There were people outside and in the rooms next to us yelling into the night. Most of us were asleep (all 8 of us shared a room) ...but it was bothering Rebekkah and so she started yelling about the people yelling and about how she couldn't sleep. Well, of course that woke more of us up!! She was so freaked out, and just as I would start to doze off again, she would yell about it again! (This went on for quite some time) Oh my goodness, it was hysterical (well, not that night, it was irritating, but the next morning we were all cracking up)...so the room is totally dark and I am trying to turn on the fan by the window so that there will be some "white" noise, so we can all go to sleep and not hear the people. Doug and Nicole's i-phone was in reach and so I was trying to use the light from it to find the switch for the fan, so I wouldn't wake anyone up further with turning a light on. I tried to explain to Doug what I was doing, but he was out of it, and when I gave him the phone back, he promptly set the phone to making "white" noise....which sounded like the hideous static on a TV, and very loud. This woke more people up... and I am trying to ask him to PLEASE turn it off, and he keeps thinking I just want a different noise .... and David keeps waking up and asking, what the heck is that noise? It was a zoo...!! The only person who slept through it all was Nicole...she must have been deaf!
So anyway...back to Seaworld. It was very cold that day, unfortunately, but we did all the shows and fed the dolphins and pet the rays...etc.
The shows were pretty good, I seem to remember them being better when we went to Orlando, but that could be because it was the first time I went, or it could be because we went in the summer, and they do more in the summer time.
We went to a show later in the day that had been recommended to us, and we ended up enjoying it the most. There were all these trained pets, of course dogs...but then there were also pigs, and cats and ducks...who knew you could train a duck?? The picture below is a cat on a tight rope.
I don't have any pictures, but at the end of the day everyone decided to go on a roller coaster that had a log type ride at the end....so it was in the water. All the kids were cold and we warned them they might get wet, and we were driving home that night, so wet clothing might be uncomfortable. They went anyway and loved it, and they didn't get wet (the first time)....so they went about 5 more times in a row....of course on the very last run they all got soaked! Abigail, is so upset and wants to find someone to blame it on, so of course that person is me, good old mom! " Mom, why didn't you tell us we would get wet??" "What? I did!, you didn't listen" "But Mommmm, you didn't tell us it would be this wet!" "Abigail, the ride is in water...of course you can get wet!" Hello??? It took her awhile, but eventually had to deal with the fact that it was her choice to go on the ride!
