Sea World !!

Wow! A good friend once said that traveling with kids isn't a vacation, it's a trip! Well I know what those Dubost jets-etters were saying. It was 3 days full of fun, smiles, tears, singing, snacks, dance, caffeine, walks, swimming, diapers, dessert, shopping, and that is only the beginning. We had a fantastic get-away and here are a couple of the highlights from Day 1! Our first stop was Sea-World!

Who is excited for some fun?!?

Our first stop was the Sea-Lion show. Both Kevin and I remember coming to this show when we were kids. The star of the show was named Seymore the Sea-Lion and boy was he talented! The show did not disappoint and our little Addison was amazed! I have never seen her eyes so big and her sit so still. Perfect way to start the day!

Who knew we would find Elmo at this magical place.. At first Addison was not having any part of Elmo and Bert ....  but

once the tunes of Sesame street came on these two danced their little hearts out. Addison copied everything he did. It was hilarious :) Ms. Leslie her dance teacher would have been very proud.

It was a day of first... This was her first flying ride. I think we are getting ready for our big trip to Disneyland on her Birthday! She passed with flying colors and was a huge fan of this flying Elmo.

Next it was time to see the Penguins. 

and the Jones girls love Penguins!! and prepare yourself for the next picture.. because only my princess would want..... wait for it....

a hot pink purse that comes with a Penguin!  

Boy is this Daddy in trouble in a couple of years. Love little Addie's face in this picture. When I asked her to take it she went right over and put her hand on his shoulder, what in the world have I created?!?

Although we did miss the dolphin show we were right on time to see Shamu! We didn't sit in the splash zone but did enjoy watching everyone else get wet. When I was a kid I vividly remember my Dad saying that it was ok to sit in the splash zone because there was no way we would get wet. Well we did and that was the last working day of our family video camera. We weren't about to make the same mistake with two little babies!!  

This was a late in the afternoon show and by the end Addison was ready for a nap and to say good bye to all her new Sea World friends! But the great news is that if you buy one day you can enjoy the entire year for free!! So we will definitely be back - possibly with some fellow blog friends (any takers?!?)
