This is how close we got to the Killer Whale...it was so cool!

After visiting Niagara Falls, we decided to take the kids to Marine Land. My mom had gone with my sister a few months back and thought Mark and Makenna would enjoy it. They definitely did. They got to see a show with Dolphins, Sea Otters, Sea Lions, and a Walrus, then went on to see a show with a Killer Whale, and finally finished up with a visit to the Beluga Whales where they actually got to pet one and feed it! That was definitely the highlight of their day. Makenna was all about it. But as we all know, the girl has no fear. She loved it. Mark was a little more hesitant, throwing the fish as fast as he could into it's mouth. Makenna would have probably stuck her hand in it's mouth to feed it if we would have let her! Mark said at the end of the day his favorite part was, "getting sprayed by the Orca Whale and petting the Beluga Whale." My mom, dad, Makenna and I made sure we stayed far away when the whale was getting everyone wet, but Mark wanted to be in the action and actually asked Matthew to take him over there so he could get sprayed too! My children sure like Drama! (We couldn't ask Makenna b/c she was asleep at the end of the day...thank goodness! But later all she could talk about was the "white -beluga whales!")
