SeaWorld

If you ask Jaxon what his favorite part of the whole trip was, he will probably ramble on and on about Orcas, shark tunnels, dolphins etc. He LOVED SeaWorld! He is slightly obsessed with all ocean animals especially orcas and sharks. So he was totally in HEAVEN!
We got up bright and early and stopped at a local hotspot for breakfast called Hash House A Go Go. A friend of mine who lives there recommended it to us... and thank goodness she did! It was about 4 minutes from our hotel, and we loved it! Huge portions, amazing food, fun atmosphere.... we ended up going twice! And resisted going back a 3rd time!

The Shamu show didn't start until 12, so we had some time to see and do a few things right when we got there. Carson and Jaxon loved watching these dolphins swim around!

 Jaxon was dying to ride the Manta rollercoaster, but he is about 2.5 inches too short. So we distracted him with other little rides.

He was so excited to go in the Shark Tunnel! Once we got in there he was a little nervous about how dark it was. But he still loved it! Carson even thought it was cool!

This boy and sharks! He is obsessed!

We decided to sit in the splash zone for the Shamu show! We bought a poncho to cover Carson and I, plus our bags... just in case. Luckily we didn't end up needing them! The show was amazing! Joel has been before, but it was my first time, and of course the boys. We loved it!

Jaxon didn't move the whole show. He was glued! He was squealing, giggling and awwwing the whole time! It really is so fun to see you kids THAT excited about something.

Right after the show we had our Dine with Shamu! One of my friends told us about it... I am soooo glad we did it! It costs a little extra, but was worth every dime! I honestly thought it was one of the best parts of our whole trip! It was a buffet lunch, while you eat the whales have free time. So they are swimming around, playing, doing what ever they want. So neat! Then one of the trainers comes out and has the whales do some tricks, and stuff. The best part was how up close and personal it is! We had awesome seats and literally loved every minute!

This silly boy has a new obsession with spoons!

Family picture.... yikes. It was not a good one. But better then nothing I guess!

This one whale would sit right by Jaxon and spit at him! Jaxon was loving that!

After lunch we walked around some more, went to the sea lion show, and then the dolphin show.

We got the boys caricatures done on our way out! I love these! I think they are so funny!

 It was a long, fun day! We were so tired by the time we were done! We went to dinner at one of the restaurants in our hotel, grabbed some ice cream. And went to relax in our room for the rest of the night. Making memories as a family..... nothing is better!
