San Diego - 4: Sea World & Boogie Boarding

We took the kids to Sea World on Wednesday. They connected with the animals and liked the rides. My favorite part remains the dolphin show, though it wasn't as showy as in years past as the park moves to a more educational format. Sadly, there were no water acrobatics. But seeing the dolphins, orcas and whales jump and play is quite impressive regardless.
 Edison was so brave about touching the bat rays and also the cleaner fish.
 Charlotte's favorite part was being tall enough to ride the Manta roller coaster. She went five times!

 This river ride was closed last year, so I was really excited to try it out this year. Totally fun with the kids on a hot day.
There is a cool gondola ride over Mission Bay as part of SeaWorld. We had amazing views.


 On Thursday we hit the beach. Edison and Charlotte tried boogie boarding with great success. Charlotte's light weight and super kick led to nice rides for her until she got too cold and came in. Edison spent a lot of time practicing and figuring out how to catch the waves. He and Eben had a lot of fun in the water together.


Sadly, my camera battery died at this point and we have no more pictures of our second visit to Legoland and our final sunset at La Jolla. But, we always have the memories!
