Sea World

On October 13th, we took Hudson to Sea World. We had such a great time. Hud got to touch a salamander, alligator and kimodo dragon right when we walked in. Then Nic and I took turns going on the roller coaster. Then we touched the rays. Next we went to see the dolphins. Then we met up with Aunt Susannah, Will, Sam and Katrina to watch the Shamu show. We saw the sea lions, sharks, turtles (I think the turtles were Hud and Katrina's favorite this time), penguins, polar bears, walruses, and beluga whales. We took the kids to the Sesame Street area. We watched a little show and Hudson loved running around on this giant air pit with huge blocks. He could have run around in there for hours. We went back to see the dolphins one last time too before we left. The dolphins were playing with balls, which Hudson loved! I think he was more excited about the balls than he was about the dolphins. After a long, fun day, we drove back home. I love that we live somewhere were we can have these experiences with Hudson, we are very blessed. 

Sea World

On August 18th we went to Sea World. We had such a fun day! We went on the Manta Roller Coaster first, then went through the ray exhibit and even touched a few. Hudson loved watching them swim around, but kept getting scared when it came time to actually touch them. 

We saw the seals then watched the dolphin show. We met up with Aunt Susannah, Will, Sam and Nayara at the Dog show. Then Sheri, Chuck and Carlie met up with us at the Shamu show. 

After the show, we went to the Arctic exhibit to see the polar bears, beluga whales, and a hilarious walrus. (Carlie has a really cute video that I'll have to try to get from her)

Then we enjoyed the penguin exhibit. We also went through the turtle exhibit and shark encounter. 

We watched the Sea lion and Sea otter show and ended the day at the dolphin area.

Hudson seemed to be mesmerized by each aquarium and loved watching the animals underwater. He definitely liked the exhibits better than the shows, and I think he really had a fun day.
