Sea World

These pictures aren't in order but I will explain them as they come. We went to Sea World on Saturday, February 7. It was a really nice day. This is a performance group that was performing in the children's Sea Harbor area. The three in front were on different kind of stilts so they could jump and dance. Sheila really enjoyed it, Timmy was napping since it was late afternoon when we were over there.
Underneath a gigantic jungle gym for the older kids they had huge sandboxes for the younger kids. Timmy played in it for almost an hour. Sheila joined him after she was done with the jungle gym.

This rope cargo net was huge. There was three of them plus tons of tunnels to climb through. I had to climb to the top and then Ray gave me Timmy since his feet kept getting stuck. That is when I took him down to the sandbox.
In the jewels of the sea aquarium they had some beautiful fish and also an underfloor aquarium that Timmy loved to lay down on and look at the fish that way.
The dolphins of course one of our favorites to see. The changed the tank a little. The first two pictures are from the underwater viewing. It was a lot easier to see them this way.

The outside viewing area, you use to be able to get completely surround the area and try to pet the dolphins. They are usually pretty friendly. However, they have now sectioned it off and so only half is available to everyone, the far end. The other end where the dolpins stay the most is now only for those paying extra to feed the dolpins. Maybe it is not that way all the time, only during feeding time, but we happened to be there during feeding time.
Here is Ray's dad feeding the stingrays.
I have more pictures of the shows we attended and that will be one of my next posts.
