Shamu!!

This past weekend we went to Sea World! It was so much fun (and a lot of work!) The kids loved it! We arrived in San Diego on Saturday and spent a few hours at Sea World and stayed Saturday night at a hotel and went back to Sea World on Sunday. Preston loved Shamu and the sharks. Ella's favorite were the penguins. Preston also loved touching the sting rays and the starfish. Aaden was such a good baby. He was perfectly happy the whole time!My parents came with us so the kids also loved spending time with their "Mama" and "Bumpa"!! It was a great weekend, but we were all exhausted when we got home. I think we are all still trying to recover!!

Really enjoyed your pictures and it is obvious that you all had a great time ! It is particularly great to see Preston having such a good time without any reactions. He will remember his experiences there for a long time as will Ella. Looks like grandma and grandpa had a good time too.

Could not leave well enough alone so I have changed our "profile name" once again. This should be it. Looking forward to a week-end of BBQing, peace and quiet. I understand the Valencia LaRoes are heading to the cool turf in Bkrsfld. Hope you remember your suits ! C-ya

I'm glad you guys had a good time. The kids are so cute! I haven't seen Shamu in 2 decades! It's also great to see that Mark and Gail were able to go.

so did you bring me anything back since I so selflessly volunteered to take care of the moose?
