Hi everyone! One of the perks of living in Florida is access to the exciting theme parks.We took advantage and spent a day at Sea World courtesy of the wonderful family members who helped MariCagle to win 4 tickets through a school fundraiser. It was a first for all four of us and we thoroughly enjoyed ourselves. It was a fun-filled day packed with lots of excitement and we didn't even see everything there. I think we all enjoyed the Shamu and dolphin shows best. Although Nate was especially taken with the pirate-themed shows including the sea lions and an Elmo production. We were also amazed by the penguins and the sharks. We hope you enjoy a few of our pictures below. We love you all!!
We were greeted by Shamu at the entrance gate. No better way to enter the park.
Then we quickly saw the real thing. Shamu was the very first show we watched. MariCagle was especially taken with the 'Believe' show sharing with us that it almost made her cry because she was so happy. I guess she gets her sentimentality from her mother...I must admit that I too teared up. She explained later that it was her favorite because it 'taught us about the world and how we all work together.' And here she made her mama cry all over again!! Man!
Posing with Shamu after the show.
Nate continues to love all things pirate. This ship was in no way fitted with pirate decor, however, Nate declared it a pirate ship. Therefore we had to climb on...twice. It was also his primary reason for loving Clyde and Seymore, the pirate sea lions, and the Elmo Bookaneer show. I would say that his and MariCagle's preferences are slightly different. :)
The rides and play area for young children was quite impressive. They had lots of rides that the kids loved including the Shamu roller coaster and this crab free fall type ride. I was a little concerned that they might freak out at the top but as you can see, they loved every minute of it.
They both figured out pretty quickly how to get to the top. This was the site where Nate incurred his carpet-type burn on his belly. Needless to say, the boo-boo was very quickly forgotten after we took him to the first aid station and they patched him up and gave him a free stuffed Shamu.

Tha is so awesome! I have to admit that sea world was by far my favorite theme park when I was younger as well. Mari Cagle also got her sentimental side from her uncle b as well, he would be as teary as anyone! See you soon!
