Sea World - again!!!

Sea World offered a second day free, and we took full advantage!  We loved it on our Day #1 adventure, so to come back for our Day #4 adventure was a super bonus!

We loved watching this walrus (he was so huge),


and the beluga whales!  They are so cool!

 
And I loved watching these "crazy funny animals" run from ride to ride!





Especially this "funny crazy one" here with Karlee (he's cool like that!).  Layne was riding Shamu...

 while my mom and I were riding the Manta!!  :)


Actually - those of us who braved the Manta (even especially Layne), thought it was the coolest coaster ever! Well, except maybe my dad.  He rode it - then decided he might be gettin' old! :)  My mom can hang with us, though!  I think she might have even opened her eyes - for a second!  And Kyler - well he is just a roller coaster riding fool! 


At the end of our day we watched the dolphins, and they are amazing!


I think Kenzie could have watched them all day long!


So this might be too much information for some, but it is kind of interesting...

We learned that dolphins enjoy sex as much as humans - especially after eating - and as teenagers when "hormones are raging."  The lady also explained that as you watch dolphins swim as a pair, "it is like they are 'in sync' with each other and dancing before the actual act." 

Every once in a while Karlee would shout out, "Hey Mom, that one's a boy!"
