Stephanie and Katie have been travelling for a few days now, visiting Stephanie's grandmother in Indiana. Hannah's been (not coincidentally) ensuring that all her animals and dolls are paired up with their "mommies" or, at least, that the location of their mommies is well understood. One of her favorites is a rubber bath orca from the Fisher Price set, and we have not firmly clarified where his "mommy" lives.
Friday was just Hannah, me, and some beautiful southern California weather, so we seized the day and headed to Sea World. Hannah packed up Baby Orca, so, "he can see his mommy!" How exciting!
(I won't say anything about their asinine and inconsistent pricing scheme.)
She was a great sport in the car, and enjoyed the dolphin and orca shows greatly. The hit of the day, though, was the "teacup" ride in the Sesame Street area. and hugging every stuffed dolphin in the gift shop – wish I took that photo.
During the orca show, Hannah was most interested in the trainers, continuously asking about their activities as they entered and left the stage area. The orcas were neat, but she wanted to understand the activities of the trainers. Even after the show she asked where they went and what they did until the next show. Fortunately, Sea World San Diego's design allows guests to watch the training pools from galleries or catwalks, and we spent quite some time watching training and feedings.
We found some relatively healthy food mid-afternoon and a quiet, shady spot to sit. Far more than I expected in mid-Summer. Friday was a great day to visit the park. By the time we headed to the penguin and polar bear pavilions, Hannah was pooped, and so we turned for home. We split a chocolate milkshake and she slept all the way home.
