Sea World Day 2

We went back to Sea World on Saturday. Being the weekend there was a lot more people there. We were glad to have done the major things the day before. Even with larger crowds it was still very manageable, and we got to do everything we wanted.


Since Sea World is owned by Anhueser Busch they have Clydesdale horses there. They have a presentation where you get to see them braid the tail and mane to see how they "dress" them. You can then take a picture. However they will not take a pic with your camera, if you want a group pic you have to buy theirs.

The second day Madison was much more interested in seeing the animals, and would get very excited. All day long, bear, bear, bear. It would go on for what ever animal we were looking at.

As we exited the exhibit that held animals from colder regions Madie saw a plush walrus. She instantly picked it up and started walking around with it. I thought we would have to buy it for her, but she gave it up without a fight.





Watching the beluga whales.
They were working with trainers so we got to see them spinning.


They have a show with sea lions where they spoof popular tv shows. Here they are competing in Survivor. They also did American Idol, and the sea lions actually sang, CSI, and Iron Chef.
The show was very funny.



These are from the manatee rescue.


I would have to say Pets Rule was Madies favorite. It had dogs, cats and oinks, as Madie calls them.


Madie was ready to go home as she fell asleep just a few minutes after we finished all we wanted to see. After viewing the penguins she once again grabbed a plush, this time she put up a fight not wanting to let it go. Before we bought it we went back to the walruses and asked if she wanted that. "No", she said as she pushed it away. So we went back and got her the penguin. I went in alone since the stroller is huge, and the shop was small, and not letting her see what I got put in the stroller. We also got Collin an orca. When we got to the car she woke up as we put her in, so I gave her the penguin. She was so happy to have it she grabbed on and wouldn't let go. She even had to take it with her into the restaurant for dinner.
