Sea World

In May, we decided we could squeeze one more vacation in, and I'm so glad we did! We decided to do a quick weekend in California and go to Sea World. We were lucky enough that Michaela was able to get off work and come with us!

The first thing we did was see the dolphins at the dolphin encounter. We even got to put our hands in the water and touch them. Eden loves dolphins, so she was really excited.Sea World was a great choice for us because for one, I was able to sit down a lot and rest, and two, it was really hot, so it gave us a chance to get wet! We didn't really sit close enough to get splashed at the Shamu show, but Michaela and Eden ran down to the bottom to get splashed!

Eden and Michaela also went on one of the roller coasters together and even though Eden looks happy here, so was terrified on the ride I guess! Well, she got over it pretty fast.Sea Lions hanging out.

The dolphin show was pretty cool.Touching star fish.

Right before we left, we convinced the kids that they could handle the rapids ride. I wish I could have gone with them; it looked like fun and it was really hot outside! They all got soaked, and the kids loved this ride!

That night we went to The Ocean House for dinner and headed back to Grandma Packard's house for the night. The next day we went to the beach. It was nice and sunny, and I was so relaxed, I just laid there and took a nap under the umbrella while the kids played. It was great.

It was the perfect little last-minute vacation!
