Seaworld

Eric wanted to sit in the "soak zone" for the show.  This shot doesn't do the wave of water justice.  Zac got the picture right before we got wet, for the 2nd time. Earlier we saw the sea lion and otter show and sat in the soak zone and didn't get a drop of water.  This is at the dolphin show.  They ended up having 2 whales at this show.  As soon as Zac heard there were 2 whales, he stood up with Lily and got out of the "soak zone."  We were wet the entire rest of the day.

The first and only time Lily slept while we were out.  She was exhausted by this point. 

Me and the kids had a turkey leg for lunch.  They were huge!  Way to much meat for me.

Aubrey's mad because she wanted to pick up a starfish and we wouldn't let her.  She thought we were being mean.

We forced a smile on her.  Aubrey had her heart set on this white sea lion stuffed animal the moment we entered the park.  She kept on telling me throughout the day how much she would love one.  Right before we left we let the kids pick out one stuffed animal.  Aubrey got her sea lion which she named "Snowy Snow Nielson," Eric picked out a dolphin (he didn't tell me the name), Jennifer picked out the Shamu Whale and named him "Dolphin," (and refuses to change it), and Lily got a penguin.

The kids loved the rides.  This one made Diane sick.  It spun around.

We had a personal show of the workers training the porcupine.  They were teaching him how to walk on a leash and climb up on stumps, etc.  It was really interesting to see how they train these animals.

After Seaworld, Dad and Diane wanted to see the house that Zac grew up in.  We drove on over to Coronado.  Zac said he never had grass that green while living there.

Here's the school that Zac went to.

After Coronado, we headed back to San Diego and had dinner at the Gaslamp Quarters.  We were looking for some seafood, but settled on the Spaghetti Factory for the kids.  They were starving by this point.
