Sea World - October 2009

I love Sea World. I love the fact that we have been able to go back so many times this year. I just happened to stumble across a special AAA was offering....buy a one day pass to Sea World and get in for the rest of 2009 for FREE! That is the type of deal I am always looking for.

We decided to go back in October as the entire park was decorated for Halloween. It was a gorgeous day in San Diego. The temperature was in the mid 70s (one of the perks of living in Southern California). This was probably one trip to Sea World where we all had so much fun and laughed so hard. I love that the kids are getting older and yet I'm sad. They are so much fun to be around and make me laugh every day!

Our first stop was the Atlantis ride where we all got very wet. Then we watched a few shows, looked at some amazing animals and ventured over to the jungle gym type structure. We decided this day that each person got to pick one thing they really wanted to do and everyone would go along and enjoy. Well....Brandon picked the jungle gym. Let's just say those things are not designed for grown people to climb through. I had bruises on my knees for days after from all the crawling we did. I don't think I have laughed that hard in a long time. I sure don't know how kids do it. I guess they just don't think about the pain!

We ended our day trick-or-treating through the park. They had stations set-up around parts of the park where kids could trick-or-treat. It was a really cute idea. They also had cupcake decorating. Mady was all over that. No surprise there since she wants to be a pastry chef when she gets older.


Note to anyone climbing in one of these things....
grown feet get stuck in the holes of the net very easily!

Scott and I laughed so hard while attempting to keep up with the kids in the jungle gym.

Here's what the kids looked like after the second time on the Rapids ride. Apparently the first time they didn't get wet enough. Let's just say on the ride home they had to strip down and wear blankets in the car because their clothes were so wet!

I just love my crazy family!
