Sea World

Since we needed to go to Orlando to pick up Fred's new car...we decided to stay the night and spend the day at Sea World! But, before we get to those pics...here's a few from the hotel [the kids thought it was just as cool as Sea World]! LOL We don't normally stay in hotels where the basic room rate is $299 a night...but, it was just one night so, we decided...what the hell!?

The kids, so glad to be outa the car!

Lambie & Daddy checking out the view of Sea World from our balcony.

She loves when you smell her stinky feet! This is about the time Kailee informed me that she could live in this hotel FOREVER.

[like the Suite life of Zack & Cody] Deciding what to order from room service... We ordered way too much...the pizza isn't even in the picture!

What else is there to do on a king sized bed, but wrestle!? Too funny to not post...

Lambie wearing bubby's underoo's on her head!

Just half of the hotel lobby...

[there is also a full sized Starbucks, heaven]

Checking out the waterfall...

Making a wish...

All right...we are finally off to Sea World! That's an interesting way to spell my name...

Another fam shot...clearly Lambie is NOT a morning person! Gorgeous Dolphins in the Dolphin Nursery

Mommies and Babies...soooo sweet!

Our first show of the day was Clyde & Seymore

Kailee was picked for some audience participation! Shaking hands w/Clyde

[We bought the pictures taken by the park picture people, I need to get them scanned...along with the family pic ones...they'll be posted later]

The scanned pics...as promised! The Shamu show..."Believe"

Fred, Kailee & Ryan sat right down front so they could get wet...which they succeeded in!

Lauren & I sat safely way up top!

Lambie showing us the frogs!

Hanging out in Happy Harbour!

The girls turn...

...and that is where the camera battery DIED!!! I am gonna have to get a back up battery as many pics as we take!

I'll just recap the rest of the day...we had lunch at the Anhueser Busch Hospitality House...free beer & $9 bowl of stew! Yay! We checked out the gianormous Clydesdale's. Amazing creatures...

Then we rode Kracken...Kailee went 3 times!

[stock photo] We caught one last show...not sure what they call it, but it's dolphins and whales and crazy people in bird costumes diving off insanely high platforms! That's about the time we decided to head outa the park, but not before stopping to see the Manatee's and Sting Ray's. If you've never fed a sting ray...you've gotta try it! It's crazy! This little slit on the underside of the ray, opens up big enough to fit a baseball in and they suck [about as hard as vacuum] the fish right outa your fingers! It took lots of coaxing but Kailee finally gave it a shot...it was too cool!

Just a couple random pics, snapped w/the crappy cell phone camera!

Me & Lambie rode the 'teacups' [they're called something different, obviously] While daddy & the big kids climbed in the HUGE play structure!

Kailee, Ry and Daddy on the flying fiddler

Sweet girl, exhausted!

We couldn't have picked a more PERFECT day to go to Sea World! The weather was gorgeous with temps in the mid 70's! There was hardly anyone at the park...of course...it's January! Everyone had a blast. So glad daddy got a new car, so we had us an excuse to head down there...speaking of Daddy's new car...

Volvo S40

My hubby is such a DORK!

I can not wait to get my hands on this little thing...
