Fall Break

I am grateful Brian's parents are so easy going, we called on a Sunday and asked if we could come out on Tuesday We didn't have much going on and Brian was working all week...this was a bit more tempting

 

Matthew after jumping in the pool, brushed his foot against something and this is what we found. Scorpions. In the pool, in San Diego. Mind you, we have yet to find one in our house in Arizona. They were all a bit reticent to get back in the water. After some serious scouring of the bottom of the pool, they eventually got back in.

We headed to Sea World one day, and thinking it would be easier for us all to get around, we rented a wheel chair for Brandon and they all had a grand time pushing and racing the wheel chair.

The Dolphin Show had changed significantly since we had last been there....

...consensus from the looks on their faces...not impressed.at.all.

Matthew got brave and sat in the soak zone by himself...again the Shamu show was so-so. Maybe it is because they are getting older or they have seen it a few times, or now the laws state people can't be in the water, whatever the reason the show was "just ok"

Now feeding the sea lions was a different story. We stopped about 15 minutes before the park closed and we purchased 4 trays of food, the attendant handed us close to 25 trays of food. She explained all the food has to be given out by the end of day, so we could take the remaining trays. Score for us. It is much more fun to feed a lot of fish to the sea lions than just 3 little floppy fish in your 1 tray!

Andrew had a hard time touching the fish!



I'm not sure how he ended up sans clothes, but given the amount of sucker that was on his body by the time we got home, it was probably a wise choice.
