Sea World

I was looking forward to taking Ava to Sea World. I thought she would love seeing the Beluga whales because of the song "Baby Beluga". I also thought she would enjoy the shows and feeding the dolphins. Unfortunately, by the time we went to Sea World Ava was tired and overstimulated by our vacation that she did not have a good time and ruined it for everyone else. To be fair the day was not a couple loss and we did have a few good moments. I just had to deal with a lot of whining and fits, so we left early.

Ava and I watching the beluga whales. Ava is plugging her ears because there was some really loud music and sounds playing.

The walruses are behind us. Again Ava did not like the loud Arctic sounds being played in the exhibit.

Ava did not enjoy the animal close encounters. Here she is hiding from a gecko. I thought it was cool and was sad Ava was in such a bad mood.

Ava did like seeing the reindeer for about a minute.

Ava is clinging to me and telling me to go away from the llamas. I didn't listen and was determined to pet one.

Ava was not happy about going inside the penguin exhibit. Again I just made her tough it out. It is a neat exhibit, but the smell definitely let you know there were wild animals around.

At first Ava stayed in her stroller at the Turtle Reef exhibit. She didn't care to see the turtles until after we left the exhibit and then complained to go back in. I took her back in and then she was happy to see the turtles and "Nemo" and "Dori".

The dolphin feeding was closed due to construction, so I had to feed the sea lions. They were pretty loud and crazy. I also had to watch out for the white bird behind me. They snatch the feeder fish if you're not careful.
