Sea World!!

Grammy and Poppi came for a visit in mid-October. They took the kiddos to the pumpkin patch down the road and had a blast. They said Tag just kept walking around yelling "Pumpeeen!!!"
We had been planning a trip to Sea World for a couple of months, but we were really nervous about the weather. There were some big storms brewing. Our fearless meteorologist leader Daddy checked the hour-by-hour forecast on weather.com on Friday morning and it looked like it would clear up at Sea World about the time we could get down there after breakfast, so we went for it. We had coupons from Sonic of all places that gives us a 2nd visit free before early January, so we're hoping to get back down there again. I don't know how to say it other than it was the MOST PERFECTEST day ever to be at Sea World. Because of the weather that had passed through, it was cool but not cold and there were only a few other people there with us. We saw everything and then some.

Sharks:Clydesdale statue that Kinsey wanted to climb:
Feeding the dolphins - see the fish in his mouth? She threw that!
Viva (Dolphin/Beluga Whale Show):yea, there aren't any dolphin pics - the thing is, the dolphins don't really do much at Viva. it's mostly people in bright tight costumes flying through the air. kinda cool but not really much for the photo-op.

Shamu Kiddie Roller Coaster (see just below the second whale tail from the front):Southwest Mascot Penguins:Kinsey loved the cool colored pumpkins:Penguin Encounter:
Lorikeets:
FantaSea (some kind of strange walk-through thing):Shamu!!!!!Sea Lion & Otter Show (yes, that's a walrus doing a sit-up!):Sesame Street Halloween Show (who knew Elmo knew Shamu!):
Penguin Ride:
Mommy ride before the Great White roller-coaster (I love it but I hate it, you know??):It was an awesome time and we can't wait to go back! Big props to the Kedroskis who partied with T$ all day - we just knew he wouldn't sleep so well in a dolphin-stroller :)

That third shot of Tag with the pumpkins is too cute. You have two adorable kiddos, Darin.
