Sea World

Last week while the Jeff, Ann and the kids were here we went to Sea World. I had never been to Sea World and was so excited. I was not excited about being out in the 100 degree weather. Do you think Sea World has ever considered having an indoor park?

I have a good friend, Tricia, that is a Sea Lion trainer at Sea World. She went to Tech and was a zoology major. She started working at Sea World when she graduated and has worked with many different animals. I love her because she is just as big of a Tech fan as I am.

Tricia totally hooked us up. We got to meet the Beluga Whales and Sea Lions. Caroline loved it, actually we all loved. They were so cute and really friendly. One of the Whales just had a baby so we got to see the little baby. So cute!!! The other cool thing was when Tricia gave one of the Whales the guns up sign she whistled. When you give her the thumbs up she boos. It was so cool.

We all got kisses from a Beluga and Caroline got to feed the whale fish. I took about 40 pictures of the Belugas, but only a few turned out. The lighting wasn't the best. Maybe Ann got some good ones.


Next, we got to meet a Sea Lion. We got to meet Hunter and he was really funny. I really enjoyed the Sea Lion. So cute and playful. Caroline feed Hunter lots of fish. She was really good at tossing the fish to Hunter. She has a future as an animal trainer.


John was less impressed with the Sea Lion. I think it might have scared him a little. Hunter was a lot bigger than him and someone may have mentioned that the walrus that was standing by might like to eat him.


Who cares if he didn't like the Sea Lion. He is still so darn cute!!!
