SeaWorld...

And yes, we have too many posts named "seaworld.." but again, that's what happens when you get suckered into a season pass. May as well make good use of it! The park is only open on weekends through the end of the year, but for halloween they have opened it on a few fridays too. We decided last night would be a great night to try to go and the kids really wanted to wear their costumes. They had a blast running around and playing. Molly got a little bit of a second wind and when we got there. During the day she had only had a 30 minute nap and then fell asleep about 10 minutes before we drove into the parking lot. She woke up when we put her in the stroller and when we were leaving at 10 pm she was still awake in the car talking up a storm. I think all the kids enjoyed the night and so did Joe and I.....

{ps... sorry if the pictures aren't that great, we have noticed that our camera really sucks!!! and it seems too that we could never get everyone to look at the camera at the same time!}






There is a big play area for the kids, and the big kids too (joe). It's a whole bunch of cargo nets and tunnels and slides. It was a great spot to wear the kids out; mom and dad too. Joe got suckered in and the Nicholas suckered me in to follow him. I should have learned my lesson a long time ago when we were playing at some other tunnels, but he loves to take me through the whole thing by telling me that it's just a little farther each time... maybe it's payback? ha! Anyway, it was fun to goof around with them!


Molly enjoyed watching everyone climbing around, but it was really hard to get her to stand still so I could get a decent picture of her in her costume. It's pretty obvious to tell what she it, but it would have been nice to get a good picture :)


The last time we went and saw the Shamu show, Caroline left really upset because we didn't get wet. There is a "splash zone" where the whales will splash the crowd... so last night she and i tried to sit up close so we could get wet. Nicholas, Molly and Daddy were sitting up a little higher. For a while there was no one in front of us and then a couple kids jumped in.. BUT... we didn't get wet!!!!!!!! The whales came and splashed but totally missed us!! (thank goodness!) but Caroline was again, very upset that she didn't get wet... darn whales! The show was really neat.. much more exciting then the normal "believe" show... lots up jumps and tricks. All in all we had a really great night and the kids had fun..
