Now that I am on Spring Break and can actually devote time to my family, Kyle and I decided to take Andrew on his very first trip to Sea World to meet Shamu. We also went with Andrew's best buddy Jakob and his mommy and daddy!
The boys had an absolute blast and I have to say, I thought Sea World was awesome. I have not been in probably 10 years and perhaps it was so much more enjoyable because of Andrew and the look of amazement on his sweet little face. Everything was great: the rides for the kids, the entertainment for the adults, and of course, the company we were with!
Praise the Lord he stopped for a moment to take a nap. And wouldn't you know it, he fell asleep at lunch time and I ACTUALLY got to eat! It was a miracle!
The dolphins swam right up to Andrew and Jakob. We were off to the side thinking that the boys would be safe from crowds trying to touch the dolphins. Wouldn't you know it, the dolphins decided to hang out with Andrew and Jakob. I had never touched a dolphin before so it was a VERY cool experience!
SHAMU SHOW!!! Andrew had just woken up! Don't worry, he perked up as soon as Shamu jumped right in front of him!
Later, we fed the Sea Lions. Leave it to me to probably be the only person who ever got a fish stuck alongside the glass pane rather than give it to the Sea Lion. Figures!
After we arrived home, the "boys" were done!
I would say Andrew's first trip to Sea World was certainly a success! We can't wait to go back!
