Seaworld 2005

Jack checking out the intricacies of a starfish. After which, he tried to murder poor starfish by squeezing said starfish in his little death grip hands. Poor thing.





Mommy, Jack, Laura at the starfish pond.





Shamu strutting her stuff.




Jack showing his appreciation of Shamu.






The family pics





Jack really liked the whales.




Really cool picture of Beluga whales.





I love this picture. Big sister and little brother.





Yeah we need to get the sand box filled in the backyard.




He liked the bouncy ducky thingy in the sand area.




Jack and Daddy checking out the scene together.

Jack playing in the toddler area, which basically was one big squishy mat. As you can see here he was in Jackaroo heaven.



Jack in the middle of all the toddler action. He hasn't quite figured out how to jump yet (yes that is a good thing) so he just kind of stumbled around and laughed a lot.




Laura with all the mess that a XL blue jawbreaker brings.




Yesterday we went to Seaworld in San Diego. The last time we went to San Diego was in June 2003. And I am about 95% sure that night is when Jack was conceived. I really doubt that Seaworld 2005 will yield the same results. Let's just say this - I was exhausted, nuff said.

Also yesterday morning we stopped off at the local casino for their Sunday brunch which was very good. Jack downed 2 sausage links like there was no tomorrow. As we were leaving, I stopped off at the restroom which conveniently is located next door to the gift shop, which is filled with stuffed animals. As I was coming out of the restroom, I rounded the corner to see Jack clutching for all his life a stuffed dog. According to Jim, he took off faster than the speed of light and went straight to the dog and WOULD. NOT. LET.GO. of the dog. Of course we bought it (yes we are pathetic parents who are spoiling our child and will have issues to deal with in the future, I know you don't have to tell me that). So now he has three, count them 3 stuffed dogs that must go with him where ever we go. He has attached himself to these stuffed animals so thoroughly and completely. It is so cute to see him walking around with an armload of stuffed dogs.

We all had a good time yesterday at Seaworld which was only proven by Jack in the car when we were driving away. He started shouting (and I mean shouting) "Stop" "Don't" when he realized that we were leaving Seaworld.
