Sea World

(sorry its taken so long to get this post up, had problems down loading pics)

The first real fun place we all went to was Sea World. I think of all the places we visited (there wasn't many) this was Amies favorite. She has a huge thing for "fishies" and boy did she get to see her fair share of them. The first fishies we saw was the Dolphins (I know these arn't really "Fish"), Amie just oooh'd and Aaaah'd at how neat they were. She had never seen Dolphins in person before, only in books! She was so excited, she giggled, pointed, and ran around looking at them shouting, "Dolphin, dolphin, oooh dolphin yeah!". As a matter of fact almost all of the fish made her laugh, smile, and jump for joy.

She absolutely loved the shows as well, we saw the seal show, the pet show and the whale show. She watched the seal show in pure amazement. The look on her face priceless, almost like she couldn't believe what she saw! I don't think she could, after we saw the huge albino seal that was twice the size of the other seals!

She also enjoyed walking down to visit the seals. We arrived right around feeding time so they were barking and grunting for food that could be purchased as the birds waited to patiently to swoop in and steal the fish. When the feeding frenzy started birds were flying everywhere! At one point a bird flew so close to me that its wing hit me in the head. Amie loved this so much, she had never seen anything like it before!

After the seal show we saw many more different types of fish. She spend most of the morning walking right up to the aquariums and pushing her face up against the glass in awe. Slowly though she became more terrified of the fish inside of the aquarium the closer it came to nap time. It got to a point where she wouldn't even go near them unless she was being held. One Animal that Amie was quite terrified of was the walrus's. They fed right up against the glass and spooked Amie so bad she began to scream! Luckily for us, soon after she passed out!

We all enjoyed Sea world very much, it was a great first visit for Amie. She has a great love for Fishies and other animals.
