SeaWorld

We finally renewed our annual season passes to SeaWorld, and went with the Garrison family on Sunday. We had so much fun! They completely re-did the kids area, Bay of Play, and it is AWESOME! So much fun. Ezra is tall enough to ride EVERY ride. I wasn't sure how he would be because when he was younger, he was scared of EVERYTHING! Now, it's like he is completely a different boy. So big, brave and independent. He rode every ride. He even went on the big ride, Journey to Atlantis, with Brent. That is the boat ride that goes up, spins around and plummets to the bottom and everyone gets wet. I was completely shocked.

This seal was HUGE

Bay of Play is so great, that you can spend your whole day there and not have to mess with any other area of SeaWorld. We rode rides, watched Elmo and his friends dance and played in the water the whole time. The only show we watched was the Sea Lion show. We also, for the first time, feed the dolphins and the sea lions. The kids had a blast! Everyone did so great. Even lil' Elynn was a trooper. She slept in the Bjorn most of the time, then I got her out to feed her and let her kick her legs in the stroller. Throughout the Bay of Play area are picnic tables and chairs in the shade. I was very impressed and happy about that. They even have a little water area for 3 and under, which is where Elynn and I sat and watched Emersyn run around in the water. She was a little intimidated by the bigger water area. *Side note: Emersyn was at the front of the stage before Elmo and friends came out. Once, the door opened, she screamed and ran to the back where I was. HILARIOUS!! The picture below is of her face the rest of the show.

Emersyn wasn't sure about them at all!

She loved it!

Ezra and Sydney (I think!)

Emersyn was even able to ride some rides. They have a cute carousel ride that she rode with Brent and Ezra. She also snuck on a ride that I am positive she wasn't tall enough for, but they let her on. In the picture it is so obvious she is not supposed to be on the ride. It goes up high and then drops, then goes back up and drops again. After we put her on, NO ADULTS with her, just her and ez, I completely thought she would have a melt down at the very top and try to get off. (I already played this HORRIBLE scene in my mind) However, she LOVED IT! She thinks she is so much bigger than she is. She didn't want to get off. Good times!

Emersyn could barley see over the bar. Pretty sure she wasn't supposed to ride this ride.

Ezra and Emersyn loved it! (can you even see her! HA!)
