I knew I took more pictures of our trip and I found them today. That's the problem when you go back and forth between the phone camera and the regular camera. :)
Back to the pool scene the first night, here is my 6'1'' son diving into 5 feet of water...probably right in front of the "No Diving" sign. Pretty surprising we didn't get kicked out of the pool between Bryson's bar push ups with a push off into the pool and Nick diving. But we did have the pool mostly to ourselves the whole time. Nick did not hurt himself diving but he DID give himself a bloody nose when he was demonstrating a dolphin kick too close to the bottom of the pool and his face slammed into the bottom of the pool...OUCH! Shortly after that, Bryson somehow gave himself a bloody nose just swimming back and forth. We definitely left our mark on that pool and will probably not be invited back.
There's a huge walrus in the water looking at everyone through the glass but you can't see it very well in the picture.
This was Nick's heaven and my nightmare...the reptile house.
This zoo is so huge they had a double decker bus that you could ride around the whole thing. We were the first ones on the bus and had our pick of seats and of course we picked the wrong side...most of the animals were on the opposite side that we chose to sit on, but we could still see them and my favorite ones to see from the bus were the Koala bears. So cute!
After spending 6 1/2 hours at the zoo, I felt exactly like the bear in the picture below!
We all loved the Dolphin Experience. They have you line the walls of this pool and at certain times during the day the trainers come out and have the dolphins do tricks and have them swim close to the edge of the walls where you can lean over the touch them as they swim by. We were there early for the show so one of the trainers told us the best wall to be at and we stood there for 30 minutes waiting for it to start. It was so worth the wait though as we all got to touch the dolphins several times as they swam by us!!
We love all the shows at Seaworld and this was probably the kids favorite day.
