Aquatica

A new park opened up in Orlando called Aquatica. It's a water park with sea animals. We heard this park fills up fast and you have to go really early to even get in. So we went at 8:00 in the morning to be there when it opens at 9:00. It was so crowded. The park closed at 9:30 because it was so full. The locals say its been that way since it opened in March. As soon as we found our spot to put our stuff down we picked our life jackets for the kiddos. Isaac's jacket was one size smaller than Ella's...he'll catch up one day, and when he does look out.





I took the three little ones to play in the kiddie part while Tino took Lexy on the big rides before the lines got too long.



One of the rides at Aquatica is a tube ride that goes through a tank of dolphins. It's really cool and Lexy and Tino rode it. Lexy told me that as she got closer to the tank she put her legs and hands against the wall of the tube so she could slow down enough to see the dolphins. My hippie girl is so funny. Here are some pictures Avery took of the dolphins, who by the way like to swim upside down, and you can see the tube in the back.





As we were leaving the park the Macaws were out and we had to stop and take a picture of them. Aren't they just beautiful?



We left the park around 1:00, swimming just wears you out. We went back to our hotel and slept because we knew the following day would be a very long day. Every night we had the most beautiful view from our window. Sea World had a big firework display at 10:30 and we would just sit together and watch them.
