Sea World Field Trip

It was a lovely, sunny day in Sea World, San Diego. Every single show we went to was awsome, specially the one with the Killer Whales.. they are GREAT.

Highlights of the day
*When a little 5 year old girl was asked to help out in the dolphin show, she was allowed to touch one of them. After she touched it, the trainer asked her what it felt like, the little girl said: a Hot dog

*In another show, an adult was asked to participate in a little game with a whale and when he was taken to the rim of the tank, the whale splashed him. The volunteer laughed (and enjoyed it, as it was a very hot day) and the trainer said loud and clear, for everyone to hear.. (it was a PG show, but she apparently forgot that): Good sir! Now your just like me, nice and wet!

*There's a relatively new attraction, rapids... very nice, BUT VERY WET. Seriously, when you think it's almost over, SPLAT!!! COLD, COLD water from nowhere!!!

*We found out that dolphins are attracted to vibrant colors,As my mother was wearing a rainbow colored shirt,
when we visited the Dolphin Tank. All the dolphins where just swimming around, doing their best to ignore stupid turists taping the tank glass and making stupid signs to try and lure them without result...when suddenly my mom arrived. She was just standing there, observing them when two of them came up to the rim and I swear! SMILED at her!! When she moved, they followed her. We loved it!

The day ended with the usual fireworks and a big ice cream sundae, till next time.
