Day 8: A Whale of a Tale

Day 8:  Sea World

The best "action" shot I got!

We drove back down to San Diego for a day at Sea World.  First on the agenda, feed the kids and watch Shamu!  The Shamu show was absolutely amazing.  The girls and I were in awe of a giant creature so loving.  They followed their trainers better than most children I have seen.  Huge splashes and lots of giggles were had that day.  Gabi wanted to get "wet" so we walked down closer to get a little water on us.  Michael and Isabella opted for the "dry" section.

An Amazing Creature!

Another amazing creature, Gabriella, also loves the water!

Daddy and Is waiting for the show to start.

Isabella loved Shamu.  In part of the show they have you make an Orca tail with your hands and shout, "Shamu, Shamu, Shamu."  Isabella kept flapping her arms and chanting, "Shampu, Shampu, Shampu."  It was so cute it melted my heart. 

Feeding the Manta Rays!

Carmella, our animal lover, enjoyed feeding the Manta Rays little shrimp.  Seriously, every animal she meets is "hungry" and "wants to be loved on."  The rest of the day was full of dolphin and shark watching, as well as, riding more rides.  The girls had a wonderful time and made great memories.  Now that we are a month returned from California the girls talk about going back.  Not sure I have the heart to tell them it will be a few years before they make it back.
