The next morning, as Ben enjoyed his breakfast I took this artistic pear picture and then we headed back to the swings before realizing that a trip to Sears was necessary so that Diana could sell us a battery and we could be assured that Dave wouldn't have a work threatening accident while installing it.

Next we parked the car at SeaWorld where Ben studied the schedule and we headed first to the Pets Rule show

to see amazing animal tricks. On our way to the next show, we stopped to see the seals

before going to the Fools with Tools show where two sea lions put on a show for us with a ball balanced on their nose and a dive into the water a lap of the pool climbing and discussion before trying to get into the ferret's house and doing a final strut before the show ended.

Next we went to the dolphin show where we sat in the Soak Zone for the performance as the musician sang and the barker tried to sell dolls as the trainers assembled and the dolphins appeared and assumed odd postures as they made their way and assumed even better postures while I kept missing shots of their jumps until I got a good one so that after a few extra pictures we could say good bye and head off to see the star fish which raised Ben's appetite for a ChipWich (aka cookies and cream on the left coast).

The final event was the Shamu show. There was a buildup and people were ready in the soak zone as the fog came and the whale rider set up this final picture for me so that we could go home to dinner.

Ben was ready as my quiche pasta and vegetables came to life.
