What's up, homeboys and homegirls,
As we're partial to amusement parks and cheap entertainment, we opted to bundle up the offspring and take 'em over to Sea World this weekend. I say 'cheap' because we're already season holders, get free parking, and 15% off all food, drinks and souvenirs. A half-day venture to Shamuville (seeing how our children are too young to stomach a full day without turning into complete bitches) generally ends up costing us all of $25, which covers a pop refill for Kris, a chicken fingers and fries meal for the kids to split, and a beer or two for Yours Truly.
And, seeing how it's a ten-minute drive away from our house, we've been hitting this up on a monthly basis since March.

Check it out:
 |
| Abby doesn't seem thrilled with the idea of spinning up into the sky. . . |
 |
| Sea World wasn't too crowded on Saturday. . . which may or may not have been due to the impending doom on the horizon. |
 |
| The Cannonball and Kris enjoying the Jazzy Jellyfish Twirly-Thing Ride. . . |
 |
| . . . Abby, not so much. |
 |
| A wall of ice in the Arctic Expedition attraction, a la Game of Thrones (not as tall, obviously). . . |
 |
| (Leaving hand impressions in the ice) |
 |
| Yes, I still own this shirt. |
 |
| Whenever there's a fake rock to climb on, this kid will do it and promptly demand her picture taken. . . |
 |
| . . . not sure what the obsession with fake rocks is, but whatever. |
 |
| Wrangling kids to move on to the next attraction. Had they had their way, we'd be sitting on rocks and touching ice walls for hours. . . screw the animals. |
 |
| Kris attempts to convince Abby that there are no monsters hiding in the caves. . . |
 |
| (Those aren't my footprints - the toes aren't long enough) |
 |
| Alayna, as usual, befriends some random girl whilst playing in the caves. What was really cool was that this girl was even more poorly-behaved that our kid, which made the Cannonball look like a well-raised kid by comparison. I love it when that shit happens. |
 |
| Still trying to coax Abby into the Caves. . . |
 |
| Abby was all about the walruses today. . . |
 |
| Beluga whales. . . |
 |
| Pit stop lunch break at one of Sea World's Baby Stations. . . |
 |
| ''MY chair!'' |
 |
| Gogurt = crack for kids. |
 |
| Pizza time. Abby doesn't really eat the dough/crust -she just mauls the cheese and sauce off the top. |
 |
| Underpaid park workers in bizarre costumes? Looks like something we want our kids posed next to for a picture. . . |
 |
| As could be expected, neither kid was down with this. . . |
 |
| JamMasters they are not. Not yet. |
 |
| Carousel time at Shamu's Happy Harbor. . . |
 |
| Abby's not a fan of the rising and falling of the carousel, so Kris had her turn riding the Lame Bench during the rotating. . . |
 |
| Trying out some of the carnie games in Shamu's Arcade (or whatever the hell it's called) |
 |
| Alayna, following directions as always. |
 |
| Watching the Atlantis ride, climbing in unauthorized areas, etc. |
 |
| Watching Manatees - by this time of the day there were needing naps. . . |
 |
| Big black fish. . .? |
 |
| Flashing her 'mean' face for the manatees. . . |
