So, watching the killer whales was nice. Take note that the area likely to get wet in the shows from splashing is clearly marked on the benches. And although we were in the splash zone for the Shamu show, fortunately, we didn't get wet. It was still early in the day and not warm enough for wet clothes!
Taking a 22-month old to an all-day theme park is iffy. Especially when he throws up in the car just as we are arriving. But we found out that Alastair was great. We'd have to sit for 30 minutes or so before a show (to get a seat--there was a crowd. You'd think it was spring break or something), but we were able to keep him occupied. 
Once the show began, he was totally enthralled with it. There was nothin antsy about him!
He even helped me with my ever-present crocheting.
Yup, both kids can ride the "Shamu Express", a small roller-coaster for kids. The downside? We had to stand in line for about an hour for it. Actually, Catherine stood in line for half that time while I took the kids to a play area, then we switched.
The other downside? Only two people in a seat and because of her height, Brenna had to have an adult with her. That meant that Connor had to ride by himself. That wasn't fun for him.

We could have saved ourselves the hour-long wait in line!
Hmm, throwing up in the car before going to a large amusement/theme park? Why does that sound so familiar?
ReplyDeleteThat was our take on the situation. It just wouldn't have been authentic without someone getting sick.
