Sea World was quite the day! Not as exciting as I remember when i went ten years ago, but we still saw a lot of cool things. It was only like a five minute drive from Surfers Paradise. Throughout the morning we just looked around at the aquariums and animal nurseries they had set up. We saw a huge shark tank with about twenty sharks, and a whole bunch of coral fish, and some sting rays in it. The sting rays are so big and gross...I cant believe my family made me swim with them before! They also had a "Paradise Winter" where they kept four different polar bears, with an underground viewing place so you could see them swim. There was a bay where 
probably like one hundred little penguins were....but they smelt so gross we could only watch them for a few minutes. There was also a really ugly animal they had a tank for, it was like a cross between a dolphin and a whale. They called it "Pig". The afternoon was the coolest part though. First we watched a "Waterski Wipeout" show where they had a play going on with waterskiers, wakeboarders, and even surfboarders doing tricks off ramps and behind boats. After that we got to ride their version of splash mountain...got soaking wet! 
There was a seal show on but we missed that, then we headed off for the dolphin show. That was defanitly the highlight of our day. They are so funny how they just jump and flip and dive like crazy. They also had a waterpark but there was too much to do we had no time to go there. Today we went to "Movie World" which is like a disneyworld but smaller. It was really cool too. We got to meet Batman & Robin, Marilyn Monroe, Scooby Doo and the bunch, The penguins from Happy Feet, Daffy Duck, Bugs Bunny, Tweety, 
Shrek, and The Police Academy people. The first part of the day we just walked around and looked at all of the displays they had, and watched some of the shows. They had Austin Powers and some disco girls dancing down the street...and they actually looked a lot like the people from the movie. We spent the afternoon going on all the rides. They have this crazy superman roller coaster that took us probably the fastest I have evern gone! That was a new ride to the park as well as the Batman Shoot. That was where they shoot you up soooo fast it is the wierdest feeling. There is a 4.5 gravity force..I guess that means a lot! lol. The "Lethal Weapon" is a roller coaster where you hang freely and do so many twists, turns, and loops, I thought I was going to puke. After going on those three our stomachs really needed a break. We went on their splash mountain and it was a 
lot more exciting than Sea World's. They take you through the mountain and there is displays and stuff in side and you go backwards down a hill. The drop is like ten times bigger and you get about ten times more wet! The Matrix Reloaded was actually filmed in one of the studios there, so we got to see the costumes and sets and stuff. I hated those movies though so I thought that was boring. They had so much cool stuff in all the stores too but of course they were so overpriced. But I did get a cool Batman mug! Tomorrow we have our first job interview!! So I will let you all know how it goes....hopefully this week we will both start working so that it gives us something to do. Tandri also wants to go golfing again tomorrow so we are most likely off to do that. Other then that not too much else is new here. We are off to make cookies! Miss you all!
