Sea World

We had taken Lincoln to Sea World when he was a baby but Logan had never been.  As suspected Logan wasn't too into many of the exhibits.  They only held his attention for a minute.  Lincoln did much better and seemed to enjoy watching the animals more.  Lincoln's favorite was watching the penguins and touching the bat rays.  He could've done both for hours if we let him.  Logan's favorite part seemed to be feeding the sea lions.  He was quite entertained by watching them swim, bark, jump around and beg for food.  I really liked the dolphin show. It's new and has a little Cirque du Soleil feel to it. Overall it was a successful day in the park and hopefully was a good experience for the boys and created happy memories.

 Logan was not impressed that we had to sit and wait for shows to start.  He liked them once the show got going. 

 Shamu Show

 There were a few exhibits up close for the boys which made it easier for them to be engaged. 

We snuck in a couple rides - daddy was a good sport and went on a ride that went in circles.  He was sick for a little while after the ride but it sure made Logan happy that they went on it.

 Both boys were beat by the mid afternoon rolled around.  Lincoln picked out these cool sunglasses for himself. 

Logan sneeking in a rest, and shade, while waiting for the dolphin show. Look at his little red cheeks.

 The boys observing the bat rays. I think they were a little hesitant at first to touch them. 

 Lincoln was really brave and quickly got the hang of it. 

I love Lincoln's profile smile in this picture.  

Logan eventually got up the courage to touch them.

 This smile makes it all worth it. 

 Logan wasn't happy that he wasn't tall enough to go on the huge roller coaster.  In his dare devil mind he should've been able to go. The requirement is 48 inches and he was meeting the 37 inch mark. 

 Pretty cool kid.

Shark Tank

 It was also refreshing to walk along the ocean water on the backside of sea world.  

 This picture along the water is always a tradition for us.  

 I love this little photo shoot of the boys. This is right before we left Sea World for the day so I'm surprised they had any energy left at all. 

 I love my boys!

 They were trying to be on their best behavior to earn some candy.  Funny the things they'll do for sugar. 

That evening we met Grammy at TGIF for dinner.  We celebrated both of the boys birthdays with a little ice cream Sunday for dessert. 

   Grammy came back to the hotel with us for a couple more hours of visiting and play time.

It was a nice visit and the boys loved playing with her.
