today is my birthday. i am now 5. i have a lot planned for this year. i've been looking forward to being 5 for awhile now. got up this morning just in time to see mom driving off in the car. i waved at her. i sat around a bit talking with jammmma. mom came back and plopped down 2 containers worth of donuts on the table. she gave me some happy birthday kisses and handed me a box of donut holes. I LOVE DONUT HOLES!
dad came home from the gym and wished me happy birthday. everyone got ready and we piled into mom's car. she drove us over to the hotel where dana bunny and gdad are staying. there was a short conference to decide which was the correct gps address and then we divided up into cars. i rode with dana bunny, gdad and grdad in the big car. mom drove with dad and jammma. we all got on the highway and drove down to orlando.
we ended up at seaworld. mom got the tickets for everyone and we went through the gates. i've never been to seaworld before so it was all very exciting. we headed off to the killer whale show, first thing. that was amazing. the big whales just jumped right out of the water. i got splashed on by a killer whale! that doesn't happen every day. i loved it.
after the show we just roamed around the park. i saw all kinds of things. we stopped and visited the sharks. mom got a tray of food and we tossed chopped up fish down. the sharks really weren't interested. most of the fish bits got hoovered up by the rays. they're always hungry. mom made some lunch reservations at the shark grills. super fancy.
we went off and visited with the sea lions. they are stinky and noisy. mom got a tray of fish there too and we tossed them to the sea lions. that was kind of tricky as there were cheeky birds there trying to steal the fish. one flew by and almost stole the whole tray from mom. bad birds.
bummer for us the penguin house was closed down. they're building a new one that looks super cool. it's going to open next year. we walked around some more and found the skates and rays. mom got another tray of food and we fed them too. everyone got splashed. rays are very cheeky and like to splash people with their big wings.
we went off to lunch at the shark grill. mom ordered me some food but i didn't want it. i ate a couple french fries and that was it. i was having too much fun watching the huge sharks swim right by our table. the sharks were watching me eat! everyone wished me happy birthday. i am having a great day i must say.
after our fancy lunch with sharks we walked around more. we went to see the dolphin show. that was even better than the whales! there was all kinds of things going on. dolphins were jumping out of the water. people were flying through the air and then riding the dolphins around. parrots were flying through the audience. i didn't know where to look first. it was all very exciting.
the last show we caught was the seal and otter show. the seals were pretend pirates. it was ok. not as fun as the other shows. the otters didn't really do much. before we left the park we all stopped for a quick dinner at one of the restaurants. i had more french fries. we got our bathroom breaks in and then it was back to the cars.
dad drove us back home. i feel asleep pretty much right away. what a super fun birthday.
