This is a first for both Landin and Ashlynn. On our vacation, we made a stop at Sea World and make the most of the day. First stop, seeing the Beluga whales. We had an inside connection that allowed us to be able to go back to the training tanks and get up close and personal with the whales. It was awesome. We were able to touch them and they gave us a kiss. It was awesome! Next, we went to feed the dolphins. Ashlynn tried to get in the water with them, which was quite hilarious, but Landin had a blast feeding the dolphins. He was sort of afraid to feed them, that they might bite, so he kept just dropping the fish in the water, but it was great nonetheless. After that, we went on a mini rollercoaster and loved it! Then...the best part. We went and did the "Dine With Shamu" event. It was the best. We had a great lunch and were just two feet away from the whales! We got to see three whales, right there next to us. The trainers had them do some tricks for us and we learned some things about them. Landin was absolutely amazed at the whales. We went to the Shamu show afterwards and sat upwards enough that we thought we'd be a little safer than most, but we were surely mistaken. Landin and Auntie got SOAKED!!! I got the back half of me soaked as I had my back turned so that I could cover Ashlynn. She got a little wet, but she did okay with it. The ice cold water was certainly welcome though, considering it was 103 degrees (not including the heat index)!!! Afterwards, it was off to see the otters, seals and sea lions...quite entertaining. We made our last stop at the beluga and dolphin show. It was an awesome day, and so worth the heat and sweat!!!
