Sea World - June 2008

My idea was to take a family picture before our adventure into SeaWorld began while the girls were happy and awake. It didn't quite work out that way, however. The girls were both a bit timid since Uncle Nathan had just shown up and it takes them a while to warm up to him since they only see him a couple times each year. It probably didn't help that he was the one taking the picture.

Looks like Ry has warmed up to Nathan enough to share a bucket of popcorn.

Getting ready to watch Pets Rule! - it was Ry and Elle's favorite show of the day.

Elle fell in love with these polar bears...

She drug this one all over the store...

Who can say no to this face? Fortunately, Mommy can!

Elle taking a little rest during the Shamu show. Sea World is a lot for a little girl to take in all in one day.

Watching Shamu... The girls were ready to move on before the show was over.

Found out later that you are NOT allowed to take the starfish out of the water. Oops.

Guess Uncle Nathan missed the memo, too...

Ry and Daddy checking out the sharks - this is Chris' favorite thing at SeaWorld!

Two of my three favorite people.

Notice the white cat in these pictures? I think the only time Elle put it down was when she found the huge polar bear she wanted to bring home - then it was bye-bye kitty. Of course, until she found out the polar bear had to stay then she and her white kitty were inseparable.

We had a great day at SeaWorld and are so glad we got to share it with Uncle Nathan.
