Memorial Day Weekend

So Matt had a 4 day long weekend. Needless to say, we did a lot! On Friday we went to Seaworld. We watched the pet show and the Shamu show. Syd really like the pet show with all the cats and dogs. What gets me is how they train the cats - I look at Martha (our cat) and just shake my head. For the friends & family who know Martha you know there is NO WAY on this earth I could ever get her to walk a tight rope or even walk from "here" to "there" on cue. She does catch lizards - I'll give her that. Anyway, back to Seaworld...

Shamu had a baby a couple months back. Here's a picture of the "tiny"orca. The baby really didn't do any trick it would just swim around the tank when the mom was doing tricks. Quite cute.

Here's the typical Shamu picture everyone must take!

On a side note, you know those Shamu shows are the cheesiest thing out there. They try to make it all emotional and inspiring. This show was named "Believe." Gag. Another thing which I find amusing is that they try to make a new show every year. It's all the same thing. Shamu jumps, Shamu jumps with the trainer, Shamu splashes the guest, etc.

I guess the show did work - I "believe" Shamu is making me bitter and cynical! : )

Here's the 2 of us waiting for the show to begin.

For the rest of the weekend - Matt went fishing and water-skiiing. I did a mega amount of crafts (all getting ready for Syd's b-day party that's coming up soon). We did some other random house projects too. Busy, busy. To celebrate the holiday, we did go to a friend's picnic. On a final note, here are some flowers Matt & Syd brought home for me. I think they're very pretty so I thought I'd share them with all of you.
