We had such a good time at Seaworld yesterday that we had no issues getting the girls up and moving this morning.  We were at Seaworld for the park opening and got to make the most of the day.  We took in several shows

and enjoyed the limited wait time on all the rides.

Mark and the girls are the last group.

Maria loved watching them on this ride.  THey are literally hanging upside down so you can see them really well.  It freaked her out though watching them do up and down and get whipped around.  She was screaming ” Oh no…they got my daddy.” ….”Oh no…they dropped them!”  “STOP!”  “Don’t hurt them!”  “Help them Mommy!”  After about the third ride, she realized they weren’t going to die but the ride still captivated her attention every moment.  Her new phrases were “Oh my!”…”So Scary!”…”What goes up…go down!”

Eventually we decided to decrease Maria’s stress and head to the kiddy parks to kill some time while the older kids rode some rides.  Tammy the social butterfly was having some issues staying with the group.  I was engaged in a developmental discussion with her about safety.  When I looked over to check on the girls, I couldn’t help but chuckle at what I saw…

Kaatje’s influence knows no bounds.  It is truly scary!!  Notice how Cierra waits at the top for Sam to do her pose and then for her to make her entrance.  This went on for about 20 minutes with Maria randomly making her appearance.

When we had enough of the kiddy parks, we went to take in some exhibits like the aquarium for joining up with the rest of the family to do the penguins exhibits. rides etc..
