Vacation Day 17 and 18

Day 17 was a crazy blur so I didn't log on to update. We went back to Animal Kingdom to finish up Jeremiah's booklet. We walked every inch of that park and it was something I will be thankful we did forever. It was so much fun and so very informative. I know because of this booklet we did so much more than we would have done without it. My feet are upset but the memories we made make up for it. In this picture Jeremiah is being presented with his Senior Wilderness Adventurer Badge. She made a huge announcement and a whole bunch of people applauded. It made Jeremiah feel so proud. After all that we went back to Magic Kingdom. We had a delicious dinner at Liberty Tavern and then went on a few of our favorite rides one last time. We got back to the hotel just in time for the fireworks and to go to bed so I didn't even turn my computer on.

Today was Day 18. We got up and had our normal delicious breakfast at The Wave. It was fun cause they were all saying Goodbye and telling us how much they would miss us. We've ate there every morning because it's so delicious and so convenient. Then we got everything loaded up into the van. Since we are going to Discovery Cove tomorrow we could get into Sea World Free today. So we took advantage and went there. It was really wonderful. We got there just in time to see the Killer Whale show. When it started I cried. They are such amazing animals. I was just moved. I told Jeremiah I was so embarrassed but he said it made sense because they are really cool. Besides it was hard to tell my tears from my sweat haha. We got to see several exhibits and then watched a really fun pet show with dogs, cats, and a bunch of other trained animals doing tricks. I found my paradise. They had a place you could feed sea lions...
Needless to say I could stay there forever and go broke paying for the fish to feed them haha. I LOVE sea lions and seals!!! Well and dolphins and whales and too many other creatures haha. But seriously for some reason sea lions are right up there next to dolphins. We got seats to watch the dolphin trick show and got to watch half of it. The rain decided we were done and some storms kicked up. They ended up canceling the rest of the show and pretty much closed the park. It was okay we were done walking anyway. So we headed to our hotel for the next 2 nights. Tomorrow I will be smiling like a dork all day since we are going to Discovery Cove. Just please please keep the weather away till after we are done. Last year it stormed really bad right when it was time for us to get in the water. It can storm all it wants.....after 6 pm!!!!

Jeremiah sounds pretty cool! Well done for achieving Senior Wilderness Adventurer! I think you should also take some credit for accompanying him on his quest!
Hope you have a wonderful day at Discovery Cove. Bet Selkie will be the first one you pick up when you get home!
