The Miller Memoirs

SEA WORLD

November 8, 2009

We loved our time at sea world! We had so much fun feeding the dolphins, seals, and bat rays. We also loved the shows! In fact, Bryan and Amber were chosen to be in the dolphin show! They were introduced with a trainer as the Miller Family from Idaho. When they were introduced with someone else, I was sure that someone had made a mistake. It wasn't until the end of the show that it was revealed that the trainer was not a member of the Miller Family and that she was actually a trainer (she fell in the water as part of the show, which added suspense). I didn't catch on that it was all a part of the show until they announced the truth...the whole time I just thought there had been some mistake.

After Amber had fed the dolphin, the trainer told her to wipe her hands off on her dress (as a joke)...she smelled like fish the rest of the day!

Amber petting the dolphin!

This experience truly was a once in a lifetime experience! Both Amber and Bryan had so much fun interacting with the animals, and being a part of the show!! It was awesome!

The rest of our day at sea world was jammed pack. We went to every Shamu show available, we also went to an Elmo show, and a sea lion show, and we rode an awesome ride! Besides the shows and the rides, we also fed a lot of sea creatures, which I think was a highlight (at least I hope it was a highlight, because it wasn't cheap:))!

We also let the girls get their faces painted, which was another highlight for them. They truly felt special with glitter and paint all over their faces!
