A couple of months ago the kids and I set a goal to memorize all 13 Articles of Faith. If they were all memorized by March 1st, then I would let them miss a day of school and I would take them to Sea World. Amazingly, they did it! And for the first time in my life I have the articles of faith memorized as well. Such a good feeling. I'm really proud of them, and I know they felt very pleased with their accomplishment. Bravo!!!
Andrew and Miles goofing off by the dolphins. Ruby was devastated to the point of tears that she was unable to pet a dolphin. We bought season passes so hopefully next time!
We were all mesmerized watching the whales.
I gave each of the kids 10 dollars to spend however they wanted. Ruby spent hers as fast as she could on cotton candy, and Miles immediately bought a huge popsicle. The two of them spent the rest of their money on treats and candy. Andrew waited to the very end of the day and spent his money on a stuffed dolphin (he loves his stuffed animals). He endured watching his brother and sister chow down on treats the entire day (of course he begged a few tastes off of them)--however I'm impressed with his self control!
Ruby with her cotton candy face :)
We were all fascinated by these HUGE bottom dwelling fish. They'd just sit there like statues in the water for minutes at a time. One of them apparently liked Ruby.

An amazing sight.
Cool shots of the kids and the whale! Looks like you guys had so much fun!
