California Trip #2

Here is the second installment of our trip to California. We decided to take Claire to Sea World since I didn't want to do Disneyland being pregnant and not be able to go on any ride. Here are some of our favorite pictures from Sea World.
Here is our view in the "soak zone" of the Shamu believe show. Claire loved it. In fact her souvenir she wanted from Sea World was an Orca Whale (Claire insists you call it an Orca). The nice thing about our "soak zone" is we didn't get wet at all.
This picture is of me feeding the bat rays. You would put a fish between your fingers then put your hand in the water a foot or so deep and a bat ray would swim over you and suck the fish from between your fingers. It was a little creepy. Then here is a picture of Claire with her cousin Bode being penguins.
Claire loved touching the different Star Fishes in the Tide Pool.
We took Claire to the local discovery museum. Her favorite part was the giant bubble she could stand inside of.
The day before we went home we took Claire to the beach one more time. It was warmer so she wanted to put her feet in the water and play in the sand.
She even took a nice walk on the beach with her daddy.
Here is Claire, with all of her cousins, the night before we left for the long drive home. Claire loved this Woodie doll; she insisted that it needed to be in the picture. It was so much fun. It was such a great trip. Thanks!!
On our way home we decided to drive home the long way since Claire got sick on the way down. We stopped of at Multnomah Falls. We started the little hike to the bridge and we loved it. We held her the entire way up. Good thing Bryan is strong...he carried her more than I did.
