So Abby finally got picked for Show And Tell. Thursday her backpack had a yellow cloth bag in it. There was a note saying she had been picked for show and tell!! Woo Hoo!!! She was so excited to take Buzz Lightyear. So we filled out her paper. And stuck Buzz in the bag. It was the first night she didn’t sleep with him since we bought him!! Today when I picked her up she said that everything went well and that everyone really liked seeing Buzz :)

This morning Laura asked if I had heard the news!! The whales would be out today!! It was raining – but we figured we were going to get wet anyway :) We couldn’t get out of the hotel fast enough. We were literaly running through SeaWorld to make it to the show on time. It just feels like our SeaWorld experience is complete. Jamey and Matt were able to join us today!! We had fantastic seats in the splash zone! It was so very emotional to see the trainers. We noticed one smiling through her tears. They did a beautiful slideshow of the trainer that had died earlier in the week. Between seeing the massive, beautiful whales and the incredible, emotional, brave trainers I just couldn’t stop crying. I was in awe when every trainer stood on the side of the pool and dove in!! It just took my breath away. They swam across the tank and jumped out right in front of us. Seeing THIS show was such a perfect ending :)

Holy Cow!! Dolphins, Parrots, Vulchers, Divers and Acrobats!!!! I was so sad Jamey wasn’t with us. It was incredible to see – and even more awesome to watch the girls watch the show. I couldn’t even begin to count the ooos and aahhs. At one point Abby turned to me and said, “Isn’t this so much fun Mommy?” Laura suggested we sit in the splash zone. I thought it was a great idea! We all got a little wet – but we laughed and smiled so much!! Once again I kept my phone put away during the show. I do have more pics on our camera.

It was so cool! We got reservations as soon as we arrived at the park. So all we had to do was show up! We waited by the outdoor pool of sharks, rays and other fun ocean creatures. Once we walked in Abby and Ian sat right next to the glass! These HUGE sharks swam right past them the entire meal. Hannah pretty much just copied whatever Abby said. If Abby yelled “Wow! Look!!!” you can bet the same thing was coming from Hannah two seconds later.

The show was awesome!! Abby had a blast! Hannah unfortunately cried through 50% of it. She just kept yelling YAYA!!! Hrm. Okay. He isn’t here. Let’s blame him for the crying :) Here are some pics. You will also see Laura and her kids Ian (4) and Layla (1.5). We all think Layla looks just like Hannah a few months ago :)
