SeaWorld

Since we were so close, we visited SeaWorld before heading back to Gainesville. We had tried to go on the Monday of Spring Break, but it was pouring rain so we decided against it. This time, it was beautiful. A bit on the warm side, but a great day to be at the park.

No need for a triple stroller when all three ride semi-comfortably in the Sit-n-Stand. And it was Charlotte’s first theme park experience. I’m sure she’ll remember the day fondly. :-)

Shamu’s Happy Harbor was pretty empty first thing in the morning so we rode the boat, Shamu Rollercoaster, and the carousel. Rosemary rode Shamu twice, once with me in the front row and then again with Grandpa! Ben wanted to ride, but he’s still got a few more inches to go.

After the rides we headed over to catch the Shamu show.

Charlotte watched a bit.

But the big thing was that Ben and Rosemary sat in the splash zone for the first time. I knew that day would come sooner or later. Jonathan was the lucky one that got to sit with them and get drenched in salty, cold, whale water.

So fun and they all got super wet.

After the show we ate some lunch then the kids played on the playground and in the splash park. Then we headed back to the condo to pack up. Rosemary went swimming with my parents (she’s getting much more independent in the water!) while Ben ‘helped’ us. He was crazy with no nap. As soon as we were packed, we headed back home after an amazing weekend.
