Bryan and I aren't into theme parks. The only one we like is Seaworld. We have been maybe 4 times in the 10-11 years we have been together. I know sooner or later we'll have to do Disney or Universal but for now we wanted to take the girls to Seaworld. Of course, they know PENGUINS. They have about 25 stuffed penguins. So today was our first visit to Seaworld with the girls.
As the Shamu show started, Almari was a bit apprehensive when the film as being played but as soon as Shamu swam through the gate she was hooked. She would giggle, point, hop around, wiggle, smile, you name it she did it. I was crying watching her reactions. I love animals and my biggest fear was that the girls wouldn't dig them as much as I do. Well so far, so good. Shamu was a hit. She learned to say "shamu". The shark experience was a big hit. She was in total awe in the penguin experience. She would point and smile. We stayed in there about 10 minutes watching the penguins. Alex was also captivated by the animals.
After the penguin experience, Alex was dead tired but couldn't fall asleep. This made for one miserable child, so we knew it was time to leave. It wasn't cute as we headed out of Seaworld with one child screaming at the top of her lungs yet the other was passed out with her had on the stroller tray. Mommy was losing her cool and getting frustrated. I know I have to get better but her screams can wake the dead. Everyone was staring at us as we walked to the exits. They would look at us like "do something". Well at this point, all we could do was exit FAST. We both tried to comfort her, carry her, sit with her and feed her but all she wanted was sleep but couldn't fall asleep. We left the park shortly before 4pm. Thankfully the screaming stopped when we got into the car but she just laid there looking like a zombie. We feed them around 5:30 and we figured she would then finally fall asleep. That didn't happen. She finally fell asleep around 6:45pm when we were getting to Boca Raton.
A good day with some Alex moments thrown in.
