Hallowen Spooktacular - Sea World

We decided to take the kids to Halloween Spooktacular at Sea World this year. (Our neighborhood doesn't do much for Halloween and we have year passes to Sea World) We had such a good time as a family...even Richard had to admit that we had a good time. We spent the afternoon and evening riding the roller coasters, visiting the Polar Bears, Beluga Whales (Sarah wants to buy one), the Walrus. (I am always amazed at the size and grace of these animals) Richard and Hannah visited the penguins and feed the seals while Sarah, Andrew and I rode Kraken.
We walked down Spooktacular Lane where the kids trick or treated at several "stations" and got their baskets filled.
We finished the evening at the Shamu Rocks show...which is absolutely AMAZING...the strength, grace and size of the killer whales...even the baby whale is BIG! But to see these animals interact with their trainers just amazes me.
These pictures are of Andrew and Hannah sitting three rows away from the Shamu tank...they didn't stay there :-) Richard, Sarah and I were sitting 13 rows away....and they joined us later...I think that they decided that they had gotten wet enough from the rain
