On Friday, we set out to San Diego to visit Sea World. My friend Allison, who is also a twin mom, works at Anheuser Busch and gave us 50% off tickets. Woohoo! With the car packed and the boys dressed in Elmo outfits, we were ready to meet Shamu and Elmo. One hour and 45 minutes later, we arrived. Combining the advice of an informative guest relations gal with knowledge of our boys, we decided which attractions/shows to see and when. We walked through the shark encounter,fed the sea lions, played at Sesame Street Bay, took pictures with Shamu, Elmo, The Count, and Grover, and saw the Shamu show. We never did make it to see the penguins, bat rays or eels. Maybe next time. The most enjoyable part of the day for me was watching Anthony and Daniel play on the tot mat. Daniel played nicely with the air-filled blocks. Anthony found the blocks interesting but was more intrigued by the other toddlers. He tackled the other kids and gave great big bear hugs while they were pinned beneath him. His Spartan behavior was not appreciated by some parents. Other parents were humored and very receptive to my apologies as I wrestled Anthony off of their startled or, in some instances, crying child. It was a good day and Daddy Daniel was quite the sport driving both to and from Sea World. Making memories: That's what it's all about!
Twin Update: Daniel is teething AGAIN!!! Anthony has graduated to feeding us :)
