sea world

em has been so excited about seeing the dolphins at sea world. anytime i asked her if she knew where we were going (whether it be the grocery store, the mall, target, or auntie's), she'd say, "to see the dolphins!" they did not disappoint. and at the end of the day, she told me her favorite thing about sea world was the dolphins...even if she wanted nothing to do with feeding them.

reese was in charge of posing the girls for this early morning picture. em would wake up early in the morning, as soon as she heard the girls in the hallway. i don't think i've ever seen her with so much energy so early in the morning.

i think d had an even better time than em did at sea world

lol, i'm not sure any of them are looking at the camera here

dolphins!!!

donnie loved this part

em's first roller coaster- the shamu express. i think she was a little scared. but no tears.

waiting on the sea lions. can you believe that this happy girl dislocated her elbow about an hour before this? luckily, harper's grandpa is a doctor and told erin exactly how to pop it back in place. she was all smiles after that. poor baby, but such a trooper!

heading home a little too soon...she is hugging her baby shamu and saying, "i love him!"

and here are the rest of her treasures from sea world. naturally, she likes the goofy purple dog that d won from the grabber machine in the food court best. the big shamu was for aaron, but when we got to his house, she said, "i want to keep him." lol.
