On Friday, October 16, 1998 my family
(and my grandpa and grandma) and I went to SEA
WORLD in Orlando. It was my first time and I loved it. Here is
a little summary of our day and some pictures.
First
of all, we had to wait a long time to buy the tickets. That was boring.
But my mom found a gift shop so we all went in the gift shop while my dad
waited in line to buy tickets. My grandpa and my grandma also came
and they went in the gift shop too. I begged my grandpa to
buy me a manatee stuffed animal but my grandpa said it was too much money.
OOOH I WANTED THAT
MANATEE!
Finally my dad got the tickets and we straight
to the dolphin
pool and my brother got to touch
one. I was kind of scared of getting too close. They had their
mouth open and I could see their all of their teeth. They were funny
though. They squeaked. My brother said dolphins
feel like "slippery rubber."
From there we went to see other animals
but I just couldn't wait to see the manatees! Oh they are just so
cute!!!! We finally made it to the manatee area. I loved it! They
had this really good movie at the beginning and then we went to a big pool
and
there they were--so adorable. I also loved the penguin
exhibit but I think my favorite show was the SHAMU
show. Shamu got everyone wet including US!
My
mom's favorite was the WILD
ARCTIC exhibit. She loves Klondike
and Snow (the polar bears). My brother and my dad both loved Journey
to Atlantis. That is a roller coaster ride and you can get really wet!! I
couldn't ride it becuase I was too small.
I loved Sea World. It was a great
day. If you ever get a chance to go to Sea World you should. I want
to learn all about manatees
and dolphins.
Maybe one day I will get to swim with them.
