A trip to Sea World

Before the girls and I headed down to southeast TX, then on to Florida, we made a quick trip down to Sea World! One of Greg's former clients is a trainer there. He invited us to come down, gave us free passes to get in, and gave us a backstage tour with the Beluga whales, dolphins, sea lions and a walrus! Greg invited his friend James to come along. We loved seeing the sea life and VERY much appreciated the opportunity to get up close and personal with the animals!!


Greg's client works with the animals in the Viva show. After the show, he had us come back stage and showed us all around. That's him with the dolphin on the platform, which is actually a scale they use to weigh the animals.

We all had the chance to get "kissed" by a beluga whale. It was Sam's turn here.


We were also able to feed and touch the whales and dolphins.
