1st Shamu Sighting

 

 
We went to Sea World on Monday and headed straight to the orkas.  It was love at first sight for Lilly.
 



The girls were in heaven...both of them jumping up and down.  This was a favorite moment for Steve and I, made the trip totally worth it.

petting the rays


We were checking out an otter and Amelia was playing and swinging on the bars in front of the exhibit.  She flipped over and hit her forehead right on a rock.  I panicked as blood started gushing and was a crazy person running through Sea World looking for 1st aide.  We found it and they were great, giving her band-aids, Tylenol and ice for her head. 

After catching a breath from the crash we rode the 250 ft tower spinning tower and saw all of Mission Bay.

Waiting for spinning starfish ride, Lil looks thrilled.

Flying eel ride, not one of Lilly's favorites.


Waiting for our 1st Shamu show.  Lil was so disappointed that we didn't get splashed.  She kept asking to go back so that "Shamu could splash her"

The pics of the girls with Shamu remind me of the trip when we were all little kids and went to California.
