Seaworld

We spent the day at Seaworld on Monday!
welcome to Seaworld!
we were all ready for a great day!
I think it is so cute that the first thing Evan wants to do is look at the map.  I guess he was trying to figure out everything he wanted to see!
we made a quick stop in the Sesame Street Bay of Play for a ride on Elmo's flying fish
I was so excited for the boys to feed the dolphins but that experience is no longer offered. But we did get a good look at the dolphins and the boys thought it was so funny that they got splashed!
watching the dolphins
the boys loved being so close to the animals
my Evan!
getting ready for the dolphin show
amazing!  we all loved the show!
Grandpa gave the boys a ride through the park
Alex checking out the sea turtles 
it has been a tradition (that Wes started) that he will try to make a basket to win an animal
Daddy won me a Shamu (and one for Alex too)
Daddy and Alex
taking a look at an australian iguana

more fun at Seaworld

I love the Shamu show!  I think these whales are amazing!
we couldn't see Evan in the stroller with the 2 whales and 3 birds that were riding with him...the boys won the birds playing games!
awe!!!  big hugs for Daddy
back to the Sesame Street area for some more rides
Abby's sea star spin...this makes mommy dizzy

We were expecting another beautiful day on Tuesday so we decided to go to the San Diego Zoo

Alex always says his favorite animal is the gazelle ... see him in the background
Grandpa and Evan got a good look at the zebras
having a great day

Evan getting a ride on Daddy's shoulders
checking out the orangutans 
we stayed and watched them for a long time...it was entertainment!
checking out the map!
silly Evan
Evan has talked about getting his face painted since it was painted at Farrah's birthday party.  I told him he could have it painted in San Diego.  He did not forget!
sitting so still
Alex chose a dragon 
Evan wanted his face painted like Spiderman
walking to the car after a great day at the zoo
Moose enjoying San Diego too
the trip isn't the same unless Moose goes with us
Evan fell asleep in the car and we he woke up from his nap he didn't want me to wash off his face painting
I told him he could wear it until bedtime and he told me he could sleep on his back so it wouldn't come off LOL!!
still wearing the face paint....it looks so funny in this picture.
Evan did have his face washed before he went to bed
