Saturday at Sea World

Today we headed over to Sea World and met up with our friends the Townsends and Pearsons. Jacob's mom watched KK for us so we could enjoy our day! The first thing we did was see the penguins and sea lions. After that we went to the Elmo and Abbey show. While we were at the show, Jacob and Jeff went over to ride Manta, the new rollercoaster.
Waiting for the Elmo show to start.


After the show Jacob, Jeff, and I rode Manta and it was unbelievable. I've never been on a rollercoaster where you look down at everything. We said goodbye to the Townsends and the rest of us ate lunch. After lunch we headed over to Shamu's Happy Harbor. Originally the plan was to visit the splashground, but the water wasn't running.

We ran into these guys in Shamu's Happy Harbor!



After riding the carousel we saw the beluga whales and walruses. Up next was the dolphin show. The last time we took Mady to the dolphin show she wasn't even a year old. This time she totally loved it because not only did they have dolphins, but they also had high divers, acrobats, and birds.

Totally into the dolphin show!



Once the show was over we dashed over to the Seaport Theater to see the Pets Ahoy! show. They've changed the show since the last time we saw it and it wasn't as good. Mady still enjoyed seeing all the different animals. By this time we were all pretty hot and sweaty. It was unbelievably hot and summer has definitely arrived in Florida. Mady and Emily really wanted a Shamu bar so we stopped in and got them one. Unfortunately, it was so hot outside that they melted before they could finish them!


Right before they turned into a melted mess!




We all loaded up in our cars and headed back home. We picked KK up around 7:15 and she was so excited to see us! She even said "mama" when she saw me! Tomorrow is Mady's big recital! Grandma and Gma are coming to watch Mady, as well as, Renee and Emily. Hopefully she'll pay attention and do all her ballet moves! Monday we are headed up to Crescent Beach where the Townsends will be waiting for us! I think we're going to have awesome weather, although it will be very hot! We'll be back on Friday so look for an update with all our pictures!

And, a final note... as you all know KK has been so sick with RSV and wheezing since Thankgsiving. She started breathing treatments two weeks ago, but the wheezing and coughing are not going away. Jacob took her back to the doctor on Friday and he prescribed another round of breathing treatments, as well as an antibiotic and oral steroid. Hopefully she'll recover from this and we won't have to deal with it anymore this summer!
You would never know she was sick by looking at her! She is so, super sweet!
