SB 2013--Part 3

On Friday, Ella Kate and I  went to the Gulf World Marine Park.  I am a sucker for zoos, aquariums, etc!!!  The place was really great and it wasn't too terribly crowded.  

We got to watch the shark and sea turtle feeding.  It was awesome because the tank was an oval shape and we got to walk out over the tank and then down some stairs to observe from below the surface.  Very cool!!! EK liked sitting in the little window because the sharks and turtles literally came up to the window over and over and she would just get so tickled.  

Our next stop was to see the alligators.  She has recently been obsessed with talking about alligators.  I have no idea why though.  Those hands on the hips...stop it!!!

The highlight of the reptile show for EK was the alligator of course.  She about couldn't contain it when the alligator relieved himself on the stage.  Funny stuff!!!

Of course EK had to stand like the flamingos...

and she was super pumped to see all the birds.  She said this one was Scully from Jake and the Neverland Pirates so she needed her picture with him.

We watched the Rough Toothed Dolphin and Sea Lion show.

Then we got to see the Bottlenose Dolphin Show.  They were my favorite of the day by far!  Luckily, we took notice of the signs and sat on the 10th row out of the "splash zone."  It was far too cold for that business!!

Ella Kate and I had such a fun time on our little marine life adventure!!!
