June 23, 2008 - Shamu, Shamu!

The last family day of our little vacation that could was Sea World. We went as early in the morning as we could possibly manage. We had Mom/Dad (cough, cough, sorry won't make it to work today),

Tiana/Ryan/Quinn,










and my cousin Meagan/her hubbie Tim, and Elizabeth,
John and Meghan weren't able to make it because of it being the first day of school for them at MSJCC, and of course us...
We saw Shamu and friends:















The tide pools, dolphin feeding

and shark encounter:
We also saw the Cirque de la Mer show which is just an amazing water acrobatics show












and Sea Lions Tonight . A hilarious, and should not be missed next time you visit Sea World, parody of all the show with sea lions, otters and one very large walrus:












We ended the night at the dolphin stadium and then Shamu Rocks! Unfortunately I don't have any pics because my little camera's flash couldn't fight off the dark, but needless to say we had a great time and Mena is practicing her swimming to become a Shamu trainer someday.

p.s. pics of Quinn and the starfish, and the Stroller Brigade are compliments of my lil' sis, Tiana's blog. Visit Tears and Rainbows for her version of the big trip.
