Lots of Playtime in Sea World

When we first entered Sea World, Caleb informed us that he wanted to ride a roller coaster.  He wasn't tall enough to ride the large roller coasters so we had him start off with the small Shamu Roller Coaster.  He hasn't been on many rides, and liked this one but he wasn't quite as excited for the big roller coasters afterwards., but couldn't wait for all the fun water rides!

The "Shamu Express"
Caleb was big enough for the "Journey to Atlantis".  At first he was thrilled but as we were strapping him in, he wasn't so sure this would be fun.  At one point on the ride we did go downhill, backwards and he started to cry.  Fornunately they sent us down the splash hill forward so he stopped crying until he starting screaming with all of us.  It was really fun to do a ride as a family but Caleb has informed us that he needs to be bigger to ever do that again.  We could have bought a picture of us on the ride and Caleb's face was great.  He did look pretty terrified!  But we were proud of him for trying it out.

Sesame Streets "Bay of Play" was really fun and was a great stop in the middle of the hot afternoon.  It was nice to cool down and just play.
This was Caleb's favorite ride and we got to do it a couple of times, the "Rio Loco".  We got so wet as our whole family ended up getting drenched by the waterfall.  It was a fun rafting ride and so fun to get to hang out together as a family. 

As they say "The Family that Plays Together, Stays Together" and we had so much fun playing together!  I truly believe that saying is true and it was so fun to make lasting memories together and just laugh and play!  Sometimes you really do just need to Play!

  2. I thought it was "the family that sautés together stays together" or maybe "the family that pays together stays together" -- encouraging families to share the cooking duties and to go Dutch, respectively.
