Sea World and Breakfast with Elmo




Yesterday we spent the morning at Sea World with our friends, Jen and her son James. We had a blast. I must say that was the first time that I think Evan truly "got it" and enjoyed it. He was super excited about all of the exhibits and shows. We started with breakfast with Elmo, who he calls Elbo. What I thought would be his favorite part, was his least favorite. He had never seen a character before up close like that, and actually doesn't watch sesame street. So he only knew who Elmo was, and the rest he found a tad creepy. After that we ventured over the Wild Arctic and saw polar bears, beluga whales and walruses, followed by the Shamu show. He was so wide eyed during the show, and he clapped at all the appropriate times. He loved it! He talked about whales and Shamu the rest of the day!!! We need to do it again soon, before I have two babies to carry around. My friend Jen is pregnant too, so we both were exhausted and HOT by the end of it, but it was well worth it to see the smiles and looks on their faces. Another priceless moment was in the car on the way home, we looked back and they were holding hands in between their car seats!!!
