Following the lives of the Logans!

Sea World


Today’s adventure was Sea World – the last time we were at a Sea World was 1976 so a return was definately in order. Our Christmas gift to the family was entrance to the park so we were excited to spend the whole day with them. We got to pet stingrays and dolphins and generally get into “being near lots of sea creatures”.

sw27Pet’s Ahoy was our first stop. We enjoyed the cats and dogs, pot bellied pig and assorted other critters. These skipping dogs were amazing.

One Ocean feature show with Shamu and others was thrilling. Those whales can really perform and splash. People in the bottom 20 rows were in the soak zone and did they ever get wet.

sw15Shark Encounter was an underwater viewing tunnel with awesome vantage points to see sharks and sawfish. The girls both managed to find their way into a shark’s jaws!

One location provided the opportunity to feed the dolphins and Madeline, Sophia and Andrea all got a chance to do that.

Of course I am always on the lookout for birds – I don’t know why but I always think they make great photographic subjects. I did get to see a few great ones here too!
