Miami Seaquarium - Day 3

On Thursday we went to the Miami Seaquarium.











It was so nice because it was a week day and there were not very many people there, but it was so stinkin hot outside!








This was so funny to watch! I don't know if it was more entertaining to watch the birds copy Spence or to watch Spence being silly. The birds would also try and copy the noises Spence was making.






Then we went to the shark feeding...





And hung out with the manatees for a bit...




Please ignore my sweaty self...



Here is the view of Miami from the Seaquarium:



We watched the sea lions for a while. It was so amazing to see the mother sea lions guide their babies and teach them.





They are so cute!







All of their sea turtles had been rescued from the ocean. They had either lost a limb, had been run over by a boat, were sick, etc.


He's cute!! ; )












Then we went and saw the dolphin show! So cute! It's crazy how smart dolphins are!



Each dolphin introduced themselves by doing a trick for the audience. Spence and I had a great idea!! I was going to stand infront and  he was going to snap a picture of me when a dolphin jumped up in the air behind me. They actually ended up being pretty priceless pictures! ; )






Yeah...I got a little wet! Apparently we missed the announcement at the beginning about anyone standing in the front would get soaked. It was actually quite refreshing in that crazy Miami heat! ; )



So amazing!



After the dolphin show we headed to the big stadium where the killer whale show was starting!







The show was awesome!! They had dolphins WITH the killer whale!


I was literally in awe over how amazing the show was! Something so big can be trained by someone 1/20th of its size. It's also crazy to see how much trust the trainer has to give to the whale. Multiple times she dove under water with the whale. SCARY!




This was the funniest thing! After the show we went down a little closer to see the dolphins and one came over to us and a couple of other people standing next to us. He had a fish in his mouth and was throwing it up and down for 5 minutes straight. You could totally tell that he was just trying to be silly and entertain us. It was the cutest thing! They are so stinkin smart!









It was such a fun day! And of course anything with this boy is fun!


On the way to the hotel from Miami we stopped at a beach just to enjoy the water for a bit. We weren't there for long because we were tired and hungry.



We ended the day in a trip to Walmart. We made general tsaos chicken for dinner and bought a mini cheesecake that we ate off of the rest of our trip. We also bought carrots and watermelon to snack on. Have I mentioned how awesome it was the have a refrigerator and microwave in our room?! Seriously...THE BEST when you are staying somewhere for days. 

Later we went for a swim in the infinity pool It was so nice and relaxing, especially since there was basically nobody else out there.




Thanks for following! More posts to come!
