Sea World firsts... 6/20/2011

It's hard to believe with as many times that we have been to Sea World in the past year that we can still have first time experiences there, but that is what happened on this day. They opened up a new turtle reef exhibit so we decided to meet up with a few friends there to check it out. It's actually pretty cool. I really enjoyed watching all the big sea turtles swimming around.

Aside from the video games they have in there for the kids to play, the seemed fascinated by watching the divers swim around to clean the tank. One of the divers saw that they were watching them so he kept turning upside down which the kids thought was pretty funny.

We then went over to ride on the sky ride that goes out of the back side of Sea World and over the bay. They used to charge for this ride, which is why we never rode on it because I thought it was a rip off, but recently they made it a free ride so the kids were pretty happy to give it a try. All the kids decided to switch up who they were riding with so I rode with Brooklyn, Sydney and Jr.

And then Kim, Kaylee, Azure and Skyla were in another one.

We had also heard that the sky tower was now free as well so we decided to go over and give that a try too. My girls have always asked to ride in this, but again I just didn't think it was worth the money. It is totally work FREE though. :) It was actually pretty fun because you could see everything. It is this circle thing that slowly rotates up a very tall poll. Not only was it cool to see all the different tanks of animals that high up, but it was also nice and air conditioned in there which was awesome!
