Spooktacular at Sea World

Since we had Sea World passes, we decided to go to Sea World for their annual Spooktacular event. My mom and Chuck came with us, so we left Friday after the kids got home from school.  We ate dinner at Buc-cee's on the road and went to bed shortly after we got to the hotel.  We stayed at the Comfort Inn and had a relaxing morning.  We went and ate the continental breakfast and watched TV in the hotel room before heading to Sea World at 10 am.  All the decorations were Halloween themed and the kids "trick-or-treated" around the park using a map.  We went to shows and looked at exhibits all day.  We ate at the Smokehouse and planned to watch the 8:30 Shamu show.  Before the show, we walked around while it started to get dark, and all the scary stuff started coming out.  We walked through the "doll" area and all these broken/scary dolls walked around and followed us.  We also walked through a Zombie spot and that really freaked the kids out.  Near Shamu's theater is the Crazy House section, and all the weird "sick" people yelling and screaming.  The kids handled it pretty good, and only cried a little.  I think Ell just walked with her eyes closed the entire time.  The Shamu Halloween show was a lot of fun, and then we headed back to the hotel.
Sunday morning was a lot like Saturday with TV and breakfast.  We drove back to Richmond and the kids went to Awana Sunday night.  While the kids were at Awana, the adults enjoyed a meal at Pappa's BBQ.
