Well…the all-star break has come and gone and even though it got off to a rough start for Matt (he was delayed leaving Philadelphia and missed his connection from Phoenix and San Diego!) we ended up having a relaxing, if not sun-burned couple of days

Braelyn is somewhat of an animal addict and she LOVES anything that lives in the ocean.  Jan and Bob gave her a magnet set for her birthday that is one of her favorite toys and she ALWAYS want to do the sea animals set so, needless to say, she knows all kinds of ocean animals, their names and what they eat!  A trip to Sea World was definitely something we HAD to do during the break.  We had a great time at the Shamu, Dolphin and Pets Rule show, as well as the looking at all of the animal exhibits.  It wasn’t too crowded and the animals were pretty active so we got some great close up views.

Mind you, Braelyn knows the names of, not just the normal animals like dolphins and seals, but she also recognized the manatees, sea stars, beluga whales, orcas and sea otters.  I guess we have Go Diego Go! to thank for all of her animal knowledge. 

Braelyn was funny because she thought that Sea World was its own city or state!  When we left Tom and Sheri’s house she said “we’re leaving San Diego now” and when we pulled up in front of their house after our all-day trip, she said “we’re back in San Diego Mommy!”  We had a great time with family and we are thankful for the time we were able to spend away from the field and look forward to going back to SD at the end of August.

Love, 

MLB Mama
