SHAMU

It was unanimous with our group, Shamu was everybodies 3rd favorite show. He came in 2nd for me though. The dolphin show was everybodies favorite, then the sea lion show, and finally Shamu. I however cried through the shamu show. They did a tribute to the military families, the make a wish foundation was there with a little girl, whose dream is to be a zoologist, so it was kinda moving.

Sea World is pretty expensive, but we all got in free for 7 days, because of the time share thing, but we only used wed and fri. If you ever go, you must see the main shows mid week, there were literally no lines anywhere, we just walked in to places and got great close up seats. We hit the smaller shows on Friday, and rode some rides. Nate and I were the only brave ones to take on Kraken (a big roller coaster). Friday the lines to the shows were long and I heard them saying to get there at least 45 min before the show starts, and then they would announce that it was full. I heard lots of complaining, and I was so thankful we had done all that on Wed. I must say that I loved seeing all the animals and had a blast touching everything that they would let you, but Nate was glad we didn't pay, because he thought of it more like a glorified zoo. He was happy that the kids and I were so happy, even Evan who didn't like to ride had a blast, because he is like his momma and loves the animals. The dog and cat show was pretty adorable.

Shamu was my favorite. Michael liked both that and the dolphin one. Don't get me wrong I LOVED the dolphin one. Shamu just got to me. I cried too.
The sea lion show was hilarious. The boys' favorite part was when the captain fell in the water and yelled, "I can't swim!" Thomas was doing a reenactment in the pool for us yest.
Glad that you enjoyed your vacation and glad that your back to the blogsphere. :)
Love, ADL
