This past weekend we got to go to Gulf World Marine park to celebrate Maddie's birthday with our good friends the Loves. Maddie is in love with dolphins and so she chose to go see them for her birthday. This trip had been postponed twice due to sickness and weather so the kids were more than ready to go on Saturday! The weather was perfect and we had a great time. This is a picture of all the kids dancing before the bird show to the theme song from "Wreck it Ralph".
Maddie and Sydney watching the turtle feeding. The park is small, but the kids really get to get close to the animals and learn alot about them. This is Troy trying to help the kids pet the sting rays. They all got to touch one eventually and no one fell in the water so I guess this exhibit was a success!
Maddie had a great time. She was all smiles the whole day. Megan on the other hand had a rough day that involved me tripping while I was carrying her up the stairs and she fell down a flight of concrete stairs. It was pretty bad. Behind Maddie is the sea lion exhibit. An interesting fact was that the sea lion that performs in their show was born in captivity at the Indianapolis Zoo!
The kids in the "splash zone" at the dolphin show. This was Maddis'e biggest request was to get splashed by the dolphins and they got soaked so I guess mission accomplished.
This is the kids in the bird and reptile area. They got very close to all kinds of birds and got to pet a large turtle.
We stayed about 4 hours and got to see all the shows and exhibits. Perfect timing for the little ones and the momma's who needed a nap. We ended the day at Dairy Queen. It was lots of fun to make memories that will last a life time.
