We ended our year in Girl Scouts with a day trip to Sea World. With their cookie money, each girl earned a ticket into the park as well as the Dolphin Encounter experience. Although it was pretty cold and windy, we had a wonderful day!
The Dolphin Encounter was a great experience for the girls. They got in small groups with a Sea World trainer and were "up close and personal" with many of the dolphins. They were able to touch them, feed them, and even learned some training commands.
Cooper didn't get to participate in the Encounter, but had a great time watching and getting to see the dolphins do some amazing tricks.
After a quick stop for lunch we went to the Shamu show. We started out in the upper section of the soak zone, but most of the kids decided to move down to the 4th row. They got soaked, but enjoyed every minute of it!
(The whole group, including siblings, but without all us moms)The rest of the afternoon was spent wandering around the park looking at the penguins, beluga whales, sharks, eels, feeding the sting rays, and watching the Pets Rule show and the Sea Lion show.
Most of the troop had left for the day, but Lisa and I decided to stay for a little while longer. We had a blast with the kids and decided to brave the Journey to Atlantis Ride. We all loved it, but Lisa and Lacey were drenched by the time it was over!
It was a bittersweet day for our troop. Our leader Brook will be moving this summer, so our troop certainly won't be the same next year. These girls have shared a lot of wonderful memories together.
