The Little Things: Sea World

NeyNaw, Britni, Branson, and I ventured to SeaWorld in late June. Boy was it hot!! We had fun and Branson enjoyed it, even though he had Hand, Foot, and Mouth Disease while we were there, we just didn't know it. He had a little fever and no appetite, but I just assumed it was from the heat and crazy schedule (meaning loss of sleep for the little guy). Oops! I felt bad when I figured it out, but he was still a trooper and LOVED Shamoo.

First, we fed the dolphins. Well, Neynaw fed the dolphins and we watched. Branson was not about to tough one of those fish, but he liked the dolphins. :)

Trying to jump in... :)

Hot and sweaty boy...trying to keep him hydrated with juice.

Renee brought a few hankerchiefs that she kept in ice water for when we got really hot. They were WONDERFUL! Branson loved his "panky" and requested it often. (I think "pink hanky" became "panky." Thats all I could come up with!)

The biggest walrus I have ever seen!

Shamoo!!

I loved this show with all the divers, dolphins, and baluga whales. So cool!

Branson's favorite activity in the hotel room was climbing on the air conditioner and hiding behind the curtains. So cute!

We did go back to the hotel both days in the middle of the hot afternoon for some rest/cool off time. It was much needed. The second day we decided to head to the kiddie water area and Branson loved it. It felt great!

I stole a couple pictures from Renee's camera, so these are out of order. :) The seals and sea lions show...

Me and Branson at dinner. I think this was the night that he has 102 fever when we got him home. Poor boy!

The best picture of us with Shamoo. Still blurry. Branson would cry when we walked away from him, but when you asked him if he wanted to go see Shamoo, he would say, "No, he's scared of me." It was so cute. I was proud of him for going up to him and not being scared.
