The Dolphins were amazing to watch

Oh my goodness where to begin?! We left for San Diego bright and early Friday morning and arrived there a quick 5 hrs and 20ish minutes later! Boy did we have a great time!! Despite all the RAIN the kids were in good spirits!!
Brayden's favorite animals were the SHARKS! When we went back the 2nd day that is ALL he wanted to see! He didnt really care much to see the other animals... silly! Brooke loved the Penguins! We actually got to see them getting fed the 2nd morning we were there. It was pretty cool to see how they could force these big 'ol fish down their tiny little throats!
Of course we went to all the shows! Shamu was super impressive and the dolphins could sure jump high, but surprisingly to us, our favorite show was the Sea Lions. They were so funny and little sea otters joined them a few times. So cute! We also saw a 4D Sesame Street movie and a Pet/Dog Show that were pretty cool.
I am so glad that we got a 2 day pass because really we could not see it all in 1 day. The funniest part of the whole trip though, was the 1st day when we sat down to lunch. Brayden got a personal pizza and all the sudden a big Seagul swooped down and snatched it right off the table!! Brayden was devistated to say the least! He sat there for a good 15 minutes just staring at the bird with a sad face saying "the bird ate my pizza!" We tried to ask him if he wanted another one, something else? No response. Poor guy. haha (Sorry for all the pictures but we took 94, it was hard to choose them!! lol)

haha yea the whole park wasnt very busy! I think because of the weather, but it made it nice for looking at the animals there wasnt a ton of people crowding around.
