Seaworld and Downtown Disney

After Magic Kingdom we also went to visit Shamu at Seaworld. Here we are at the entrance, and guess who was there to greet us!




There are plenty things to do at Seaworld. For example, there are porcupines, sealions, crocidiles, flamingos, and other cool animals.


There's a cool dolphin show.


There are also birds who want to share your lunch. This may have actually been Eric's favorite part. He loves birds, and he spent quite a bit of time chasing this one around the tables at lunch.


Even Elmo and his buddies were visiting. They put on a great show for us, and Natalie got to visit with them!



Shamu and his buddies put on a great show. Natalie and Eric got to see him twice!




It was a long day, but the kids had a great time.


We also went to visit downtown Disney. We ate at a couple of pretty cool restaurants, and there were also plenty of shopping spots and treats to be had. Notice in the restaurant picture below that Eric is eyeing the smoking dessert and wondering why no one else is worried that it appears to be on fire.



There were plenty of treats to be had, with Natalie's favorite being the lollipop as big as her face.







There was also some serious swimming going on back at the hotel during the downtimes. Eric absolutely loved the kiddie area where he got to walk through the shallow pool and play with the water shooting out of the ground. Natalie also had a breakthrough when she swam by herself for the first time!








Thanks a ton to Grandma Ginny and Grandpa Steve for joining us on the inaugural trip to Disney World. We all LOVED having them along, and I hope they had a great time as well!
