Sea World San Antonio

Ian and I took a 3 day weekend down to San Antonio probably 2 or 3 weeks ago and I am just now getting around to posting some pictures. I still have some to post from our visit to The Alamo, but that is for another day. Let me just say, I love Sea World and all the animals, so I hope you enjoy the pics!!


it was penguin mating season, this couple must have started early because they already had the baby penguin, and it was quite large as you can see.


this middle penguin was ian's favorite, it just kept waddling around and just has a funny look on its face, doesnt it?


nothing special here, just some pretty penguins


I FREAKIN LOVE THIS OTTER. I wanted to just steal him, he really wasnt much bigger than a ferret, I WANT HIM!!!


we spent quite some time with the sea lions because I love them too. They make me think of Annie and I just want to steal them, but they are a little too large for me to bring home :) We took some really great video of us feeding them and them making their super cute noises, but something happened to the video and I dont have it anymore, which makes me very sad


this sea lion caught the fish I threw down to him (or her, no clue)


this guy was begging for fish, if Annie were a sea lion, this is what she would be doing all day long :)


ITS SHAMU!!!!


this was during the Shamu "Belive" show, this is the part where 2 of the trainers ride on shamu and then shamu jumps in the air (with them still standing on his nose) and then they jump off and all 4 land in the water, I WANT THAT JOB!!!


this is from when we were feeding the dolphins, since it was a sunday in October the park really wasnt busy so we were able to get really close. Ian got this great picture when it was my feeding time (so thats my arm you see).

we got a video of us feeding the dolphin but i dont know how to post it, the file size is too long and my computer genius of a husband tells me he doesnt know how, and doesnt want to try either - so if you want the video you need to bug him about it!!

Annie wouldn't be swimming with her mouth open begging because she would be too fat to move anymore! haha!

Oooh what fun pictures! I too love otters so much and usually take gobs of pictures of them just sleeping all over each other in a pile. They are the cutest things ever! Also, are your videos on your camera? or a separate video camera...if they are on your regular one, you should be able to "edit" it shorter. That's what we do anyways.
