SMMG #1 yet again!

Dave found the perfect job!



To celebrate their #1 status, all employees of Scripps Mercy were welcome to a day at SeaWorld!

We were all required to wear BRIGHT blue shirts:

There were 500+ of us those shirts flocking the park this afternoon! I wish I took a picture of all of us at lunch. It was a pretty impressive sight, the sea of blue...
Me and Dave in front of Atlantis, a pretty fun flume ride.

In one of the cars ready for a good soaking!
Some Scripps folks surviving the drenching...

Shamu!
2 Shamus!
4 Shamus!
(because they name ALL their orcas, Shamus. Except for the babies, they're called Baby Shamu.)
A tank of California creatures:

blurry Leopard sharks!
We tried to show you some close-ups of their teeth. As you have noticed, we mention leopard sharks a lot and try to swim with them as often as we can. People are always fearful that we will get bit, but leopard sharks don't really have teeth!
See, NO sharp pointy big teeth!
The California State Fish, a shy Garibaldi!

But they're really not very shy. They are bold and aggressive creatures. We commonly see them swimming around in the ocean, too.
Checked out a sea lion and otter show. Very cute. Pic of me and one of the sea lions...
A walrus also had a cameo during the show. He was HUGE...
Polar Bear
Trying to take a good picture, I got distracted by something.
SMMG ROCKS!
