Sea World Passes

Sea World is one of my most favorite places in the world and even though there is a bunch of controversy surrounding them right now, I know first hand what a great job they do for not only the animals in their care, but also for the thousands in the wild.  Therefore, you can only imagine how excited I was when my parents bought us annual passes for Christmas.

With it still being the Christmas season, it was fun to be able to see some of the shows with a Christmas theme.  When we go back next time, the shows will obviously be back to normal.

Waiting for the Dolphin show to begin.

Waiting for the Orca show to begin.  You can see a few of them in the background

Check out how much bigger the orca is compared to its trainer!

Mother and Son flying thru the air.  So majestic!

This baby calf was born exactly one month ago.  It was fun seeing him swimming over his mother and trying to nurse.  So cute!!!

This picture got out of order, but Kya is finally warm and cozy after being soaked by an earlier ride.  Hanging out with her beloved Flamingos.

These happy campers have no idea what they are about to run into....

A waterfall goes right over Kya and Grandpa!  Bwahahaha

Even though Kya was soaked clear through, you couldn't wipe the smile off of her or her siblings faces.

Elsie was thrilled to have had the chance to touch a dolphin

Mesmerized by the graceful swimming of the Beluga Whale.

The Sea Lion and Otter show is always a fun one

This guy was too funny and helped to make the show

We are already looking forward to when we can go back, as we didn't get a chance to see and do everything!
