This year we decided that instead of planning a party, we would just take our little guy to Sea World for his birthday, so...
Here we are...Sea World Bound!!!
(puppy also made the trip, so he gets a Sea World bound pic too!)

After 3 hours in the car, we all weren't as happy as the above pictures portray :[ And, well, once we got there, we still weren't too happy standing and waiting in line...but it was well worth it!
First thing we went to was the Sharks, and well, someone was pretty fascinated...
After Sharks, we headed over to see the Sea Lions and Otters!
Then it was time to go meet Aunt Mo, Andrew and the girls for some Water Park fun!!! This was BY FAR, Nolan's favorite part!
It finally came time to check out the actual shows, so first up was "The Cannery Row Caper," which I didn't get any pictures of...oops! I'll just tell you that Nolan followed the Sea Lions all over the stage!
We then went to check out the penguins, which Nolan enjoyed...of course! And, after that, Lexi, Lauryn, Nolan and I chilled out while everyone else road rollercoasters...NO Thank You!
We parted ways and planned on meeting back up for Shamu...in the meantime, Nolan passed out with his new friend...
...it only lasted about 25 minutes. 
However, Brady and I had the op to take a pic of ourselves!!! 
And, once we re-grouped, Aunt Mo took a pic of our little family before Shamu started! (My arm is held out in front of me cause I was holding a piece of popcorn towards the camera so Nolan would look up!!!)
...and our little guy was in awe. 
I mean, just look at the wonder and amazement in those big, brown eyes :)

And, so does Shamu! 
Nolan actually clapped at the end of this show, so it all ended on a good note...until we started the drive home (yikes!). I think his souvenir T-Shirt explains it best...
We got to watch the Shamu family swim for a while...
...and our little guy was in awe.

The show starts, and...

...we are still in awe.
I love it!
And, so does Shamu! 
Finally, onto Azul!

...but, then you see him in it and can't help but fall in love with that little ball of Trouble!
Happy Birthday Little Man!!!
