Matthew petting the giant lizard:)
The baby flamingo followed his trainer everywhere and would hide underneath his legs, like he does his mommy:) Aww....
The lemur...
After lunch, we went on a "Behind the scenes" tour where we got to go visit several of the animals closer up and see what all goes on every day. It was a LOT of walking and very hot, but I think the kids enjoyed it. Here's a picture of a dolphin saying hello to us as we visited their pool.
Then we got to visit the stingray pool, which was neat, although the kids were hesitant at first to pet them. (If our faces look blue, it's because there was a blue tarp over us...it was great shade!)
Stopping for a rest (and a picture:) from all the walking all over the park!
We decided to take a rest and go visit Shamu and see the "Believe" show. We were brave and sat in the Splash Zone for a little extra cooling off. Little did we know that Matt would get drenched!
I think this is a neat picture...we made the TV screen! Haha...you can see me taking the picture on the screen and Daniel and Katherine behind the guy wearing the Texas shirt:)
Our last stop before we headed home was to take a family picture (I insisted, but you can tell they weren't really wanting to after a long but fun day)! Matthew was completely drenched (and so was I!!) from a water ride we went on 2 times! We had a great time though:)
Heading home...couldn't quite get the right angle to take this picture, but for some reason I really like it anyway.
Phew! What a fun day!
