California Trip 2012 - Day 2 Seaworld

Day 2
We all went to Seaworld on Saturday!  It was a gorgeous sunny day and we had a great time.
Cara was very excited to see the sharks.  So excited she didn't really want to see anything else but the sharks.  So we headed to the sharks.  She liked the sharks but did not like the "ominous" music they were playing so she zoomed through the exhibit!
We went to the sea lion show.  The sea lions were fun.  The show was Halloween themed (so Cara was a bit scared but she seemed to get over it pretty quick).
The Shamu Show was awesome!
Cara at the dolphin exhibit (this was when she really wanted to just see the sharks!).
Doesn't she seem happy? :)
The girls heading into the shark exhibit! 
The shark tunnel!
A moving sidewalk that went under the aquarium - pretty cool but why was the Jaws music playing?  Just to scare sweet Cara?!?!
Time for some lunch at the Shipwreck Reef Cafe!
Yummy Shamu dog!
Cara finished hers in the stroller.
Everyone rode the cool new roller coaster (except for the little girls!).
That last car has Mark and Riley in the back row and Mummy and Charlotte in front!
Cara and Charlotte watching some fast small sharks and other fish.
Sea turtles and Cara.
Gwen and a beluga!
She loved the whales.  The beluga was swimming right up and along the glass and Gwen would giggle and sing "baby beluga" song.
Then she got to meet Elmo!
She was a bit unsure then started laughing!  A dream come true :)
Cara met her favourite guy Cookie Monster too!
Elmo really loved Daddy's shirt :)
A shot of Gwen watching the Shamu show after her little nap.
After meeting Elmo and Cookie we went on some Sesame Street rides.  Riley came along for the fun too!
 A rare shot of Gwen in a stroller!
She demanded to be carried most of the week.  We plied her with popcorn on this day.
Near the end of the day we went on the Sky Tower ride.
The pod turns while it travels up so you get a great view of San Diego.
Cousins on the Sky Tower!
A shot of Gwen and her fav puppy dog!
Day 2 came to an end with some stories from Uncle Mark!

Day 3 will be up tomorrow!

  2. It's just like being there! Your pics are fabulous! Good thing Adam wore the Elmo Shirt! Was that planned? A coincidence? Obviously Shamu and Cookie Monster were hits with the girls! - Grampy
