Sea World

We had passes to Sea World that expired on the 31st so we went on the 30th! We didn't get there until 2:30 and then just enjoyed walking around and seeing a few shows. I love that theme park because it's not big, you don't have to rush around to DO everything there and you can just relax and take in the amazing shows. I'm still in awe of how they train these enormous killer whales to push them around, jump up, slide on their bellies, etc...my thought while watching the show is what was that first moment like for one of the trainers to be in the water with that whale. I cannot fathom the moment you are in your wetsuit and jump in the water with a creature that could swallow you whole! It's amazing to me. One of the coolest things of the day was the special night holiday Shamu show they had. On the big screens they showed different Christmas quotes and then even quoted from Luke. Then there was a choir singing and the songs they did included "Oh Holy Night" and "Silent Night." At the end, they even had all of us stand to sing "Joy to the World". We were SO impressed at how much they included the true reason for Christmas. We will definitely go back...Ella really liked it but I just know as she gets bigger it will be more and more fun!

Not a great shot but our only family one!
