Discovery Kingdom

We recently took our first trip to Discovery Kingdom. I hadn't been there since it was still just Marine World and there were no rides. What an AMAZING change the place has gone through!

We had a limited amount of time to be there because of previous engagements so we didn't get to ride any of the rides. Instead, we did a "walk-through" and checked out everything that was there. We ended up buying their 6 visit deal package so we will get to ride the rides in the near future (when it isn't as crazy busy as it was this past weekend with almost 2 hour lines!!!)

Doesn't Cody look so cute chilling in the Discovery Kingdom stroller? He enjoyed the stroller so much that he actually fell asleep half way through our visit.



As soon as we walked in, we saw Shouka the Killer Whale.



Posing at the Dolphin Fountain.



Sylvester is such a silly cat. He stole DJ's cowboy off his head and put it on his own.

Cody wanted NOTHING to do with any of the characters so we kept him at a distance whenever any of them came around.



CHEEEESE with Tweety and Sylvester!



Sylvester stole Teri's hat, too.



Of course, they had to take a picture with the Looney Tunes stars Daffy and Bugs!



These cute little penguins were enjoying the heat. DJ informed me that these were African penguins since they weren't in cold weather. Not sure if he was making it up or if it was true.



My little cowboy...or is it redneck? Check out the black tooth courtesy of an ice cream sandwich.

Cody absolutely loves trains and cars now. I was SO excited to see that they had a Thomas the Train section. Cody LOVED it!!!!



They even had a Thomas Train that we could ride.



Cody couldn't wait to get on the train. He kept trying to push through the turnstyle.



Cody and Mommy striking a pose.



The Justice Leaugue didn't make an appearance so DJ and his Uncle improvised!



This the new baby camel, Kubla Khan.



A few days before our trip to Discovery Kingdom, DJ said that he wanted to ride either a camel or an elephant. He was so excited when he found out he could ride an elephant! I was pretty excited too! I remember riding both a camel and an elephant when they first opened as Marine World.

Meet Valerie. This is the elephant that DJ, Teri and I rode. What an amazing adventure! We had so much fun!!!







I saw these cute, little super hero capes at the front of Discovery Kingdom and had to buy them for the boys. Aren't these the cutest Superman and Batmans that you have ever seen? Even our dog, Scooter, enjoyed wearing the Superman cape.
