Miami Seaquarium

Jane would like to welcome you to the Miami Seaquarium. She'll be your tour guide through the park, (with side notes by Mom). It's like a mini Sea World and half the price!

First we come to the Dolphin tank. Through the little windows, you can see the dolphin swim right past. Pretty amazing. We did not want to leave them, even to go get food.

After lunch, we headed up top to see the dolphin show. We all started out right at the edge. Uncle Steve and Kyle watching the dolphin.

Then the show began, the dolphin swam, the dolphin spoke, and the dolphin splashed. We all quickly moved back, although still a little wetter than before.

Daddy and I took a little detour to see some big fish! Wow, he's huge.

Alice and I spotted an empty playground. We had to cross over the shark tank though to get to it. We were brave and made it!

Alice tried to do everything I did, but she's little and can't always do it. Daddy told her to back up.

Then we got to go to the Flipper show.

Uncle Steve is the coolest, well besides Daddy, but sometimes he even wins over Daddy

Next we headed over to the alligators and sea turtles. Alice was a little scared of the alligators, even though they were babies. She's just a little girl. Silly Alice!

I made sure Daddy took a picture of that Iguana. Iguana starts with an "I", so does lizard. The sea turtles are from Finding Nemo.

Then we went and saw the sea lion show. After the show I showed Mommy what I could do. Daddy took a picture of both Mommy and I doing such an amazing trick.

It had been a long day. We had driven in the car 3 hours down to Miami that morning and now it was around 4:30 in the afternoon. Alice and I did not want to take anymore pictures, but we were forced into it. However, we refused to look at the camera, ha ha!

Alice wanted a turn being the tour guide too, so here she is pointing out the dolphin, which probably sounded like, "duck" (her word for every animal, except birds, ironic)

The last show of the day was the killer whale. He was really big. I bought 2 little killer whales at the gift shop. Mommy keeps trying to call them whales and every time I correct her, "No, killer whales. Silly Mommy!"

Daddy was smart enough to sit far away from the splash zone. Others were not, but they quickly moved after the first wall of 55 degree salt water came at them.

She's standing on his nose.

Alice and Mommy waiting for the killer whale to go by after the show. We got to see him up close. It was neat.

We had a great time seeing all the animals and not having to fight any crowds.

Stay tuned for the next post on the everglades!
