we LOVE LOVE LOVE SeaWorld!!!

Amber, Emmy and I at SEAWORLD (obviously)

Mom and I- we had fun and then Mom left early to get Josh

and Ems, Amber and I stayed and played until the park closed

and Shamu went to sleep.

yes- I said we stayed and played and PLAY we did :)

Emmy on her own baby whale!

ok- so I didn't even know this about myself- but, come to find out, I am a WHALE WHISPERER- for real- Shamu loves me and nods when I do and even did a twirl! seriously! Jason made a snide comment that it was because he wanted to eat me- we'll not even address statements like that. PS this isn't the killer killer whale- I suspect he is in his own "punishment" tank somewhere.

Amber and Emmy fed the dolphines-yes you read correctly- Emmy adored the dead fish that the dophins would soon eat- they were her friends- then the evil dolphin ate her friend- she HATES dolphins...

but... she LOVES manatees- of course she does.

She also loved the stingrays- as in she wanted to swim with them- really~

she would pet them and clap and distract us and then pull a "fake out"

and try to shimmy her way into the pool with them.

We also went to the Shark Encounter and ate at the Shark Reef restaurant-

Emmy fell asleep for the WHOLE meal- bless her!

multiple play moments :)

In the Happy Harbour there is a sea creature carosel-

I thought is was appropriate considering Emmy spends

more time in the water than she does on dry land!

there were also steel drums.

Emmy loved Auntie Amber's shamu bar- it was the highlight of the show for her :)

Emmy is a whale whisperer too!

she was so very excited about the whales :)

I just love this face- doesn't she look so proud to be at SeaWorld?

this is how we ended the night- yes- we had a full day!
