Sorry it's been so long since I finished up the Sea World pictures!! But... Here's the rest of them! Enjoy the penguins! ^_~

---

Ohmigosh, ohmigosh, ohmigosh! So, we got there and waited for our group to gather and headed inside. We stopped by the puffin exhibit first and in just a couple of minutes, went around the corner, and there they were, in all their cold, feathery glory!


A view from the outside of the penguin area.

After a few minutes of info on the different types of penguins and their way of life, we got to go behind the scenes!

It smelled fishy! O_o


We got to go through a back door and into the penguin habitat.


There was still a small gate that we could go past, but still, some of them were so close we could have touched them!




And this little guy was hanging out right below us. Isn't he cute??

When each half of the group finished their look, we met up again in one of the back rooms, where one of the girls brought out another penguin. This one we were allowed to pet and even got our pics taken with him!


We had to take a coupe tries and the first time, he pooped right by Villy's foot. Hehehehe, it was pretty funny. ^_~

We took a ton of pictures and even some movies. Eventually though, we had to say goodbye... *sniffs* But it was such a fun and cool experience, and the penguins are just soo much cuter in person than on tv.

Right before we left, Villy managed to get a pic of one of the fuzzy, baby penguins.


This baby is probably bigger than half the penguins in the exhibit!

Anyways, this was near the end of the day. We stopped at the gift shop and bought me some penguin thingies, including a cute, soft, cuddley penguin plushie!

Then we made our way to Shamu stadium, where the four whales kindly soaked us in cold, wet saltwater! We were quite miserable after that. >.< Luckily, it was time for our Dine With Shamu thing, so we got to go back behind the stage where a huuuge buffet was set out for the group.


We stuffed ourselves and the trainers brought out the whales for a mini-show.


Again, we were soooo close to the animals, it was pretty cool.

Such a fun trip!
