Gulf World Marine Park

On Friday Preston took a day off of work, and we took the older two out of school, and we headed to Panama City Beach to explore Gulf World Marine Park...
And we all experienced the animals whether we liked it or not...
Ha!  Really though... the kids all loved it!  After we finally forced Tyler to pet a sting ray he couldn't get enough and thats where he kept running back to.
I loved how small Gulf World was.  And how up-close and personal you could get to all the animals.
See Kate saying 'Hi' to the dolphins...

 And we went to most of their shows...
The kids (minus Tyler) sat in the splash zone and enjoyed it... yes even Brynn who has hated getting wet and refused to even go near a splash zone since her very first visit to Sea World!

And we loved seeing the turtles and sharks during feeding time.
And after a wonderful day there I decided to turn our day tickets into season passes :)

I love that Toller has something named after him there. :}

I'm surprised that the kids seemed to be so fascinated by the alligators because they practically have one for a pet...

Tate's hair is getting loooong!

That placed looked so cool, but the whole time I was looking at the pictures I kept thinking, "I bet it really stinks". I couldn't help but think of the penguin exhibit at the Denver zoo and it smelled REALLY bad. Did it stink?

I also couldn't figure out why the place looked dead. Was it because it was Friday and everyone was supposed to be at school????

I can't believe how many things there are to do out there. How many season passes to things do you have? =)

Mom, you crack me up. =)
