Sea World

Yesterday we went to Sea World. We started out the day checking out the dolphins. Mason loved to watch them swim. He was even close enough that he got splashed when the dolphins swam by.

Can you tell by his face that he didn't want to stop for a picture?

Then we walked through the aquariums. All of the fish were so colorful. Some were HUGE! Mason loved them all, of course. Then we went to the tide pool. I wouldn't touch the starfish but Kristin picked one up so Mason could see it. He thought it was pretty cool but I had to watch him close because he would start to squeeze the poor fish.

We spent a little time in the Sesame Street area. There are a few little rides. Mason was so excited until the ride started moving, then he cried.

Mason really loved the polar bears and penguins. He kept roaring at the bear and trying to clim through the glass.

Doesn't Mason look so big in this picture?

Of course we had to let Mason have a little treat. He eats like we never give him anything sweet.

Finally, we had to check out the Shamu show. It is not nearly as exciting when they can't get in the water but Mason still pointed and clapped when Shamu did tricks. There is the one cheesy part of the show where they get the whole crowd cheering for Shamu as he splashes the crowd. They have everyone put their arms up and clap. Well, Mason was getting into the arm waving and clapping until he saw that we were watching him and then he stopped.

Sea World was so fun. I am glad we had the chance to go. Mason absolutely loved it and we loved watching him get into it.
