Sea World Rocks!



On Wednesday we all went to Sea World in San Deigo. Ashley and I had been looking forward to it all month! Ashley walked around for over a week talking about seeing the orcas and feeding the dolphins. We spent all day there and it was a blast! We started the day feeding the dolphins, then went to the dolphin show. It was probably my favorite part!






The dolphins were amazing! they also had some Pilot Whales in the show. They had a little family volunteer to help with show, and the mom fell in the dolphin pool! Then she started riding the dolphin around the tank! Turns out -- she was actually a dolphin trainer posing as a tourist! It was hilarious! I TOTALLY got fooled!


Ashley and Gracie loved the show. Gracie kept yelling, "WOW!"


Our next stop was the Shamo show, "Believe." It was really cool, too. Austin, Matt, and Brandon sat down in the "Soak Zone" to get splashed by the killer whales. Don't they look tough?!




Austin was awesome with Ashley the whole day. They hung out together and pretended they were Dora and Deigo. It was really cute and really helpful for me.


Ashley was also really excited to see the sharks.

In the arctic part of the park, we saw penguins, beluga whales, and polar bears!

Don't they make cute little penguins?
