Sea Life Park

June 14, 2014

The USO put on an event at Sea Life Park, and I decided to brave the day with all three boys on my own.  It was hot and we had to park down the street and take a shuttle over.  Just waiting for the shuttle took what felt like a long time.  

There is a shark tank that we walked through first.  Boys sat for a picture, but you can't see the sharks.  There were hammerheads and a white tipped shark.  Very cool.  

There was a green sea turtle habitat.  The boys got cups of veggies to feed to them.  What fun to watch!

The view from Dolphin Lagoon was super fun.  

One of the trainers was setting up to clean the tail of one of the dolphins.  I could have sat there all day watching them train and swim.

Pretty neat right?!

Somehow I managed to snap this picture of this dolphin doing a big jump.  I didn't even realize I had gotten the shot till I got home.  It all happened so fast, lol.  

Sea Life Park has at least 3 different kinds of dolphins that we noted, which was cool for the boys to see.  This adventure was one in which I realized that Jackson either does not like theme parks or crowds or hot days or all of those.  He is not a people or animal watcher.  He wants to get in there, get through all the seeing of the attractions and then play at the playground.  Max, on the other hand, loves all that stuff.  He could have sat with me watching the dolphins for hours.  He never once asked to go home.  He still likes to play at the playground, but he seems to love the wonder of all God's creations and likes to be still and take it all in.  Overall, it was a fun day, albeit a long one!!
