Touring with my Grandparents


Grandma Barb and Grandpa Kary are visiting and I have been very busy showing them around my new stomping grounds!  Grandma Barb brought me a special purple pumpkin that lights up!

 I took them to Sea World on Saturday and we saw Sharks and even got to eat in the restaurant that was right next to the shark tank.  I was very entertained by the fish swimming by. 
 I got to see a great acrobatic show at Sea World and of course I had to take Grandma and Grandpa to see Shamu. 



 Daddy won me a penguin and Grandpa won me a Whale.  It was a great day!
I also got to meet a princess!
 Grandma and I goofed off while Daddy and Grandpa went on the manta ray ride. 
 I also got up-close and personal with some rays!


 AHHH! I'm in the water!  This was a new view of the fish!
 Grandma was making silly faces for me while we waited for the carousel to start.  I rode a manatee!
 They had bubbles!!!
 Well that was Saturday.  I let them relax a little on Sunday but today I took everyone to my new zoo!
 I got to pet a blue tongue skink.
 Also, our new zoo lets you feed the giraffes!  They get really close and have very big tongues!



 We saw some flamingos and wide billed birds whose name I forgot. 

 We also took a train ride and fed more birds!  The birds really like Grandpa!

I've still got a few more days with before Grandma and Grandpa head back to Oregon so I must find some more stuff for them to do!  Tomorrow I have gymnastics and I will show them how I bounce!

Why Sea Monkey & Manatee?

So my new blog is titled Sea Monkey and Manatee because I am going to have a baby brother and February.  Just wanted to me sure our new family member was included on the blog.  I am learning to share even when it comes to blogging!

Sea Monkey has moved!

 We have moved to sunny Florida!  I also had to change my blog address so please change your link for my blog site! It has been a busy couple of months moving and exploring our new state!  We have been all over.  The top photos is me and Mom at the Eden Rock in Miami.  Daddy had a conference and we got to soak up the sun.
This is me in my swim gear at the new apartment.  It is going to be our home for a while as Mom and Dad have decided to build a house.  

 Soaking up the sun and eating a snack.
                                              It is hard work playing in the sand!

 Daddy and I at Seaworld waiting to see Shamu!  She is huge!  She also got me soaking wet jumping around. 
 Mom and Dad have taken me to all kinds of aquariums and places with sea creatures.  Here I am playing with my dolphin.  I was showing Mom how it jumps!
 Playing on the beach!  It is October but still 80!  I thought I heard Mom say it was fall... shouldn't it be cooler?

 Can't forget about the zoo.  This is at Zoo Miami but I also have a membership to my local zoo!  It is really nice too and only 5 minutes away!

Along with exploring the state, I'm trying new things with my hair!
It is Amazing what a little hard work can do! We went to the Art of Sand show this past weekend and I even got to test my building skills.  The show pieces were really quite impressive!
 Well I hope this blog finds everyone well!  We are getting settled and having fun exploring.  If anyone wants to escape the cold just stop by and see us!  We are loving Florida!
