Day 89 Seaworld

Today it was the third and final 'World' day out for this trip - 'Sea World'.

First thing to check out was 'Fish Detectives', a seal show with good guys, bad guys and a bunch of seals doing party tricks.

We also fed the stingrays at 'Sting Ray Bay'. Funny thing was though Bridget's arm rashed up where the flaps of the sting rays were rubbing her arm. We forgot she was allergic to fish, but I wouldn't have thought just touching them would bring on such a response.

We also checked out the shark enclosure and the Dolphin show which was quite impressive seeing how high they could jump (my guess about 3 stories).

Late in the afternoon everyone got drenched at this pirate boat ride where you could shoot each other with water canons. Then last event for the day was the speed boat and jet ski show.

Day 88 Coomera (Wet & Wild)

We knew the weather was going to be particularly average today and the forecast was for 2-3 inches of rain. So we figured one place that wouldn't matter too much would be 'Wet & Wild'.

Unfortunately there were a lot of school groups that all turned up the same time as us - must have been an end of year activity sort of thing. That didn't stop us though - all three kids and Dad were right into it. We dropped our gear under a big tent, sheltered from the rain and then hit the slides

My personal favourite was this vertical tube where you stood on a small platform that pulled away from under your feet.

Just after lunch Bridgie fell asleep in Mum's arms and pretty much stayed there for the rest of the day. Richie, Flickie and I kept at it, hitting Mach 5, the Black Hole, Tornado, Mammoth Falls, Kamakaze and Aqua Loop. We would spend about an hour out in the rain on the rides then come back to our spot to cover upin our towels and warm up a bit.

Regardless of the weather - Top day out!
