Day 8- Sea World

We got up pretty early and had a yummy breakfast in the hotel then we were off to"Feed the Dolphins"! The kids have been excited for today!

When Presley woke up I asked her "Do you want to go feed the dolphins today?" Presley said "Did you bring a mask?, I don't want to get the dolphins sick". Oh her reality is sad. She is such a sweet girl. Both of the kids slept pretty good and were feeling well the next day. My silent prayer of..."No fevers, no fevers" was heard again! 

Today was another beautiful day. The average temp this week has been 80 degrees. The day it rained it was 72 or something in the low 70's. I think we picked a great time to come to Florida before its too hot and not enjoyable or too cold to really want to swim.

As we walked into the park we saw "Shampoo", Shamu! 

He was so cure this the kids...holding their hands and danced with them!

The first stop was the dolphin show. We were just above the splash zone had great seats..thanks to the wish button! 

What a great show!

Then off to feed the dolphins. This was the most anticipated part of the day. The wish kids get to feed the dolphins and don't have to wait in line. They only let some many feedings happen a day and this is usually a long line and often you wait in line and then you are told you have to come back for another feeding time. Crew loved feeding the dolphins. Presley was not so sure about touching the fish to feed them but loved touching the dolphins and seeing them up close.

After feeding the dolphins we went to the kid area. Daddy took Presley on the rides and Crew and mommy did this. 

And then this! 

We then went to the see Shamu up close. This is not really a show but you can stand and see the dolphins do tricks! 

We then went to our last show wish was the Sea Lions. This was perfect for the kids. I didn't the whole picture but seeing the sea lions being so interactive was so cute. 

We grabbed lunch and saw a few of the aquariums. Then Paul and I took turns riding this

I didn't take these pictures but wanted to some a few pictures of the bigger rides that Paul and I did! This is the Manta. On this ride you fly face down in a horizontal "superman" position, hanging beneath the wingspan of the manta. This was was a screamer of a ride. The ride reached speeds of 65 mph with a combined drops of more than 3,000 feet. We always enjoyed doing some of the big kid rides...and of course the kids wanted to go! Crew would always tell us "tall nuff". He knew he had to be tall enough to ride some rides. It made him so sad when he couldn't. Poor buddy. He just didn't understand. But the amount of ice cream I hope made up for it!
