Sea World and Shamu

Well we made it back from Disney - Arturo was our rock, who drove most of the time and never complained once. The girls did incredibly well with the ride also and everyone had a great time. We went during a heat wave which wasn't so nice, but getting to meet the "real" princesses was definitely the highlight of the girls' trip. Emma kept wishing that we would the family "chosen" to stay in Cinderella's castle for the night, and was very disappointed when it didn't happen. We ate out so much we are still in detox from the junk and will be for a while!

We spent our first day in Orlando at Sea World, meeting Shamu and seeing the very well put together shows there.

Waiting for the Shamu show to start:

This was the highlight of the day for Emma. There is a ride very similar to Splash Mountain at Sea World and if you stand in the right spot, spectators can get splashed by the boats coming down the chute. Emma spent about 30 minutes here, jumping up and down in anticipation of getting splashed by the boats. That's right - $70 entrance fee for a 5 year old, and her highlight is getting splashed every few minutes...
