Sea World

We enjoyed a few wonderful days at Sea World San Diego. Here, the highlights:




Since we spent a lot of time waiting for shows to begin, Garrett amused himself by playing photographer with my camera. Note to the lady sitting in front of us in the Shamu show: a deep conditioner and some hair product would really go a long ways.

We saw Shamu....

and the penguins.....

and these strange creatures.



We gazed at the sea turtles,

played keep-away with the dolphins,

laughed at the sea lions (or is it seals? I can't remember),

and crashed at the end of the day.


We rode rides,

stopped for ice cream,

and had a few meltdowns.

We got soaked on Journey to Atlantis,

and spent some quality time with Star Fish.



We love Sea World! We had perfect weather and made some fun memories, including one we will never forget: How Garrett got lost after the Sea Lion Show and how it took 15 minutes to find him. I think for all of us it was the longest 15 minutes of our lives! Our family was reminded that day of the tender mercies of the Lord, and how He so carefully watches over us and hears and answers our prayers.

Thanks for sharing so many pictures of your trip! Ellie loved looking at the whales and dolphins and penguins and turtles. I loved looking at Cassidy about to smash the castle.

I am so glad that you found Garrett!
