Sea World - Day 2: Backstage at the Wild Arctic Exhibit


Of course, we had to start the day off at the petting pools. Eliza had fun getting her hands in the water. I'm not sure if she would have enjoyed it as much if the little fish had come up and started nibbling at her hand.

On my bucket list (if I had one) would be swimming with dolphins. Sea World has an interactive dolphin exhibit so these people paid the money and got to get in the water with the dolphins. Even though it wasn't me, it was so fun to see these people get so excited over their dolphin adventure.



I have decided penguins are a very interesting creature. They were really fun to watch.

I love the walking pictures with Eliza.

Our Backstage Experience
We got to hang out by the training pool for the Beluga Whales.  Ferdinand is very old and friendly. He stayed right there on the edge the entire time. The baby beluga was taking a break from all of the people viewing areas.


This is the polar bear containment area for night time. The security in here was crazy. You had to do some many things to open any door. And trainers were not allowed to be in with the polar bears unless they were sedated.


This walrus weighs a few thousand pounds. He is huge! We each had a chance to feed him and ask him to do a trick. He gave me a kiss...on the hand.



It was a once in a lifetime experience and we had a ton of fun.
