Day 2 - SeaWorld

We reached Seaworld only around noon again because of some unexpected delays. First, we had breakfast at the restaurent in our hotel and they were sl....ooooo...w. :-( We also had to go buy a stroller for AJ as we forgot his stroller. His good stroller was broken long back thanks to AirFrance and he only has an umbrella stroller. So, we decided to buy a good one and assembling it took some more time..so we reached seaworld only around 11.30 and the park closing time was 6. As usual, it was crowded and we had to go early to get good seats for all the shows. We saw all that we wanted to. Shamu, Dolphin and Whale show and Sealion and Otter show. Both Ashu and AJ loved all of them. During and after the shamu show, AJ was chanting Shamu Shamu :)
We also sat in the soaking zone. We were in the second last row and when Shamu splashed the water on us, both Ashu and AJ got very excited. At that point, AJ fell in love with Shamu..He kept saying Shamu splash water, mommy. He sounded so happy whenver he said that. Ashu was excited too :-) He also bought this pendant that looks like shamu's tail :D

Ashu enjoyed the Sealion and otter show a lot. AJ liked it too and was laughing quite a bit. They both loved the dolphin show. Actually, i loved it the most. Just looking at a dolphin makes me happy..They are such happy creatures that spread happiness around. After the trip to seaworld, AJ started putting two straws in his mouth sporting the otter look :) He is so much in love with Shamu too that he bought a shamu stuffed toy and was dancing with it :D

We also went to Shamu's happy harbor and the kids went on some rides there. We took some good pictures at the Kodak's picture spot. We skipped Manta, Atlantis and the other scary ride Kraken. We missed Pets Ahoy because the show was full :-( Kids loved the stingray lagoon. It was tough to drag AJ out of that area. He kept running back to touch the stingrays. So unlike me..I went nowhere near it and was just happy to be the photographer ;-) We also went to the Polar Express Experience. We had to take the walking one as AJ was small for the Train motion. So, it was basically just sit and watch the movie clipping and then we walked into the north pole through a nicely decorated area (that reminded us of the Polar Express movie) and met santa. We also saw some dolphins inside and then a polar bear. It is always exciting to see a polar bear. We also saw whales. Kids were very excited to see the whales :) Every time a whale went away from the glass and AJ could not see it he said fishy went to eat mummu (food) :)
