SeaWorld

Saturday June 21st Kaleb went to the Wild Animal Park with his Grandpa and cousins, so I decided to take Drayden to SeaWorld. We went with Anna and her daughters Kaylee and McKenna and we had a blast!! This was Draydens 3rd time going to SeaWorld and every time he is more and more fascinated. He absolutely loves Shamu and this time we got to see every animal up close. We fed the bat rays, or should I say I fed the bat rays. Drayden would not touch them. He eventually touched the water and was so proud of himself. We also fed the dolphins which was really cool. When you buy the fish they let you go in a roped off section, so the dolphins come right up to where you can feed and pet them. Once again Drayden would not even stick his hand in the water let alone touch the dolphin. He did really like the dolphins this time though. It was the first thing he told his daddy about when we got home. Drayden has been asking almost every day since if we can go to SeaWorld again.

It was so hot and we were looking all over for frozen lemonade. We finally found it. It was a self serve and then you get in line and pay. It was so hot that by the time we payed (and we only had a few people ahead of us) the "frozen" lemonade was more like regular lemonade.

Anna and I started laughing so hard about the melted lemonade, I think the heat was starting to get to us.

Mckenna was so funny everytime she saw flowers she would pick one and smell it and then would either give it to someone or put it in her hair. What a sweet girl.

The polar bear was sleeping right in front, so you could actually see him.
Kaylee, Drayden, and McKenna checking him out.



We had such a full day the kids were knocked out before we even got out of the parking lot.

This picture of Kaylee cracks me up, it was taken when we met JR so she was not happy when she was woken up. If looks could kill...
