SeaWorld

     We had a great time at SeaWorld. We did shows and rides on Wednesday and mostly the waterpark on Thursday. It was nice to go in the middle of the week and avoid the crowds. Tanner was just tall enough to ride his first HUGE roller coaster: The Steel Eel. This is the roller coaster that Bryn and Parker were initiated with as well. I guess we will have to go again when Aubrey is right at 48 inches to let her join in the terrifying adventure.  Bryn, Parker and I also rode The Great White for the first time.  It is a floorless rollercoaster that goes up to 50mph and flips upside down and corkscews.  Pretty scary and fun!



Tanner rode this once on day one and swore he would never ride it again.  On day two he rode it three times.  I guess he changed his mind!   Parker was hooked when he tried it two years ago, and Bryn didn't talk for 45 minutes after the first time she rode it when she was eight.  Brian and I felt horrible about that one!



 

The big kids were good to go w/ Aubrey on some of the smaller rides. 
Park and Tan loved being goofy acting so scared.





Shamu! 




Tanner and I watching the kid's favorite show "The Cannery Row Caper."   This one had sea lions, a walrus, and a sea otter acting out a mystery.  It was pretty cute.






Brian was able to celebrate his 44th birthday at SeaWorld.  He is a great dad!
