Family reunion vacation - Part Two, Parker style

Parker style apparently means going non-stop from theme park to theme park for days on end, with no rest - but having a blast doing it! Day one we went to the San Diego Zoo. Guess who forgot to bring the camera? There we were treated to some true miracles of nature - including getting shat on in the aviary (Veda), and watching up close and personal as a gorilla disimpacted himself with his finger, then scooped up his success to smell and taste it. Ahhh, sweet memories.

Next day was Seaworld. I DID bring my camera this time...and check out those mad skills! The Shamu show is always my favorite thing at Seaworld. These huge gentle creatures are amazing to see in real life. It always gives me chills.


Veda and Merrit insisted on sitting in the front of the ride on Atlantis (you can see the huge drop at the end of the ride). They were soaked to the bone, but got right back in line to do it again. :)
Veda's favorite animals at Seaworld are the bat rays. You can buy squid and feed them by hand.

Ok, this one is at the Zoo. I did have my phone. And the one zoo picture I have is of a fake polar bear.
I had so much fun getting to know my little nephews - Brigg and McCord. This is McCord and I bonding. I miss him.... :(


We've still got Disneyland, California Adventure and Universal Studios to cover...so stay tuned!
