And of course you can't go to Sea World without getting pictures of Shamu. We did a lot of other fun things too, but Shannon's favorite were swimming in the hotel pool and going to the water park, neither of which are really great for taking pictures. We got tired of toting Shannon around the pool for hours at a time and got her some of those arm floaties and she now will happily paddle around completely by herself. She even willingly puts her whole head in the water. I do wish I had some pictures - she is so pleased with herself.

At Sea World I was feeding this really cute seal (or possibly sea lion, not sure really). There were a ton of ibises, egrets, and storks hanging about. One of them actually grabbed the fish out of the air after I threw it and before it made it to the seal (or possibly sea lion).

During the afternoon parade Shannon was holding her Ariel doll. Prince Eric saw her with it as their float went by and made a big production of winking at her and blowing her a kiss. Then he got Ariel to turn around and blow a kiss at Shannon too. Shannon was so excited.

I think her favorite part were the rides. She went on Splash Mountain (huge log ride) and Thunder Mountain (medium sized roller coaster) twice each.

Tom got some really good shots of the local wild life.

First day at Disney World. Shannon really wasn't nearly as excited as I thought she would be. In fact, we got her an Ariel doll and after that she was done - she just wanted to go back to the hotel and play with Ariel. I guess you can't win them all.

Waking up at Disney World all ready to go meet the Princesses.
