Sea World and Chuck-E-Cheese

 We had a great Labor Day weekend down in Orange County with the Goodmans. Joel and Carly came down for the long weekend so we headed down for a fun day at Sea World on Saturday. Unfortunately, Jared had to work so he was unable to go. It was Ethan's first Sea World experience and he enjoyed it. I think his favorite part were the two shows we went to: Shamu and Blue Horizons. He clapped with the audience and seemed to get into it. My favorite show was Blue Horizons: it was quite entertaining with the divers. Tanner was an angel and hung out in the stroller most of the day. Ethan got to play in the kids' area for a while and see a few Sesame Street characters. He was very well behaved all day, especially without a nap and having been up since 5:45am. He is quite the energizer bunny that keeps on going!

On Sunday after Jared's shift, he came down and met up with us. We had dinner and played a round of Polyanna with the Goodmans. Jared had Monday off so we hung out and were treated to Chuck-E-Cheese by the Goodmans in the evening. Ethan was content sitting on the rides and arcades pretending to play them. We had tokens but at his age he didn't know the difference. Between Jared, Joy and I we got enough tickets to get Ethan a prize at the end. He is one lucky boy to have such great Grandparents! We had a great weekend and can't wait to party it up again next weekend for his third birthday.
