Sea World

Dear Jack,

Today we went to Sea World for our friend, Mr. Ford's birthday. Mrs. Ford suggested we wear costumes and enjoy some Halloween spirit as well. We found that Mrs. Ford's Jesse costume was the biggest hit among kids while your little clown costume was the biggest hit among women. And yes, you kept that hat on the entire time we were at Sea World.

Just like last time, you loved the dolphins and the coral reef exhibits at the front of the park.

You and the Fords spent a lot of time just watching the fish.

I tried watching the fish, but found myself more captivated by looking at you.

Your new favorite exhibit, though, is the penguins. You had me take you on the moving walkway that goes along their tank four or five times.

Then after looking at penguins, you picked out some penguins at the gift shop.

And then found more penguins to take pictures with.

I was glad to see you enjoying the day so much. Everyone loved you in your costume. One random lady got caught taking a picture of you with her iPhone, apologized, and then said, "I just wanted to remember him!" You really did leave that hat on all day. I took it off of you at one point because I thought the elastic might be bothering you, but you asked for it back ten minutes later.

Seeing how they do up the park for Halloween in fun, but not too scary ways, I am tempted to make Halloween at Sea World a new family tradition.

After all, where else can you see Shamu, dressed up in a wizard's robe and hat?

Get a bonus chance to wear your costume?

And, possibly the most important to me, find just one more chance at a Jack play on words...

A play on words which will only get better next year if Jack really does go back for another Halloween at Sea World.

Love,
Mom
