San Diego: Sea World

I know it is October and we went in August, time is just flying by.  While on the West coast we went to Sea World.  We had so much fun and all the animals and shows were amazing.

We headed off to see some of the animals before the shows started.  The girls really enjoyed the penguins.

Next we went to see the whale and the polar bears.

Katie Lynn was checking out the prints in the ice.

Checking out the “turtle”

Daddy and Katie Lynn hanging out before a show.

We headed to see the show with the Killer Whales  The girls enjoyed watching them.

Our second show was the Blue Ocean, I think this was the girls favorite of the day.  There were dolphins, acrobats, flying, swimming, lots and lots of action.

Off to the next show….

as we arrived at this show, Karyn had fallen asleep.

It was warming up so we had a break to eat some ice cream.

As we started to walk there were some games for kids to play and win prizes.  It was 5 bucks for 2 tries, we figured each girl could get a try.  There were 3 levels of prizes.  You pulled from a set of about 40 strings and it would pull up a colored ball from the bucket, there were a lot of red for the smallest prize, a few blue for the middle prize and then about 3 yellow for the big prize.  You know how it works, they had cute little sesame street characters we figured, cool, they can each win something.  Well, Katie Lynn went first and she pulled her string…she pulled a yellow ball which was the biggest prize.  Awesome…Tom and I look at each other and think, great, Karyn is going to pull and win the small prize.  Yea, Karyn pulled her string and she had also pulled a yellow ball, so she won the biggest prize too!!!  So here the girls are with their prizes….they were excited.

Off to the next show, this was a comic show and the girls were laughing at the seal, walrus and otter.

At the end of the day we headed back to the penguin hut to get the girls a shirt.  Karyn was very tired at this point so she just dropped down right in the middle of the store, everyone was cracking up. She is so funny.

We made it back to the hotel.

We had dinner at the In-and-Out Burger in San Diego.  A couple opened up around us in Texas but we decided to try it out while we were in California.  Karyn decided she wanted to drink my soda.
