Sea World

We've spent the past two days @ Sea World - despite having her attraction to all the pigeons and seagulls, we managed to pry her away and take a look at some of the cool exhibits that are there too! We even got a "cool" out of her...so we think she's having fun - LOL!

By far - here's Megan's Top 3 Sea World Activities:



1) Feeding the sea lions. She would have done this all day. You can buy some fish and throw them over the glass or put them in a tube and the sea lions come right up and take it from you. She laughed and laughed as each one came for a visit and snack!




2) Elmo's Flying Fish Ride. Megan is a big Elmo fan - so a chance to fly in the air with him was not to be missed!



3) Wild Arctic Exhibit. This is really the greatest exhibit we'd ever seen. Sponsored by Ford - it's a journey into the North Pole region to visit whales, walrus & polar bears and a quick jaunt to the South Pole for some Penguins! Truly amazing the different ways they let you get up close to see the animals.




We managed to see one show - the dolphins, whale and bird combo. Megan really enjoyed it - but didn't really watch it! Rather, she looked into the audience, danced while the music was on, but always turned around and clapped after each act! We think the people around us enjoyed watching her more too! And while we didn't stay for the entire 25 minute show - Megan did make us stop on the back side on our day 2 visit to watch the 'actors' warm up for their show that day...


If there was any doubt - we are having a blast. Can't wait to get on the cruise ship tomorrow and see what adventures that will bring! We just checked the weather...-23 in Calgary...+16 here (except in the Extreme Arctic Exhibit!)

Looks familiar. Can't believe we were just there last Spring Break. Sounds like you are having a great time experiencing everything through Megan's eyes. Thanks for all the photos. We're covered in white here and -6 this morning. Yikes!!
