After a very long day at Disneyland, we needed a day to rest! On Thursday, we stuck around the house and had a barbeque and a little Easter egg hunt in Di's backyard. Sam came out for the occasion, but despite my best efforts I couldn't get Jacob to give him any of his "balls" (eggs). Jae and his family came over for the night. All the kids had fun. After the little kids went to bed we went for Round 2 of Settlers. I think David and I could play that game almost every night if only we had someone to play it with!
Day 8
On Friday, we met up with Jae and kids, Natalee and Katherine, and Randy and Jerry for a fun day at Sea World.
We enjoyed the penguins, dolphins, polar bears, Orca whales, beluga whales, otters, turtles and the sharks. When we were in the shark exhibit walking through the tunnel surrounded by the water Kate stopped and said, "WHOA...this is like real life!"
The Orca whale show was really neat...I was very grateful we hadn't chosen to sit in the "Soak" zone!
Ben loved the Atlantis water ride. He said it was his favorite thing on the entire trip...(at least until I reminded him of space mountain)!
Kate and Luke were too short for a few of the rides, but they happily entertained themselves anyway!
Nana bought the kids some fish to feed to the sea otters. Ben was too scared to touch the fish, but not his little sister Kate. She was too fast for me to get a picture though! The otters reminded me a little of Jacob impatiently squawking for his food!
Jacob and I enjoyed the polar bears and the beluga whales. The whales look a little like ghosts in these pictures.
Kate enjoyed the penguins and the dolphin show.
At the end of the day we took Jacob for a ride with Elmo. He loved it and did not want to get off!
And here is our last family photo of the day! A day well spent!
After the kids were in bed, Rob and Di and David and I headed to a Thai restaurant for dinner. I let Rob order for me and I really enjoyed all of the food. David and I fought for the leftovers the next day! Thanks again to Katherine for babysitting!
