San Diego Part II

The next day we headed to Sea World. We met up with our friends the Schewbachs and had a blast. Sea World has added a Sesame Street "fun land" and it was the highlight for the kids. It had rides, water fun and a big climbing structure.

The bummer part was that they are re-doing the dolphin show, so there was no dolphin show to watch (which is one of our favorites). But we did catch them training the dolphins, so it was almost as good. The trainers aren't allowed to go in the water anymore with shamu, so that was a little sad, but I think they added more jumps and splashes to make up for it, so we think the shamu show was a little bit better than last time. And probably the best show was the pre-show to the seal lion show. That guy was hilarious!

Ella loved seeing the whales, dolphins and sea lions. She talked about them constantly and was captivated when she saw them. It was hard to pull her away. Later that night, we headed back to the hotel with our friends and the kids had a sleepover. All of them conked out in the main room (while the parents stayed up and talked). Fun for everyone!
