Our adventures last week

Lions and giraffes and Chloe oh my!
 I looked out the window and what did I see...a backhoe impact hammer cutting up our street.  An old pipe had brought us such a neat surprise, someone's favorite truck right in front of our eyes.  Connor and I rushed out to the street.  We sat on our wall and watched the treat. But eventually it had to go, though it was awesome to see, a backhoe impact hammer cutting up our street.
 The backhoe drove down the street and around the corner...a few minutes later it drove up the street with a scoop bucket and started making a big hole.
 After the water pipe had been replaced, the backhoe scooped asphalt out of the dump truck and fixed the street.
The process took about 2 hours and we watched every bit of it.




Last weekend was Peter's work day at Sea World.  We invited my dad and had a blast.
 Connor wanted to see Penny Penguin from a distance.
 The polar bear was actually out roaming around.

 There were bubbles all over the place!
Connor pet a dolphin and a bat ray.
We stayed until about 2:30 then headed home for lunch and a much needed nap.  Connor was asleep before we were out of the parking lot. At 5:15 we headed back to the park.  At 6:30 the park was only open to GA employees and their families.  We caught the 6:45 sea lion show and the 7:30 Shamu show.  we watched the whales afterwards too.  The new baby whale was very friendly and kept swimming next to the glass.  Then we all shared a funnel cake and went home.
We bought year passes and plan on going back in two weeks for some Halloween fun.
