Monday night after our day at Magic Kingdom, we met up with our good friends, Jen, Clyde, and Aedan. They came over to stay at the resort Monday night so we could get up in the morning and hit SeaWorld. SeaWorld is a can't-miss for Jon and we were excited about checking it out the kiddos :)

We got up early again and it the road... after trying to sneak Jackson in - surprise, he doesn't pass for under three - we made it in.
























The first thing we did was check out the Clyde and Seymour show (seal and walrus), which was a hit because of it's pirate theme. The animals are cool, but the highlight was the audience participant who looked a lot like Santa... hehe. We also caught the Shamu show, but it's not nearly as entertaining now that people don't swim with the killer whales.





























In addition to the animal shows, we checked out baby dolphins, the penguins and the Wild Arctic exhibit, which was my favorite because you get to see the giant walruses up close.

Jackson had a great time at Shamu's Happy Harbor... it's the kiddie area with lots of stuff to climb on, sandboxes, and big slides.




















Jackson also got his first try at games. We got a free try at the frog toss (he lost), but Jenny let both Jack and Aedan give a go of "pick the penguin." In this game, everyone wins and gets to pick out a prize, and Jen and I won, too, because Jackson and Aedan won the same size prize, lol. Jack picked out a black penguin he named Aedan. Jackson also had his first go at skee-ball :)




















We had a good time being silly and enjoying each other. And, near the end of the day, I got up the nerve and rode the new roller coaster, Manta, with the boys... not once, but twice! Go me!

























































After the ride, it was time to head out... everyone was exhausted, especially, Mary Grace, lol.
