Day 2 {Sea World}

We left Maryland on Friday, and arrived in Florida on Saturday morning. Saturday was spent getting acquainted with Give Kids the World. We were warned not to go to Magic Kingdom on the weekend (Sunday) because it would be extremely crowded. So, first thing Sunday morning we headed to Sea World!
First arriving at Sea World
The girls are really wanting their pictures taken with the person dressed up in a Shamu costume, but they obliged my request for a picture with their brother.

We got to feed and touch the dolphins. I don't have any pictures of us doing that because I was video taping, and hoisting children up over the wall to touch the dolphins. But it was an AWESOME experiene!

Gabe after his dolphin experience :) Very happy!

Rachel,
It's been so fun seeing all these posts and getting a peek at what you all got to do during your special trip. I love seeing Gabe so happy after the dolphins.
