San Diego/Sea World (2 months late)

In September we took a much needed family vacation to Sea World. We debated between Sea World and Disney Land for awhile and finally decided on Sea World since Tytan is a Shark fanatic. All he wanted for his B-day were shark sheets and shark toys. The boys were awesome in the car and with only a few potty breaks we made it there in record time. Here are a few of our fav. parts of our San Diego week. Ridge enjoying the best seat in the house...right on top of Tytan's sand castle. Our hotel was right on the water so we could literally walk out of our hotel room onto the sand.
Ridge burying himself under the sand castle.
One of the few pics. I got of Tytan looking at the camera. He is in his stage where he NEVER wants to look at the camera. If I catch him in the right moment I can get a glimpse of his face on camera.
Daddy and Ridge walking the beach.
Ridge is completely fearless. He saw a mom and 5 baby ducks in the water and he would follow them any where. He would walk out into the ocean up to his neck and not have a care in the world.
The boys making a sand castle. One of the many...
The boys driving to Cali. showing off the sun glasses. Tyt insists on putting on his own glasses so they are always a little crooked.
Hard to see but a shark right above his head. Had to post this since it was one of the few showing his face.
Ridge checking out the seals/sea lions.
By far the highlight of the trip for Tyt was the Shark Encounter. I think I lost count how many times we went through and saw the sharks. He can tell you the name of pretty much every shark.
The dolphins were my favorite. They were so friendly they were always right up next to the glass.
Mr. Walrus...Ridge sat next to him for soo long just laughing and laughing. He would eat a fish then spit it out over and over. A little disgusting but he was highly entertained.
The beluga whale
More Dolphins..
The manta rays. Ridge and Tytan sat on that ledge petting these slimy guys forever.
Of course we had to get a picture with Shamu.
More Shamu.. The boys really did so well through the entire vacation. Sometimes staying at a new place and being out of routine can get a little crazy but it was so needed and so fun.
*Our house is coming up pretty fast now so I will be posting a few pics. of the progress soon.
