Ode to Shamu

One of our favorite things to do is go to Sea World. Here are some of my favorite shots.

Aiyana doing what she loves: talking to the dolphins.

Playing peek-a-boo at the old "Bay of Play"
It is so funny! I just remembered this little house where we played peek-a-boo. Aiyana would crouch down and bounce up over and over. EVERY time we would play this, Aiyana would crouch down and poop in her diaper at some point during the game. LOL! I always went straight to the bathrooms when we were done to change her diaper. I can't stop laughing!

This is one of my favorite Sea World moments. Usually at the Shamu viewing area, the whales swim in circles. This time, the baby girl whale, who is the same age as Aiyana, was interacting with the Yaya and the other kids. She came straight up to the glass. Aiyana was a bit frightened at first, but then she began running back and forth while the baby whale "raced" her. That went on for a good 10 minutes before she went back to her normal rounds. That may never happen again. I am so glad we were a part of it!
