Sea World

Jackson and I visited grandma Kathy and grandpa Art a couple of weeks ago. While we were there we went to Sea World, Hodads (I will blog about this later) and Phoenix to find a house for us to live in. Our first adventure was Sea World! We went at the best time of the year. At least for a 2 year old! There were a lot of rides closed, but he couldn't go on them anyway and there was hardly anyone there. It made it nice for him especially being able to walk and not get lost in a crowd. We went the day before Veterans Day and being that we are Military, I got in for free and Jackson's not being 3 yet, he got in for free too. It was awesome!

This was our first show for the day! Sea Lions and the ugliest Walrus I have ever seen in my life! Jackson liked it, but he seemed to like the Shamu show more.

Shark exhibit with grandma Kathy! I think this is a Great White Sharks fossil.

Grandma Kathy treated us to lunch with Shamu! Archie is his real name, but we called him Shamu. At the bottom of this picture you can see a table. That is where we were sitting for lunch. We had an awesome view and Jackson just stood on his chair the whole time during lunch watching him swim by and shake his fins at him. It was awesome! This is at the Shamu Show! We sat right in the front middle (soak zone) and got wet! Jackson didn't like it to much, but he got over it pretty fast after he saw them flipping in the air and the instructors swimming with them. I think this probably was his favorite part of the day.

We also got to touch the Dolphin and see a ton of other things. Polar Bears, Penguins, lots of tropical fish and sea urchins. He had an awesome time and I think this was by far better then anything we've done with him. Lots of learning and hands on for him. Thanks Kathy for sharing our day with us we had a great time!
