Sea World

Today, I surprised Cam and Addie with a trip to Sea World. Jenn's parents were kind enough to pay for a trip to Sea World back in June when they visited, and paying for one day gives you a season pass, so it was free except for the parking and the gas to get there. Jenn stayed home with Bailey who was too chicken to go on roller coasters, Emery who is too small to go on anything good, and Joelle who is a little sick. I told them to be up in the morning to go shopping. As we pulled away from the house, I let them in on where we were going, and they got excited.

We got there about a half hour before the park opened. We speedwalked to our first rollercoaster of the day, The Steel Eel.



We went on it twice pretty quickly before all the other people showed up and clogged up the line.

We decided to try one of the water rides next, but that part of the park wasn't open for another half hour, so we went to the penguin exhibit. It was cool, but it's amazing how many penguins they cram into such a small habitat.

We went on the Rio Loco as soon as the clock struck 11. We got there well in advance of anyone else, so we were allowed to ride twice in a row without even getting back in line. Everyone got wet.





We went on the water flume ride, which was a long wait, made a big splash, didn't really get anyone wet, and wasn't worth the wait. We went on Rio Loco one more time and the kids decided they had had enough walking around, so we left.

On the way out, we posed with a Shamu statue, I guess Cam was pretty pissed off.
