o
It was a GREAT day. First stop: Shamu's underwater tank!!
o
o
A killer whale.
o
Shamu was having a blast. The whole area shook when he jumped out of the tank and splashed back down!
o
A movie.
o
Shamu apparently just loves puppies! A trainer brought a few dogs to the tank, and Shamu came over to say hello. And Deacon, notoriously fearful of dogs, didn't even run away!
o
o
o
Deacon later described the momentous face-to-face meeting.
o
o
Feeding dolphins!
o
o
o
A gift shop pic... I'm sure we have a hundred more just like it from Deacon's last visit to Sea World...

o
Famed marine biology expert Derek takes a look at a starfish. Note you can see the photographer's reflection in his sunglass lens.
o
o
I don't know what it is, but I'm glad it's extinct.
o
o
Even after his thrilling close encounter with Shamu, Deacon declared that the Manatee exhibit was his favorite part of the day!
o
o
o
o
A new friend.
o
o
The Shamu show!
o
o
After seeing Shamu's impressive off-duty antics earlier, the staged show seemed anticlimactic... except for the four huge, bright, spinning video screens that moved back and forth. THAT was the highlight.
o
Deacon and a walrus.
o
Checking out the polar bear caves... realistic sound effects drove the Alff kids out screaming soon after this pic was taken.
o
Fun pics in front of the crazy mirrors.

A final pic in front of the Shamu VW.
