Sea World Adventure

Ethan has seen several commercials to Sea World this past month and kept saying how much he wanted to go to Sea World so we bought tickets a few weeks ago and waited until we had a free day to take him, he has been before but he was so young he doesn't remember lol(note to self in future wait til the kiddo is 4 or older to go to any amusement parks or zoos if you want them to remember lol) Anyways yesterday we got up really early told Ethan we were going on a family trip and headed down to good ol' San Diego, the weather called for decent temps around mid 60's and partly cloudy so we expected a great day out of it. Along the way Ethan kept asking where we were going and we asked him if he could go anywhere where would it be, HE SAID SEA WORLD!! :o) which made my ♥ so happy. We told him one day we will go there and kept the secret. He took a little nap on the way and woke up when we were about 5 minutes away. As we got closer he saw a Sea World sign and said "WE'RE GOING TO SEA WORLD!!!" we told him not this time were just next to it lol then came time to pay for parking and she said "Welcome, to Sea World!" Ethan then screamed "WE'RE AT SEA WORLD, YOU GUYS BROUGHT ME TO SEA WORLD!!!!" It made me so happy so see how much joy he got out of going somewhere that he really really wanted to go. We got settled went in and started our day. We got to see dolphins up close and almost touch them, Shamu, sea otters, whales, penguins, seals, seal lions and so much more. We took him to see the Sea Lion Show, The Shamu Show, The Dolphin Show, and Pets Rule all of which he loved but I think the dolphin Blue Horizon show was his favorite as well as ours. Then he road a couple of the rides and even got mommy on the tea cup like ride which ehhhhh made my tummy upset so Shauna took him on the other 2 rides, love her shes such a trooper and she likes those kinds of rides. We stayed there from opening 10am to almost closing 545pm then we made a quick detour to Hooters for dinner which was our first cheat day since we've been dieting and lets just say it SUCKED! The food was nasty and just ughhh but on a better not SEA WORLD WAS AMAZING!!! We had such a great time and I think Ethan enjoyed it very very much so!!
