About Jake
Today we went to Sea World. This was Jacob's first visit. We got to go because Papa's work had a "play day" there, so Mommy, Daddy, Nani, Papa, Uncle RJ, Auntie Sonnia, her mama and Uncle Eddie all went. The first show were saw was "Pets Rule" There were doggies, kitties and birdies (and one piggy) in there show. I think Jacob like the birds the best. He really didn't get excited until the end of the show when the animals came out to take a bow...that's when he started waving at them. Then we headed over to see the dolphins. Those dolphins are AMAZING. Jacob just stared the whole time while sitting on Nani's lap. The best part about that show was when the dolphins got the crowd wet. We were sitting high enough that we didn't get wet, but those dolphins really hit one of the sections HARD. They kept splashing and splashing. Those poor people were DRENCHED! But I guess they loved it otherwise they wouldn't have sat there. After that show we rushed over to see the sea otter show. They were kind of boring and Jacob was getting a little anzy. He just wanted to get up and walk around. After the otters we saw the main show...Shamu! Before the show Jacob was able to walk around a little to stretch out his legs. I think he like the show. He was pointing to Shamu at certin points. Later in the afternoon we went to see the sharks, penguins and polar bears. Jacob LOVED the sharks and kept pointing to them as they swam near us. I think that was his favorite part of the day. Of course Nani bought him a shamu stuffed animal. You can't go to sea world and not get a shamu stuffy!
The weather was great for the most part. It was cool and cloudy and then just as we were about ready to leave it started to drizzle. The big boys had to play some carnival games and while they played the rain came down pretty hard. Luckily, mommy brought the rain gear for the stroller so Jacob didn't get wet at all. We walked VERY fast to the car and drove home. We had a great time and Jacob saw animals he had never seen before. Thank you to Papa for getting us tickets! I'm sure we will be back again, and we know Jacob will be wanting to sit in the Soak Zone to get wet by the dolphins and Shamu. So until next time...mommy and daddy love you!
