SSSSSSSSSEEEEEEEEEEEAAAAAAAAAAAAAA WWWWWOOOOOOOOOOOORRRRRRRRRRRLLLLLLLLLLLDDDDDDDDDDDD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

YAY! TURTLES! MANATEES! PENGUINS! POLAR BEARS! WHALES! SEALS! DOLPHINS!

um, went to sea world today. :D pleasant. i really do think the best moments come when we DON'T bring the vid camera. lol. we took a backstage tour of the wild arctic area. saw all the animals the guide talked about, except for the beluga whales, plus a ball python! trainer just happend to be outside with one. anyway we saw a polar bear come up to the window, seals playing with each other, aannndd we (family and i ) GOT TO PET A PENGUIN!! tres mignonne. it pooped right before it went on the trainers lap so we didn't have to worry about its ability to poop 4-5ft out. the other penguins were staring at us. two of them were beak battling to show who was the dominant. they sound kinda like seals when they make noise!

then we saw a lot of shows:

Rico and Roza's Inn- a show performed at the place we ate. nothing sea world related really. theme- "food, family, fun"

Odyssea- human performers that acted like undersea things. oyster's pearl, seaweed, penguins. at first i thought the penguins were some kinda snow monkeys...the costumes made it a bit confusing. the most interesting were these tube worms that were actually giant slinkies. kooky.

Dolphin show- flips, twirls. they also featured what are called "false killer whales". they look like killer whales except slenderer and no white on them

Pirate show- featured sea lions, an otter, and a hugungous walrus! it was so pink too.

Shamu Rocks America- always cool to see shamu rocking america. also had a whale twice shamu's size (1200 lbs)

pitiful fireworks show- it was like.... 3 minutes long.

we also went to the manatee exhibit. there was one manatee that squished its face against the glass and it looked like it was making eye contact with my sister. so cute! we also went to the dolphin cove (boo! dolphins wouldn't come close to me.), and turtle point! yay :) they don't really do anything but swim around but one of them was surely coming up for air and looking right at me. hee hee. these are the sea turtles i'm referring to by the way. i think it was a hawksbill or kemp ridley that was looking at me. aaanndd lastly... my sister went on Kraken, rollercoaster, 2ice in a row! always such a thrill. the first time i looked good in the pic but we were cut off. i'm not one of those people that tend to look terrified in those pictures, i usually look like i'm having such a happy experience. the second time i was so cheesed up. lol. "exaggerate smile.... now!" but we bought it anyway. we look so tan lol.

that's it in a nutshell. excuse me. a turtleshell. good nite.
