So on our 4th day we had a trip planned to go to SeaWorld. I have never been to a SeaWorld and Chris had been when he was younger. Well if you know anything about us we LOVE us some penguins. Always have, Always will. Unfortunately, SeaWorld Orlando is renovating their penguin exhibit so we knew ahead of time we would see no penguins :(
But we had a fantastic time anyway! We loved the dolphin and killer whale shows they were FANTASTIC. And hands down our favorite roller coaster of the WHOLE trip was the Manta. It was so great and such a surprise!
Opus thoroughly enjoyed his trip to SeaWorld. He wished he could see his fellow penguins, but he said watching the dolphins and taunting the sharks totally made the trip worthwhile.
Views from the dolphin show. It was so much fun and they all sorts of birds flying around during the show as well....and you all know how we love BIRDS!
Those birds literally flew close enough for us to touch several times! So awesome!
Headed over to see the Sting Rays.
Petting the sting rays.
Christopher's turn.
And we are off to the dolphins!
Then the manatees
My traveling buddies!
Gators!
Lunch time with Opus!
Riding the elevator to the top to see all of SeaWorld and parts of Orlando.
FLAMINGOS and other birds! Opus was chatting away with them!
Then off to the shark encounter!
Then some penguin mascots came by encouraging everyone to do the penguin walk...so Opus and I joined in!
I apparently did a good enough job that we got to take a picture with the only Penguins we saw that day!
Whale Show! So awesome to see these animals jump out of the water! AMAZING!
Break Dancing Whale! Check out that spin!
Little one showing off with mom and pop!
Splash Time
And off to the Arctic Expedition where we saw Polar Bears, Walrus', and Beluga Whales....
Then the sea lions. They were super active and this one sea lion kept scaring off the others! It was crazy and there were tons of birds there too. Check out this one getting all ruffled!
Then the seal/sea lion show....
and a Walrus!
And I will finish it off with my boys hanging out by the waterfall before leaving the park and this adorable sting ray that we ran into before riding the Manta! We can't wait to go back and see our little penguins!!
