Sea World - Day 1: Not the Happiest Place on Earth

I'm a little behind in posting, but we've been a little busy, so here goes. We made it to Sea World during the first weekend of Spring Break. Peyton had never been and Halli was beyond excited to go again. The weather couldn't have been more perfect and there really weren't too many people there, so we were already off to a good start. After eating some sandwiches we smuggled in, it was off to the kiddie rollercoasters. So, at Sea World there are only a couple kiddie rollercoasters. Luckily, Halli liked them a little, and Peyton thought they were a blast, but I think they liked the playground the best and stayed there for quite awhile.

Now, you can't go to Sea World and not see shamu. So we headed over to see "Believe", the show put on by the killer whales. Did you know that sometimes the Killer Whales don't do what they're supposed to do? Yeah, they had to CANCEL the show! When does that ever happen? That's when things started to go a little down hill. (But who are we kidding, it's Sea World, how far down can it really go?) Halli was pretty disappointed, so we headed off to find some good rollercoasters. Unfortunately, she was still a little too short for the big ones, and the ones she could go on were water ones, so she wanted to wait till the next day when she was in a swimsuit.

So, the majority of the first day was spent waiting for mommy and daddy to go on the rollercoaster, each by themselves of course, and playing in the kiddie area. Not all bad, but just look at some of these pictures and you can see just how much fun some of it was for the girls.

Waiting to see Shamu, and full of excitment!

After seeing a little bit of the show, Shamu was done and stayed here until it was canceled.

Someone was all tuckered out.

Waiting for Daddy to get done on the roller coaster.

and waiting,

and waiting,

and waiting some more.

Lexie made up her own Roller coaster ride, she was feeling left out!

Looking cute while her sisters play

Woo Hoo, finally a roller coaster!

Having fun! They loved it and there was no line, so they got to go a bunch.

Waiting again. This time for the shuttle to pick us up for the hotel. If you ever think our kiddos are acting weird, you now know where it comes from!

See...Just like dad!

Waiting some more, and having fun while doing it.

Being weird again. Gotta love that guy!
We all had a blast, and after all this, we got to go back again. Stay tuned for day two!

It still looks like they had a blast even without Shamu...how disappointing though that Shamu didn't cooperate. Loved all of the pics and especially the sweet b/w one of Peyton. :)

I never post pics of myself either...I don't know if it is on purpose or subconscious.

Looks like you guys are having a great time.
Can't wait for day two!
Love Ya,
