Aquatica-numero quatro







This park ranks up there with any water park that I have been to or maybe will ever go to. This is a 10 on steroids. (my new rating scale).



It was so kid friendly it was in the SeaWorld family so it some dolphins there as well as a hugs fish tank. The tank with the dolphins actually had a water slide through it, so as you slide by you can see the dolphins in the big tank.
It had a "lazy" river that was not lazy they had the jets on high so it made the river fast and then they slimmed some of the sections to make it like rapids. It was awesome.
Another great feature was the life jackets, tubes, umbrellas were all included in the price and you could bring a cooler with food in it as some other parks don't let you.




LOVED IT, LOVED IT!!!

SeaWorld.
As most of you know the killer whale trainer was killed a little while ago and it has affected SeaWorld according to some of the employee's. The trainers did not get in the water at all with the whales.
However for the dolphin show, that was amazing. The dolphins are so fun to watch. They seem so nice as if you could have one for a pet.

Alivia was chosen to come down for one of the skits, and she was able to 'shake' a sea lions fin.
There were lots of rides and fun things to see and kept the kids busy all day.

SeaWorld was really fun, they had a big section for little kids, Kessler was able to actually go on some rides.
On the new "does Andrea recommend this scale" from 1 to 10 a 1 being NO WAY...to 10 being YES way!!
I would say 10.

The Whidden-Weddin'

A fun and too fast Whidden Wedding in Cardston, Alberta, Canada.

Seth number 5 in the Whidden family was married to Kim, it was a spectacular day, beautiful, a tad bit windy- but marvelous.

I love the pics to follow, below all of the Whidden brothers. From left to right. Tim, Jonathan, Ben, Gary, Jared and the groom Seth in the middle.Below all the siblings minus a sister Gina (we missed her terribly) it wasn't the same.
