SeaWorld!!!!

Here is a little snippet of our trip to SeaWorld. This trip was a little bittersweet. It was the first real vacation we have taken Colter on that was focused just around him, and also the last vacation we will go on as a family of three. Only a three day trip, but a lifetime of memories....

On our way to SeaWorld and Colter's favorite breakfast....donuts!

This picture proves that I was really on this trip. At 7 1/2 months pregnant you tend to stay behind the lens, not in front of it...

This was as close as Colter would get to Shamu...better than I thought he would do, since he was traumatized by Santa last Christmas.

Daddy and Colter posing in front of "Jack-O-Lantern's" house

Feeding the flamingos...

Waiting for Shamu...

Mesmerized by Shamu!

The sea lion and walrus show...pretty funny!

My boys!

"The Shamu Story"

Loving the penguins!

Colter discovering his first churro, or as he called it "the crunchy thing."

Oh....and there is another churro!

Mmmm......sugar sugar sugar!

The HUGE walrus at one of the shows!

Alligator Alley

Colter's very first roller coaster ride! You can just barely see the top of his head, but you can't miss Chad's excitement!

Slurp! I think he loved this cup as much as being at SeaWorld.

The dolphin smiling at Colter or maybe he was begging for more food?

"Azul" my favorite SeaWorld show

More "Azul."

Watching "Azul" from Daddy's lap.

Colter was very excited to see the sharks. Even before we had seen the exhibit I asked him what was his favorite thing to see so far and he said "sharks!"

Day two on the roller coaster! Chad was a very proud Daddy that his son loved the roller coaster as much as he did.

A sea lion begging for some fish. Feeding the sea lions and seals were my favorite thing to do. They had the funniest little personalities and ways of getting your attention.

My favorite seal! He would just look up at us with the saddest eyes like he hadn't eaten in days, but was the fattest one there. A little lesson I learned at SeaWorld from one of the trainers.....seals are spotted and can't "bark" so they slap their fin in the water. Seals are solid colored and can "bark." And who says you can't learn anything at an amusement park??

Sweet baby sea lion sleeping....

This picture is titled "Spoiled Rotten by Daddy." They came out of the store with the biggest Shamu they had....

Feeding the dolphins...what a neat experience! This dolphin was so gentle when taking the fish out of Colter's hand it had me amazed.

Colter the "Dolphin Whisperer"

NO LIE....this dolphin came over to Colter and rolled over on his back, so Colter could rub his belly!

Love Colter's expression as we were leaving SeaWorld.
