The Happiest Place on Earth

last weekend we got to tag along with Dad, Sari, Steven and Chelsa to san diego for a super quick vacation.

dad was going scuba diving so while he was playing around under the ocean the rest of us got to go to the happiest place on earth.

most definitely not disneyland, i'm talking about MY happiest place on earth.

SEAWORLD!

seaworld totally kicks disneyland's butt!

even though the trainers don't swim in the water with shamu anymore (which is totally lame) i'm still in awe when i see these giant guys do tricks.

then when we went to the up close tank shamu was being so laaaaazy.

he was just swimming around upside down the entire time we watched and then after we had walked away he started doing tricks.

of course.

probably one of my favorite pictures of Matt ever!

he was copying that starfish.

we were a little confused by the dolphin show too.

for some reason there was more people jumping and spinning and flying around than dolphins jumping and spinning.

the sea lion show has always been the best!

i just love that little otter!

SHARKS!

Chelsa and Matt were very excited about the kangaroo baby.

all the rides had extra long lines that we didn't want to wait in but we did end up waiting for the sky ride at the very end of the day.

Chelsa and Sari rode together without Steven because he's a big baby that won't get on any rides.

there they are!

and here we are!

it was a great ocean animal filled day and we loved every minute of it!

especially the minutes we were enjoying frozen lemonade.
