Day 3 - SEA WORLD

Today started with Brody telling us again he wanted the green game. We told him we were on our way to a very fun day and we were sure he would find something just as wonderful as the green game.

We were off to Sea World for a day of fun. We were all very excited and ready to get the day started. Sea World is not exactly how I remembered it. Of course, it has been about 17 years since I was there. Since we went after Labor Day, several of the shows were out of season. I think we walked around like little lost puppies for awhile until we finally found our groove.

Brody wanted to get in the water park so bad so we put his swim trunks on and off he went. However, he did not want to get wet. He finally started getting in the water, turned around to look at us and hit his head on a metal bar. I could not get to him fast enough. The water park was over. We put his shirt and shoes on and kept walking. He kept crying because he did not want his swim trunks on. He did not want to be wet. We found a restroom, took them off and put his shorts back on and off we went.

We finally started getting to the shows at the right time. He enjoyed most of the shows but his favorite was the penguins. Our final show was Shamu and then we surprised him with dining with Shamu. That was a wonderful experience. We had a wonderful dinner and we were able to see the whales up close and personal. They were about 3 feet from us. Brody was a little nervous but he really enjoyed it.

Brody had a great day. We loved seeing the smile on his face and his pure excitement. I was not able to get very many pictures because he told me again that we did not have time for pictures. I am sure he has heard that somewhere. I was able to snap a couple of pictures along the way.

We headed back to our hotel and Brody fell fast asleep. As soon as we pulled into the parking lot, he woke up and informed us we needed to go and get the green game. Off to the market we went again. I told him if he could find it, he could have it. He said "momma, it is in the white building." He went right to the green game. A wrestling ring with the men. He loves it, plays with it all the time. He played with it all the way home.
