Yesterday we decided to use one of our SeaWorld passes. We only made it through the 12:30pm Shamu show and had to go home after that. Record temperature highs in Orlando this week make it really hard to be outside for more than a few hours. The boys did the Journey to Atlantis flume ride first and go soaking wet. So, on top of being hot, they were both uncomfortable. As Bob said -- it was a Catch 22 -- sit in the sun to dry and you sweat so much that you're wet again.
Kudos to SeaWorld for a really really nice baby care and nursing center where we cooled off and Palmer ate breakfast. Its located in the children's area of the park so Connor got to do some fun rides there.
The Shamu show was awesome. I have to admit that when Shamu is in the house, I am like a child. I am just blown away by those animals and the folks who train them. It leaves me speechless. Connor sat in the front row "soak zone" alone and I sat about 10 rows back to keep an eye on him. He was bound and determined to get splashed by a beast and he got his wish. He also drove the ushers, drinksellers, and trainers crazy with a myriad of questions. I love that he is not shy and did not seem to mind for one second that he was down there alone. The people around him must have been wondering what the hell he was doing there by himself. But no one asked him--I checked.
One last observation of importance. Whomever invented Dippin Dots Rainbow Ice should not have to pause at the pearly gates for any discussion of any type with St. Peter. Immediate, unconditional entry should be granted. I'm just sayin'.
