The kids with Monga and Papa. We walked under this lilac arch and it smelled so good we all stood under it and took pictures just to linger in the fragrance. It really did smell that good- like walking into a flower shop. mmmmm.
As the flamingo started walking toward them, Brooklyn's hand kept receding.
Beckam fell asleep in the stroller and when I peeked in on him this is what I saw.
Brooklyn doing back bends as we walked from one venue to the next. She was way too excited to see everything upside down.
The beluga whale was fascinating to Brooklyn- okay, to ME. They are as white as snow to blend in with the Arctic conditions. Beautiful! They swam right in front of us. Here we are below water level, but on top, there is no glass wall between you. It was awesome.
The Polar Bear walking right on past us. We got to pet it and everything.(Okay, obviously there was a wall here, but it almost looks like there isn't.)
The sun finally came out and we could take off coats for a minute. He was such a good boy the whole time- which was a good thing because I was having so much fun. Jason and I were like two kids in a candy shop running around trying to get to EVERYTHING.
This was a demonstration of how high the dolphins can jump.
Interested....but not easily ammused.
Meet Shadow and Duncan the dolphins.
This was at the Pet Show where they had trained cats and dogs doing all kinds of tricks. It was a cute show, but since Beckam had no idea what he was watching and couldn't see around other people's heads anyway, he just watched me the whole time.
The Great Shamu. I think I honestly loved Shamu this time around as much as I did when I went my first time in sixth grade. I was glued. It's so amazing that little tiny people actually train these huge animals to do this stuff.
Shamu up close and personal
Look at the difference between these two whales. And even the small one is pretty big!
Watch out Soak Zone!
Beckam just chowed this whole strawberry. cute!
Waiting for Shamu to show himself!
How sad that we white Utah folk couldn't even get some sun that day. We we're all bundled up instead to fight off the wind. Brooklyn had a little windmill that kept spinning around in her hand.
