Sea World, Snake Farm, Schlitterbahn...oh my!!

We have spent the past few days visiting my parents in NB and we had a great time!! Landon got spoiled with love and attention--he loves his grandparents and aunts!! We took Landon to Sea World while we there, we went during spring break and he LOVED it, so we decided to go again...good choice--we had a great time!! We really wanted to feed the dolphins this time, so we did it first thing when we got there!!
Landon and Dad feeding the dolphins. Landon was in awe...so were mommy and daddy.


This sweet little dolphin was waiting patiently for me to feed him. We were instructed to pet them first, then feed them. The dolphins were so sweet and peaceful.

This is the sweet baby dolphin, he is still nursing, so he didn't eat any of the fish. We had to wait for over an hour to feed the dolphins...it was hot and muggy, but it was well worth the wait!!

In an effort to beat the heat we enjoyed some Lemon CHILLS!!
While in NB Aunt Char suggested that we visit a nearby Snake Farm...YIKES!! Snakes are not on my top favorites of things, but I thought it might be a good learning experience for Landon, so we went!! There were hundreds of snakes (in cages of course!). Not only were there snakes, but there was a small petting area out back.
This is one of the peacocks that was freely roaming around. Landon so badly wanted to touch him!
As we approached the petting area I spotted a llama and thought to myself, "no way am I going in there if there is a llama in there". However, I saw toddlers and several children in there, so I decided to go in. It wasn't bad at all...Landon and I even got our picture taken with the llama.There was a sweet little goat that loved us for some reason, we didn't even have food like some of the other people did. He chewed on our clothes and he loved Landon's backpack. It was so funny!Despite the fact that the goat kept trying to eat our belongings, Landon wanted to kiss him. When Landon sees something soft and furry his reaction is to kiss it, fortunately he was never able to plant one on the little creature! Ha!!

Aunt Char petting our little friend! Thanks Aunt Char for taking us to the snake farm!!
We also spent part of one of our days in NB at Schlitterbahn with Aunt Char, Aunt Britt and Matt (Aunt Britt's Boyfriend) . It was definitely a happenin' place. I didn't take my camera to Schlitterbahn, so no pics of that excursion, but we did have a good time! Landon thoroughly enjoyed the kiddie water slides. He had so much fun going down the slides--there is nothing better than watching a kid have such a wonderful time. It was pure bliss for him!!
Needless to say, Landon was one sleepy boy after our trip!! We had a great time!!
