The Last of our Trip

Here's the last of our trip. We went to Sea World and it was a lot of fun. I hadn't been there since I was a kid.
There was a lot of sitting in the hot sun watching shows, but for a 3-year old, I think Hailee did pretty good. For someone who hates to be hot, I think I did pretty good. :)
There were a few areas you could put your hands in the water and touch the fish. Hailee was NOT having that!
I'm still trying to get her to put her hand in the water to touch the sting rays. Nope!
Look at her face, she is truly disgusted!
There was an awesome playground area.
And even some rides...
Since I never got a group shot of all of us together, here's some individual pictures of the whole crew. It was [me, Ty & Hailee (Jake stayed home with Grandma and Grandpa and had a little vacation of his own)], [Blake, Kaleena, Addy & Arya], [Bryce and Jen], and [my mom & dad].
















On our way back home, the coolest thing happened. As we were boarding the plane, the pilot was standing there to greet everyone and just as we were walking by, he stopped Hailee and asked if she wanted to come see the cockpit! They brought her in there and she got to sit in the pilot's chair and pull on the steering wheel (or whatever it's called in a plane). The pilot asked Hailee if she wanted to fly the plane back to Utah and she got this scared look on her face and whispered in my ear that she didn't know how. It was so cute. I told her he was just teasing, so she laughed, but I think she still wasn't too sure. They even gave her a little candy. It was really cool to be able to do that.
We had a great trip and loved spending some time with our family!

Oh, how fun! I haven't been to sea world since I was a little girl either. I'm glad you guys had a great time. That was seriously cool that the pilot let Hailee sit in the cockpit. I've never seen them do that. Lucky gal!!
