On our way into the park, we stopped by the dolphin nursery where they had a few baby dolphins to look at. The boys thought it was really cool!
Here are the three older boys looking at the dolphins.
This is the best shot of one I could get.
We went to Shamu's Happy Harbor next. It was a great play place for the kids. There were nets to climb, slides, and a great sand box area. There were also lots of smaller rides they could ride on. Carter was a little short for most of them, so we spent our time playing. There was also a baby care center with changing tables and a nursing room, so I spent some time in there too!
Here is Cory with the two older boys climbing.
Of course, my kiddos loved the sand box! We spent almost an hour total here!
The dads, Ryan and Cory, relaxing and getting some fluids, it was hot today!
This is my favorite picture of Cole. He was awake a lot today and had a good time!
After leaving Shamu's Happy Harbor, we went to see Shamu the show! It was amazing. I remember watching it in San Antonio years ago, but this one was more theatrical and really good!

Once again, Ryan's camera is amazing!

The boys and I after the show...they loved it!
Later in the day we traveled all around the park checking out more animals. Cory even conned me into getting on this really big roller coaster. It was fine I guess, I am not big on roller coasters. But I didn't get sick and had an okay time :) Cory also took Caden on a boat water ride. Caden really liked it! After the rides, we went to see another show. This one was with dolphins, whales, and birds. It was absolutely amazing!
After that show we went to pet the Sting Rays. We were having a good old time, then Grammie decides we need to move over by where the food is and feed these guys some shrimp. I was standing back as not to get wet or get Cole wet and the next thing I know, I am being splashed a lot and poor little Carter is drenched. Apparently a couple of the sting rays got a little excited about the shrimp and splashed us quite a bit. Poor Carter wasn't very happy! We did buy him a t-shirt earlier and I had packed a clean pair of shorts, just in case...so he was dried off quickly! I on the other hand was damp and salty the rest of the day :(
The park closed at 6 and we were glad! We went home and let the kids swim a little, eat dinner, get bathed, and to bed early! We had an OSU game to watch...and it was on late in Florida! Here is a cute pic of the kids ready for bed!

At least the first part of your day was a good one. Probably should've stayed at the park a little longer, though! Fight Raiders Fight!!
Just Kidding! Looks like you guys are having a blast. We are very jealous of such a fun trip. Caden is probably in heaven.
Love,
Jennifer
That is a fantastic picture of your baby! What a cutie!
What a great trip and I love all the pictures! It is so wonderful getting to make memories with family. We hope to take a family Florida trip in a couple of years.
