Sea World San Antonio













Maddie and Aunt Vanessa








Dueling Nemo's

Walking advertisment for Sea World





Lunch with Shamu














Grammie treated the family to an adventurous day at Sea World. It was cold, no it was freezing! All day long we had freezing fog and drizzle. The park officials said they only had 700 visitors that day, so we essentially had the park to our selves. We a great time feeding the dolphins, and watching Vanessa almost lose a hand to a hungry dolphin that leaped through the air-dive bombing the tray of fish she was holding. I really wish we could have had that on video tape to see Vanessa's reaction-we could have easily won America's funniest videos. The highlight of the day was eating lunch with Shamu and his trainers. One because it was a hot lunch and two I was dining just feet from Shamu, who kept swimming by and would pick his head as to nodded and just kept on swimming. Then we got to visit one on one with his trainer and learn more about their jobs and got a behind the scenes tour. Fascinating Time!!! Madelyn now carries around a stuffed Shamu everywhere she goes and talkes non stop about the dolphins. Thanks for a great day Grammie!
