But even more monumental was Tyler meeting the height requirement to ride the Shamu Express. That doesn't happen very often to our "little guy!" But he was VERY proud. Now, if only we could convince Ikea that Tyler is actually 38 inches ... he would be able to play in the kids area while I shop. We've been turned away twice - try explaining that to a very pumped-up child!
Back to the roller coaster. Tyler was very excited when he got on to ride ... 
... but his bravery only lasted for a short time. Don't you just love the big sister? "Look Mommy - Tyler's crying!" 
Fortunately, he was able to dry off the tears when we met Santa at "The North Pole" within the Polar Express Experience. No surprise - Tyler isn't tall enough to do the motion simulation part of the ride, so we arrived at the North Pole before Dennis and Abby. This was Tyler's second time telling Santa that he wanted "a big pirate ship and a toy blimp" for Christmas. 
Dennis got to ride Manta that evening, before we took in the Sea World holiday show and fireworks. I snapped this shot off the preview screen - look at Dennis in the front row (far left). 
Front row seats at the fireworks show too. Tyler just cracks us up with his sensitive ears. But he's come a long way since July ... I think he enjoyed the display more this time. 
Who wouldn't? It was beautiful!
Thanks Dad for getting us into Sea World ... again! We love that perk!
