We went to Sea Life Park yesterday. We got local rates and the kids were free, so we were pleased. First we saw the aquarium; it had sting rays, all sorts of fish, eels that had there own tanks and pipes, and a tiny lobster.
Then we saw some huge turtles that were swimming in a shallow pool. We were so close to them we could have touched them. Of course the sign said not too. But one of them definitely paused for a good while and was checking us out; it was so cool. Then we saw the dolphins swimming around for a little while before the kids played on the parks' playground. After the girls had played for a while the Dolphin/Sea Lion/Penguin show was starting so we left the playground and watched the show. Julia insisted that the dolphins were sharks at first but I finally convinced her otherwise, I think it was just their top fin that threw her off. There was Reggae music playing; I guess Sarah really liked it because she stood up on one of the seats and was swaying her hips back and forth to the beat with a very satisfied look on her face. Dann and I were cracking up. I was laughing so hard that I started to tear up.
The show was awesome. The Trainers had the Sea lions walk through the front aisle so everyone could see them. They danced, waved, and saluted, they were adorable. They had the penguins do the same but they were just doing the cute penguin walk which was cute enough in itself. After that we were all pretty thirsty so we headed on home. Dann got ice cream and I got coconut shave ice with creme on top; it was delicious. The girls were already asleep so we didn't have to worry about them getting sugar highs. Anyway it was a good day.
