Sea World Day 2

We went back to Sea World on our 2nd day in San Diego.

At Ally's request we started with the Dolphin exhibit and education presentation again. 

While we were waiting for the show to start Ally got a close up look at them

And a Becky's luck continued! She got soaked before the show even started. The young dolphins some times make an errant tail splash. She was not pleased. Ally and I thought it was hilarious. We did bring spare clothes for both her and Ally today. 

The Dolphins were not interested in being touched today but it was a fun presentation and just to be clear about how wet Becky got here is another picture:

Absolutely soaked. So the fantastic mama she is, she asked Ally if she wanted to sit in the Spash zone for the dolphin show. 

There they are in the front row!!!

I sat much farther up with our stuff you can see them down at the bottom left in the above picture.

Can you see Becky? She was getting absolutely drenched.

The pilot whales were beautiful.

After the dolphin show we went directly to the sea lion show. They were wet but happy!

After the show Becky and Ally changed into dry clothes (that we had brought with us) and headed to the arcade. Ally loves arcades and had specifically asked to go there today.

I lost.

Ally's favorite game was this wheel thing to win tickets.

She was thrilled to win the 250!!!

After a bit we went to the pet show.

It was pretty cute, dogs and cats performing a live show. But it was hot and no shade so after the show we headed to the Arctic exhibit.

Beluga whales, walruses and polar bears!

There was even a wall of ice!

Then it was back to the arcade. Ally tried to climb the ladder.

But even she couldn't do it in 3 tries. It's a wobbly rope ladder.

Back to the wheel spinner. See her intense concentration.

And thrill of waiting.

Glee at a good number!

Back to the ball toss.

And hoops!

Another spinner.

Finally, our money spent, Ally cashed in her tickets. 

Yes that is right, she earned 981 tickets!!!

She used the tickets to "buy" a bunch of stuff. I was pleased she bought a few things to give to her friend Daniela when we got home. 

All in all a fun day! As we walked out to the car thru the parking lot Ally said to me "I really want to do a cart wheel" I told her to go ahead and she did! Right there on the asphalt. Such a happy girl.
