Day 3 -Sea World

I'm having technical issues with my photoshop computer, but I wanted to get these posts up before too much time goes by- so once again the unedited pictures (and some are PRETTY bad.) I know you don't care, but I do :)


June 17

We spent the day at Sea World in Orlando. Florida is unbearably HOT when you can't swim or get wet. Even though we were surrounded by water we could barely stand to walk around and we were all soaked from sweat (something we would have to get used to for the rest of the trip).


Here is Chase ready to start the day at sea world. Notice how his hair is ALREADY sweaty.




Much to my surprise, Chase actually loved watching the shows.
The picture above is of him watching the sea lion show (pictured below). It was a pretty funny show and Chase could help but join in the laughter.


After a few exhibits and a couple shows we headed to the big Shamu show.
Chase loved all the "Goggies". We had only been at sea world for about 2 hours when he tuckered out. Chase has NEVER been able to just fall asleep anywhere. He ONLY sleeps in his crib or in his car seat on a drive. This is part of why the flight didn't go well- tired + ornery+ unable to sleep = screaming child on plane. Well, at the Shamu show he fell asleep.

...and continued to sleep all the way until lunch.

We splurged and ate dinner at the Shark's underwater grill. We got a front row seat right up against the glass.


Chase and I after dinner in front of the sharks.


You know your a picky eater when you have to order off the childs menu because you don't like a single thing on the grown ups menu. Oh well, it was much cheaper that way.

Chase's favorite part of the dinner were the shark gummies that came with our Kid's- meal dinners.


This was Chase's favorite show. The Pet's ahoy. They had dogs cats and rats preforming this show and he loved every second of it.


The best idea we had for the trip was taking the camelback. We debated about it since we weren't planning on hiking much, but we used it EVERY day.





The final show we caught was the dolphin show and we were all tired and headed out.

This is Chase when we got back home for a nap time. We reserved a crib and turns out the hotel didn't have a crib reserved for us (or so the lady told us) so we blocked off a corner of the room with tables and chairs and folded blankets up for padding and he slept really well. In fact the next day they brought us a crib and we decided our little make shift bed was a better idea.

We stayed that night on the beach in Daytona. After Chase woke up we went out and swam some more and I gave my camera a little rest.
