Instead of giving Ella a whole bunch of toys this year we decided that a trip to San Diego’s Sea World would be a great gift -  she loved it, she got to choose between breakfast with Elmo or Shamu…

What can I say she loves that red monster, Elmo!

After breakfast we moved on into the park and saw and did lots of different things like: Watching the Killer Whales through the wall of the big glass pool, that was cool, only a few inches between us and them.

We moved on to the Dolphin pool, Denis and Ella tried to touch the dolphins and succeeded.

The biggest event of all was of course the Shamu show in the big pool, that was great but with the sun and heat the girls thought is was a bit too long… still a great show.

There are so many things to see and do a tSea World, here Ella is holding a Sea star and on the other picture she is posing infront of the pink flamingos.

We all went on a cabel car ride while at Sea World much to my dislike… but Ella really wanted to go and oh well we all survived.
