My Godmother was coming to town and my mom was retiring, so what better excuse to take a day off and celebrate than those two events! So where do you think we went? No, not Disneyland, we went to SEA WORLD!!!!
I love going to Sea World, and since Gigi was nice enough to take us Caiden, Kiya and I (no adult boys allowed!) joined Stephanie, Kyle, Lindsay and Karen and my mom to have a girl's day out with the kids.
Clockwise: Caiden, Kiya, Lindsay and Kyle

We had a great time. Of course we had to eat some Cotton Candy...I mean that is a MUST! We had to take some goofy pictures, and see some really cool animals.
Caiden and I sharing our favorite amusement park treat
Caiden and I couldn't help but be a little goofy
Beluga whales...so peaceful looking
This was inside the polar bear cave. Caiden was a bit apprehensive and this was the only picture I could get as he refused to stay in the cave (they had roaring bear sound effects)
I JUST missed the kodak moment...the walrus was starring at Caiden (but he put his head down) :(
This was us inside the Shark Encounter (see how calm we are)
It was cool that Caiden and I got a chance to feed some bat rays...well I should say I did, Caiden was not interested until all the fish was gone - THEN he wanted to feed them. He is so like me. :P
We had to take a moment out to eat, right?
Where we bought our overpriced meals...
Everything I couldn't eat.
All Caiden talked about was wanting to go see the Shamu show. Now this last Friday so it was HOT, HOT, HOT!! We lathered the kids with sunscreen and forced them to wear hats, and sat out in the hot sun without relief, that is until Shamu came and gave us relief in a tail full of water! Caiden wanted to sit in the splash zone and who am I to say no? Thankfully there was a nice lady sitting in front of us that had an extra poncho that we used to stay somewhat dry. I don't think that Caiden anticipated how wet he would get. He had a blast though. I put together a little video of the show.
Shamu jumps!

We had a great time, just look at these happy faces!

heather: You know in all of the times I have been to SW, I have not been on the Journey to Atlantis. We always have the kids, so...
Lots of fun. Thanks for posting all of these pictures so I can share in your special days.
Good times... I haven't been to Sea World in years!
