Wednesday, Day 4 of Disneyland Vacation
Wednesday we went to Sea World. I love the drive down to San Diego. I remember it from when I was little. Being right next to the ocean and the dense fog that seemed to always be there. It was a pretty day, perfectly overcast.







Pictures with the Clydesdale


My little girls

The main attraction:

Gotta love Shamu!!

However, our family could spend the whole day at the Forbidden Reef petting and feeding the

California bat rays


Appetizing.....right??



You'd think she'd done this before....if it weren't for her somewhat disgusted face.


I think it went for his finger


Everyone gettin' in on the action


Bright shining smiles!!

We watched the flamingos for a while & all I could think about was this song from when I was a kid "Mr. Stand on One Leg is such a funny bird, standing there on one leg is so absurd!" Anyway, just a little tidbit for ya...


The dolphin show


Atticus was mesmerized!

Anxiously awaiting the Clyde & Seymour show

And there he is.

The shark attraction

The underwater tube is extremely cool

Duh dum, duh dum, duh dum....

Penguin Encounter-One of Brandon's favorite attractions

Cutest penguins EVER!!!

Atticus loving the Commerson's dolphin.

Next we went back over to Journey to Atlantis

We had checked it out when we first got there, but

decided we would wait until the sun came out to get wet.

And there we are.

Brandon stayed back with Atticus as he was too little to ride. We got off the ride and met back with Brandon who was laughing hysterically, but trying to be nonchalant about what he was doing. He kept feeding money into the spray guns at the end of the hill and blasting poor, unsuspecting passengers that he had never before seen in his life!! The guns are placed perfectly so you think you are finally out of any possible range of water, and have finally managed to put your hair back in place and then you get pelted right in the face with a blast of water. He probably blew 20 bucks just in the time it took for us to get off the ride. I have to admit, it was pretty hilarious though.

The star fish at the California Tide Pool

I love all the hands-on exhibits at Sea World!!

Even Atticus got to touch them.

Waving goodbye to Shamu, until next time!!!

Oh how I LOVE Disneyland!!! I have so many fond memories!! Many with Brandon's family.

I remember standing in line for HOURS to go on Splash Mountain when it first opened...I can't tell you how many times Brandon would say, "Let me see your hand", and then grab it and smack some poor unsuspecting person in line using MY hand.

Then there were the times he would unhook the dividers between lines and hook them onto peoples belt loops so that when they'd walk off, they'd feel a yank on their britches, and realize they were stuck...I've actually used that move several times...some as recent as last year... :)

Good Times. Good Times.

You guys will have to come and visit us! We have a Sea World and a Six Flags in San Antonio!! Our Sea World has a bunch of roller coasters too! :)
