outdoor fun

Sunday, September 7, 2008

Here are a few more pictures of SeaWorld. We had such a fun time there. Mommy took lots of video and pictures. We enjoyed our stay a lot. The attractions were very family friendly and we liked all that we saw.

The otters were fun to watch. This one seemed pretty content to just lay around and be lazy.
We were able to feed the dolphins. Look at this one. He looked right at us and I coul tell that he was smart. They did all kinds of flips and they caught the fish even when I threw it crooked. Wow! They are so cool!
Here is Lulu looking at the dolphins. We also were able to pet them. Their skin is smooth and rubbery.
This is a picture of Mommy almost touching a Bat Ray. We were able to feed them as well. I touched one and it was really soft. The water was very cold and it was hard to hold the fish to feed them. One Bat Ray ate right out of my hand and I felt its mouth around my hand as it sucked the fish out. It was weird.
Daddy fed the bat rays too. He was very patient. He held his fish and would wiggle it around and wait for them to come over. He didn't seem to mind the cold water much.

Sea World

SeaWorld was a blast. We all had such fun. All of us could ride on the rides and we enjoyed watching all the animals. The first thing we did was see the Sesame Street attraction. It has these fun rides that Mommy wouldn't go on because she didn't want to be sick. But Lulu, Daddy and I had fun.

Here is a picture of the tea cup ride. It spun really fast and made us a little dizzy.
Daddy has me on his shoulders so I can see the Sesame Street show a little better. They were singing and dancing. I even saw Elmo!
Here is the Gang. I loved seeing Elmo su much. Lulu really liked to watch Zoe. She even got her picture with her.

Lulu and I had our picture taken with Cookie Monster. She wasn't scared of him at all.

Lulu was too scared to hug Ernie and Bert, but I wasn't. I love watching Sesame Street on TV and to see them in person was AWESOME!
Here Lulu and Daddy are looking at and touching the starfish. They were a little pokey but really interesting.
I was able to touch a starfish too. Wow! There are so many things to see here at SeaWorld.Look at this silly little turtle poking it's head out of the water. This was a giant turtle. I was surprised to see how big they were.
You can't really see it, but there is a shark behind Lulu and I. They were cool to see, and their skin feels like sandpaper.

Lulu loved to watch the dolphins and whales do their tricks. She squeeled and clapped and even sang. She was so excited.

Here is SHAMU jumping out of the water. I think it might be fun to be a whale trainer when I grow up. I love SHAMU!
Here SHAMU is soaking all the people in the front row. Daddy and I went close to the splash zone, but we didn't really get wet.

"Hi Mommy!"

Do you know why flamingos are pink? Because they eat shrimp. Isn't that crazy. I love shrimpies and I ask for them when we go out to eat. (Even when I am at McDonald's).

This was our late night show, SHAMU Rocks. It was pretty neat to see all the tricks he could do and how high he could jump. The light show and music were pretty neat too. I liked to dance to the music. I had a fun time.

Our days at LEGOLAND

Here our some of our pictures that we took while we were at LEGOLAND. It was a lot of fun. It was amazing to see so many structures made out of legos. WOW! It was pretty hot, but we kept cool in the water areas. I rode on a lot of the rides and had a blast.





Here is Mommy, Lulu and I at the front entrance.



Look at this...All made of legos, this mommy and baby went well with our family...but we like our real mommy better!


Sitting at the entrance waiting to go it. I look like I am on top of a globe!


Lulu and I in a lego truck.
Check out this display...again, all legos. Do you think I could have a ride on the camel? It doesn't spit.
StarWars...Maybe I will be a future JEDI Knight and Lilly can be Princess LULU:)

Lulu had a lot of fun walking around and looking at all the cool displays and cities.


Here I am waiting so patiently for this ride to start. It was pretty fun. It


Jaws of peril! Look out Lulu!

As you can see, I am a fierce predator!

I met a real pirate!

Uh-oh! Mommy and Lilly were being naughty and they had to be locked up!

Here we all are in front of our nation's capital...once again...all legos. Wow!

After all the fun we had, I was plum tuckered out and I fell asleep waiting in line for a ride. Thanks Daddy for holding me.
















Visiting Aunt Maureen and Uncle Ross

We started off our California vacation by visiting my Aunt and Uncle. They are Great!!!! We had a fun time. First we visited the botanical gardens. They were beautiful.




Here is the entrance to the park. It was very big and Lulu lost her shoe.

Here is a picture of some of us. Aunt Maureen, Uncle Ross, Me and Daddy. Mommy had Lilly.



I am sad in this picture because I didn't want Daddy to leave me to go and find Lulu's shoe. Lulu was sad too, so we made a lot of people look at us with our crying.

This was a really pretty reflecting pool. It had a lot of pretty fish in it and the lilly flowers were pretty too. My aunt Maureen would come here when her daughter was young and draw, and relax. It is only about 10 minutes from their house.



Lulu loved the fountain. It felt nice to touch the water because it was really warm outside.




This was a lot of fun. There were a bunch of metal spikes inbetween those two walls and when you dropped rocks down, they hit the different lengths and made different sounds.



Me jumping off the sound wall. Wheeee!


Lulu's sillouette



My sillouette.



Uncle Ross



Lulu loved this little stature of a raven. She loves birdies.


Look at that cute little grin. I love my little sister.



Peek-a-boo!



Aunt Maureen and Uncle Ross have a nice pool in their backyard. We all had a lot of fun playing in it.



Splashing Daddy.
