Me and Anna ready for the show to start...
Anna's first roller coaster ride! A very cool (and surprisingly fast!) Shamu roller coaster in the little kid part of SeaWorld.
Kate's favorite was certainly the Sesame Street carousel. Just ask Daddy who rode it with her again. And, again. And, again.
On a lark, I asked Anna if she wanted to ride this roller coaster (for whatever reason, it had very low height requirements). I sort of said it jokingly, but she said yes! It took a bit of convincing once it got time to actually go, but she LOVED it! My adventurous girl...I have the feeling we're going to be skydiving together before I know it...
My girl coming down! This is the point where Mommy started to panic...
On the ground safely!
Anna with Cookie Monster and Zoe. Kate is the heat of her "terrified of live characters" phase, so she was having nothing to do with having her picture made with these guys...
Sorry for all the sideways pictures...I have to figure out how to fix this...
SHAMU!
My poor attempt for a pic of the girls with Shamu in the background. No one is looking at hte camera, and Shamu jumped back in the water. Fantastic.
Dippin dots! A requirements in what turned into a kind of warm May day....
Anna and Kate both had a blast on this GIANT climbing structure at SeaWorld. Made Mommy remember her new-found post-baby slight fear of heights....
More fun rides at SeaWorld. They had just opened their new Sesame Street section for the kiddos, and the girls LOVED it!
Doing a little splashing at the splash pad...
Anna feeding a dolphin. Definitely the highlight of the SeaWorld trip, at least for me!
Anna decided to try the big roller coaster one more time. This is the "before" picture...
...and, after! :-) Happy, adventurous girl!
