visiting Dan & Becky day 2

We had a crazy full, fun day at SeaWorld. None of us can believe how well Jace did. We (not Mom and Jace but the rest of us) tried out the new roller coaster Manta. It was awesome. I want to go again! With all the amazing sights to see, Jace would have been perfectly happy to chase squirrels and birds all day long. This squirrel thought Jace was going to feed him so he kept circling around the stroller. Jace also thought he was going to give the squirrel a treat. He kept trying to give the squirrel a leaf. When I told Jace that the squirrel didn't want a leaf he wanted a peanut, Jace looked at the leaf in his hand, held it out to the squirrel and said, "peanut".We enjoyed the Killer Whale show and the Dolphin Adventure show. Jace was practically asleep with his eyes open during the dolphin show. Also, he seemed more interested in the airplanes and helicopters flying in the distance than the amazing water show happening right in front of him. The small indoor aquarium area had a tank in the floor and one up above. Jace joined other kids playing on the floor over the fish. Uncle Dan helped Jace up to see one of the other tanks in the aquarium. On the way out of the aquarium, through the gift shop, Jace adopted a stuffed toy shark.
Dan wore a pedometer all day. He says we walked over 5 miles. It feels like it.
We topped off the day with the unbelievable bread pudding at Raglan Road.
Hopefully, we will all sleep well and be ready for another fun day tomorrow.
