Sea World!

My Sister Becky, her husband, and their three kids came to visit us over their Spring Break. They actually stayed down in San Diego because they got tickets to Sea World. Lucky for me they bought one for me too! So Max and I drove down. It was his first time at a big amusement park (even though we live <30 minutes from Disneyland, he still hasn't been). Sea World was great for him though.

First of all, did you know that they have a Sesame Street area for kids? Max watches Sesame Street a little in the mornings and as we were waiting for my niece Eliza to go on a bigger kid ride, Max spotted Bert and Ernie, he was just smiling and pointing. So we got up close for a picture and Max was fascinated! He just stared at them, didn't want to look at the camera.
We actually had to wait in line to meet Elmo, Max was just elated - all smiles and giggles, Elmo gave him a hug and a kiss and Max was in heaven!Max also went on his first amusement park ride. It was kind of surreal to me that my baby was big enough to go on a ride! When we got to the gate the lady said she had to see that he could walk by himself before he got on. I put him down and of course he just clung to me and wouldn't walk, luckily my sister picked him up and put him down and then he walked to me. It was kind of a Dumbo type ride, but they were fish that looked like Elmo. I strapped the seat belt over us and clutched him tight the whole time!
Of course Sea World has a lot more to see . . .my sister and nephew He loved the animals, loved pointing at them too.

My sister's family also drove up to see us the day before they left, here is Max and his cousin Eliza playing.
We all went to the Spectrum for dinner and to ride the carousel again.

Thanks for coming to visit us you guys!
