Today was the first Tuesday that we did not have a class or other appointment to occupy our day. We just finished a La Mesa Community Rec class called "Say and Play en Espagnol." Linda and the boys attended the class together and it turned out to be one of Leyton's favorite classes to go to. It was a very casual atmosphere of learning Spanish through visuals as well as singing. Leyton can sing a couple of simple songs in Spanish now and Lincoln has learned to say simple things as well, both in English and Spanish. We were going to enroll again for the next session but unfortunately we were 1 of 2 families enrolled and so they cancelled this session. Bummer for Leyton, he was really looking forward to it.
So as a fun break from our busy schedule (since Leyton has preschool 4 days a week), we decided to head to Sea World. The other reason we were going on this particular day was that we need to buy FUN cards for Mommy and Daddy, since the last day to purchase them was 4/30/08. The Fun card allows you to theoretically pay for one day and get to play for free the rest of the year. Leyton has a Silver Passport, which is basically the same thing except that it's always a full year from activation and it includes parking ($10/visit). We love to go to Sea World because there's a good variety of things to do, more than just seeing a show. Sea World is currently renovating the kid's play area which should be opening by the end of May. Aside from being a huge playground it also includes a water park which is always a refreshing alternative for the kids when the weather is warm. We look forward to when the kid's play area reopens.
Today's visit to Sea World included something that has never happened to us before. Both Leyton and Lincoln fed the dolphins and bat rays. In the past, Leyton has always been the only one to feed the animals, but today, Lincoln was very interested and willing to feed the animals and had a great time doing it. Feeding the bat rays is a little tricky since you are supposed to put your hand down far enough for the bat rays to swim over your hand and suck up the food. Lincoln wasn't completely successful but he definitely gets an "A" for trying. Aunty Nancy and cousin Grace met us later on at the tide pools and the kids ran around together enjoying the space and freedom of a non-crowded day at the park. We'll keep you posted to when the kid's park reopens, since we'll definitely be spending some time there this summer.
