Well as if the cruise wasn't enough vacation for one week, as soon as we got back to San Diego Dave and Nalene came out to Cali and met us for two fun days at Sea World. 
We had my mom and Eden, GG and Papa and Dave and Nalene. 
We opened and closed the park down two days in a row and we still didn't get to see everything. 
It took us like half an hour to get Avery to touch a starfish but finally Grandma Tobar got her to touch one. 
However she would have nothing to do with the sea cucumber that she kept saying "it's yucky!" 
Deke and I however were taking bets on how long it would be before Hunter went into the tide pool head first since he was leaning in so far.
I was convinced that as long as he didn't hit his head on a rock that he would be fine if he fell in other than maybe a little startled.
But he didn't :) Both the kids loved the Shamu show, I had forgotten how fun that one is. 
The lines were not bad at all, the only bummer was that it was pretty warm out. 
Ave absolutely loved the turtles they were her favorite, both the ones in the water and on land.
I think we went back to see them three times because she thought they were so cute. I thought that for sure Hunter would be totally fascinated with the sharks and he did love them but he was more enthralled with the sting rays.
When we got to the area where you can touch them one of the Sea World people came over and gave the kids a huge handful of little fish to feed the rays. Once we started feeding them they would come right up to you and stick their head up out of the water looking for fish.
They are so cool feeling and Hunter was loving every minute of it. Deke and I cracked up when a big one came by and got spooked, it splashed its fins down quickly to get away and drenched Hunter head to toe. He turned around water dripping and then exclaimed "that was awesome!" He ended up choosing to buy a stuffed animal sting ray at the end of our trip and naming him "Manta" I of course loved to see the penguins, two years ago when we went to Sea World Deke asked someone to walk us behind the scenes of the penguin encounter and they actually took us into the penguin habitat.
Then they took us to the penguin nursery and brought a penguin out that we could touch and see up close. It was so cool. It was so much fun to watch the kids experience everything, they were so cute. Hunter went on the big rollercoaster (his first actual big rollercoaster ride) and went on the rapids ride. T
wo days was just perfect to get in all the shows and get through all the exhibits. Thank you Sea World for providing such a fun family vacation :) :)
