Finally…it’s Shamu and Friends! October 28, 2009

I have been a little busy taking part in life. Camping, grilling, taking pictures, laughing, hanging out with friends, taking more pictures, singing, dancing, celebrating, taking more pictures, meeting new people, landscaping, homeschooling, loving on my daughters and husband, and taking more pictures. Aw shucks, summer is over.

I still have pictures from our trip to Sea World to share with you. Maybe that will help us all to hang on to summer for a few more days, unless, you’re a lover of Fall??? I am too, but Shamu has been so patient. So, here we go!

These are some friends and my family. Hi!

Although I could see him swimming around, the shape of the tank made it hard to predict where exactly he was going to pop up. I learned NOT to look in the water, but to wait with my camera to my face until I saw him break the surface of the water. It was awesome!

Hmmm, if I could be anywhere on the face of the planet, I’d like to be where this young man is right now……..(joke)

Shamu is really big.

Cool shot, visible water droplets. :)

I left this one big because I want you to see how close the guy is to Shamu’s mouth. He really loves Shamu!

The whale on the left is not Shamu, it’s a much younger and slightly smaller one. (Still gets some air.)   The guy on the right is riding Shamu, you can tell by the “leaning” dorsal fin. More water droplets, how delightful!

Do you know what this means????? (Hint* Did you bring your umbrella?)

These were the three that entertained us that day.

What a great day job!  (Check out the water droplets)  =0)

Sea World was so much fun. One day was not enough, wish we could’ve gone for three days, there was too much to see for just one day. I still took a lot of pictures and have more to show you. Maybe I’ll wait and post them in the middle of winter when we might appreciate seeing the warm sun.

Thanks for being patient and for stopping by!

To him that by wisdom made the heavens: for his mercy endureth for ever. To him that stretched out the earth above the waters: for his mercy endureth for ever.” Pslams 136: 3-6
