SeaWorld!

I forgot to post this little quote from Liam as we were leaving 29 Palms.  While we were driving we saw a couple of cement trucks and Liam said "I didn't know there were two in the world"  It was hilarious.  We then explained that there were many cement trucks in the world.  Sweet boy.

We arrived at the park right when it opened at 10:00am.  It was the actual day of their 50th Anniversary.  I was a little worried it would be crazy crowded but even if it is crowded at SeaWorld it is still easy to maneuver and you never have to worry about lines :)
We immediately showed the boys the little fish in the large tank. Colin was LOVING it.
We passed a little snack place and Liam originally wanted some Cheetos, then he saw these giant cookies.  So he changed his mind and was a very happy boy

The first show was with the Orcas.  Liam ready to watch with everyone
Sweet guy
Colin wanted to see everything!
The best part was how people in the soak zone don't think they are really going to get wet.  Then once they get absolutely drenched they try and take off running to escape it.  I mean seriously there are signs and they warn you before the show.  So it cracked us up watching people sprint as fast as they could to escape the water.
Amazing creatures
Boys watching
Colin absolutely loved the sea lions, they were the favorite by far!
Liam feeding the sea lions
Colin's turn
We literally had to pull him away and he was a little upset but not too bad.

We were going to attempt to take boys back to hotel and get naps but every time Chris and I think we have things planned out it backfires so Liam skipped his nap and we tried to get Colin to sleep in the stroller.  Colin didn't fall asleep right away so we went to the last show we needed to see.  Then we let Liam run around in the play area while G&G walked with Colin and he quickly crashed.
Liam loved his freedom but it was hard to keep track of him which made me a little nervous.

Liam decided he wanted to go play in the splash area so we took off his shoes and let him run.
He did soak his t-shirt which resulted in a new shirt.  Then we went to find G&G and Colin.  He looked so SWEET sleeping
My precious baby
While G&G stayed with Colin we took Liam up into the Sky Tower that goes up 320 ft and you can see the whole park and surrounding area.  He was pretty exited to get on.
Then we checked out the dolphins
Liam and daddy running
Liam did some running in a grassy spot and a little relaxing.
This boy remained asleep
We went to the store on the way out and Liam had waited all day to pick something out.  He was very patient about it.  Then as we were getting ready to head out they brought in a giant bubble maker/show for the kids.  Liam was lucky enough to get picked to help make some bubbles
This is what he helped produce by spinning the wheel
Then he took off to help leap in the air and pop them
This little guy eventually woke up and I gave him his new little Shamu animal.  He liked it :)
Family photo attempt, the sun was directly in our eyes and Liam decided to keep turned the other way.
Sweet boy
Boys leaving with G&G after a GREAT day!

We left and went to Olive Garden for dinner.  I know, nothing very exciting but with two tired boys it was the easiest family friendly place. Then we all crashed immediately once we got back to the hotel!
