Day 72 - Sea World

After a much longer drive than I anticipated we made it to sea world, which is actually a water park as well! I wish I had of known that before we left as I didn't pack swimmers for any of us. Just after we got through the gates and grabbed some lunch the spongebob square pants show started. Maddie loved it and wanted to watch every second of it, so she wasn't impressed when I turned around with her on my shoulders to get the camera.



The penguins were pretty cool and the under water viewing areas for both the penguins and the aquariums were awesome. The seals were being fed when we passed so maddie was keen to watch that but boy did they smell! Maddie was also convinced that the sand in their enclosure was for playing in and surely belonged to her. Nathan was keen for the dolphin show, and now I know why, it was AWESOME!

Maddie and I went on the pirate ships and got thoroughly soaked, the only part of me that was dry was the part that maddie was sitting on. The second time we went around Nathan manned one of the cannons on the side, so we were even more soaked, but the best part of that was Maddies clear shock that "Daddy wet me!" She seemed so surprised and affronted by it, it was hilarious. A quick stint in the giant dryer dried us off a little bit before the sky's opened up and we all got drenched getting from the dolphin show at one end of the park all the way down to the car.

It was an awesome day and Maddie loved it but I'm not in a hurry to go back. Maybe when she is older after we go to the other parks.
