Vacation Day 4 - Sea World!

Sea World is one amazing place, and even though we have been there several times (Chad has probably been more times than I can count, think it was my fourth time, Kyan's third, and Lola's first), it never gets old. To see the animals that close is amazing, and to have the opportunity to touch them is even better!

Kyan was very concerned that he was going to get wet (no splash zone for us - thank God), and had a few freak outs, but in the end loved both shows we went to see (Dolphins and Shamu). While waiting for the Dolphin show to begin, a lady from Sea World actually asked if Kyan wanted to be the little kid that was part of the show! I was so excited for him, but Kyan is SO shy and very sensitive that he wanted no part! Bummer! We still enjoyed the show!


Feeding the Sea Lions



The Dolphin Show



After the Dolphin show we headed to Busch Gardens to eat lunch and see the horses!

Jearel and Sue

Susie and I

The reason we were able to catch a few adult photos - the babies fell asleep right after lunch!


We stopped to let Kyan play a few games while the girls were asleep! He won a little Kenny doll on the last game!


Chad and I - oh how he loves to take pictures! I made him anyway!


The Sky Ride: Jearel, Chad, and Kyan went on it! The girls were still sleeping!


Feeding the Bat Rays

Shamu Show


Feeling the Starfish




The Dolphin tank - unfortunately they weren't doing any dolphin feedings the day we were there, so the dolphins didn't swim as close to the edge as they normally do. So no dolphin feeling for us!



Roseland family photo take 8?


Garrett family

Chad and Jearel went on Atlantis while Kyan and I blasted people as soon as they hit the bottom! Somehow we totally missed them and they escaped our water bomb!

Kyan getting his snake painted on his arm instead of the usual where they do the face! A great way to end our day!

VERY Cute dress you're wearing- new, I presume? : )
I love the picture of Jayla & Lola together looking at the aquarium & the one of them reaching for the water.
Nice opportunity to capture some Rosie Fam photos too!
It looks like you had such a fun time.

I love this batch of photos.

Going to SeaWorld with Brion, Chad and my dad is one of my favorite childhood memories.

I recall Chad and I putting ice in the hot tub because it was too hot for us. We were probably 7&8?

Candis - NOT a new dress! That is my TJ Maxx special!

Brooks - told Chad that story about the ice in the hot tub, he doesn't remember?! Think he probably does, he was just too focused on WOW! HA! Saw your dad yesterday, and will see him today, he is taking Brion's pool table! Hope job hunting is going good!
