Owen's Field Trip to Sea World

On Monday, we took a field trip to Sea World with Owen's preschool class.  Owen has been looking forward to this trip for quite a few weeks!  The day was a bit gloomy but it wasn't too bad overall and we still had a ton of fun.  When Owen, Gavin and I arrived, we searched for the rest of Owen's classmates and his teachers.  Once we found them and waited for everyone else to arrive, we made our way in and our first stop was to see the Sea Lion and Otter show.  It was really cute and the show was a little different since it was tailored more towards the kids and put on by the education dept.  They showed how they teach the animals different tricks and they actually practiced in front of us.  I really liked seeing a different side of Sea World rather than what they usually show the public. 

 Ready for our first show

 Seamore the sea lion doing some tricks!

 At the Shark Encounter

 I tried to get Owen to touch the starfish but he couldn't get past the 52 degree water.  It was cold!

 Going to see some penguins!

 At the Wild Arctic

 Gavin loved the ice wall!

 Ready to go up the tower to see the cool views!

 See what I mean by gloomy?

 On Owen's birthday last year, we had breakfast with Shamu here!

 Patiently waiting for the Shamu show to start!  It's our favorite!

 Shamu!  Shamu!

 Gavin finally fell asleep after the Shamu show, so we walked over to the new(to us) Turtle Reef!

 I loved the beautiful, colorful reef! 

I had such a great time with Owen at Sea World.  He was so good the whole day and always had a smile on his face.  He is becoming such a sweet little man.  I am so proud of him!
