Aquatica

We spent a lot of time at Sea World's new Aquatica this summer.  Before they closed for the fall, the dads took a day off to check it out with us.  I wsa thankful Lachlan didn't mind being left behind with Poppy and a babysitter.  He doesn't really love the water like his big brothers.
Our first stops were the dolphins and the shamu coaster since the water park didn't open till 11.
 We were able to ride this ride throughout the summer since Lachlan is also tall enough for it.  It was nice to not have to worry about who was watching the babies, though.
Jonas and Isaiah chose to ride with the daddies.
 Reef and Ethan were stuck with the mommies.
 The ride splashed down into the stingray tunnel.  Pretty cool.
 After the stingray ride, we were off to try some new ones.  With 1 adult per child, we were able to try out some double tube rides.  Jonas loved them!

 We took a break for lunch and swam in this activity pool.  Kristin and I took turns with Troy and Josh at checking out ride that none of the kids were tall enough for.
We finished off the day on some single tube rides while Kristin, Josh, and Isaiah rode the stingray ride again.   The first one was in pitch darkness and I definitely worried about Jonas as he came down alone.  He said he hated it but wasn't crying and raced back up to try the other one!
What a great day!  Can't wait till it's warm enough to go again!
