A regular Sea World visit with a bonus prize!

It was a normal day at Sea World, a place we often visit. We looked at some animals, watched the shamu show (we've got it memorized!) and then headed out over to the Pet's Rule show. While standing line I noticed a child holding a item that we could not live without. Since James wasn't going to the show with us (he was in charge of the sleeping baby) I began telling him about his mission... how he had to find the item the little girl was holding for our kids. Once he laid his eyes on said item it didn't even take him one second to agree. His reaction was hilarious to me. We both knew the severity of the situation.

So, while we stood in line behind the little girl with the item, with the kids staring it down and even trying to touch it.. James was off to secure it for us. I took the kids into the show, and James, that wonderful James, took care of business!

Here are the kids before the item was discovered.

And here it is.......giant stuffed Rudolphs with shiny red noses!! James had to win them at a carnival type basketball game - making 3 point shots. Once I knew the game was basketball I knew my hubby had it in the bag. I did not expect that he would win two, and was wondering how we were going to make them share. But look! He got two! Isn't he amazing! I was just as excited as they were.... matter of fact maybe more because I knew it was coming... they had no idea!

Capri. She wrapped Rudolph in her blankie, and hugged him tight. I don't doubt that in this moment she whisked off in her head to the Rudolph movie and is imagining herself there. How cute is that?

Capri and Rudolph taking a nap on the floor at the Manatees. Consequently, the manatees are being released back into the wild... so no more manatees at sea world. Don't know what we'll do, we spend a LOT of time there when we visit.

Still on the floor at the manatees.

As I write this both Capri and JD are sleeping with their Rudolphs. And, at one point earlier this afternoon Capri put Rudolph's head in my purse straps and pretended he was pulling Santa's sleigh. That girl's got some imagination!

Stay tuned for another post soon, lots to share!
