Sea World Day 1

We drove from Arizona back to California to spend time with Amber Young. The first day in Southern California, we went to Sea World! It has been seven years since we've gone to Sea World and a lot has changed! Katiree was only one when we went last. This was a whole different experience!

They now have a Sesame Street Bay of Play area with Sesame Street rides and a song/dance by Sesame Street characters. Definitely Kezia's favorite part. The older kids liked it also. The rides were perfect for Tate, Zane and Kezia. Katiree didn't complain.

Kezia loved Abby's Spinning Sea Star ride (like teacups).

Watching one of many shows... On the first day we saw One Ocean (Shamu - orca show), Blue Horizons (dolphins, birds, high divers, trapeze artists), and Sea Lions Live.
 

While waiting for Shamu, Travis got a push-up pop for the kids to cool them down. It was getting warm and Kezia was getting tired! But, this helped for a little bit.
 

We also went to many of the exhibits, like the sharks, sea turtles, sea lions, sea otters and dolphins.


Amber and Zane have always had a very special relationship. Since he was less than 2, he has been "Auntie Amber"'s little sidekick. He would cry when she left. This time we saw her was no exception. He was attached to her side, holding her hand, sitting in her lap and begging her to hold him if the opportunity presented itself.
 Mommy's in some pictures! This was as we waited for the Blue Horizons show. Daddy was wheeling Kezia around while she slept in the stroller.

Blue Horizons - the dolphins were amazing!
