We first came to Sesame Street Bay of Play because it's nearest the entrance and the boys wanted to get on the Elmo ride.

Wish we could've gotten pictures of Talon but he was with me and as you can see I had the camera. They wanted to keep riding this ride but I talked them into seeing the animals. 

From there we ventured to Blue Horizons to see the Dolphins and the birds. It started at 10:30

The boys also saw a Turtle on the way to Pets Rule!

Pets Rule! show... It started at 11:30

By this time T was getting very grumpy. He was tired and it was hot. We all got sunburned but not too bad. I thought this show was really cute though and glad we got to see it. There were all sorts of animals from cats and dogs to birds, a pig, and ostriches. They had the olympics where two dogs raced through an obstacle course one at a time (a big one and a little one). They had to shimmy through the fire hydrants, duck under a plank and walk under it, jump through hoops and swim across the water. The little dog jumped in the boat but the big dog just jumped in and swam/walked/jumped across it. Then to top it off the pig came out and did it too!! Instead of jumping the hoops he barreled through them and went around the pool. Too cute.  

There was also a skit where this black dog had a date with the white one. He had to "clean up" the place and get it ready. He put something in the trash can by stepping on the lever at the bottom to open the lid, switched the radio on by jumping on the knob and pushing it to turn it, picked a bone from the fridge AND closed it again and even put the flower in his mouth to give to her when she arrived. So cute! I couldn't get enough.

From there we went to the Wild Arctic area to pass time until Shamu's show.

Afterwards we headed to One Ocean at Shamu Stadium. This show started at 1:00.

Where they were splashing everyone.

We decided after this show that the boys just weren't going to make it any longer and I was extremely bummed. I had so much planned and even wanted to get another caricature done of T. D already has one. If I could do this all over again I'd take a couple days or even get a hotel room although we live here. It was just too much in one day for my little guys.
