SeaWorld or Bust: Part Deux

Ok, so where was I...? Oh, I was at the part where Bri was texting me. Ok, so all day, I was texting him.
The rest of the group went on the roller coasters, while Ash and I were waiting on the ground waiting for them. The Kracken had a long line, but they were on that ride while waiting for Manta to open. (BTW, Manta opened about 11:30. The time when we were waiting for Manta: 9:45. Ugh) So we went to the other side of the park, where we thought there was the Dolphin Cove, where you can pet the dolphins, but that was on the other side of the park. So we saw the dolphin nursery, where they had not-too-little dolphin "cubs" (IDK why they call them "cubs", they don't even look like lions.). Then Manta opened, so they were in line for about an hour before they finally got off, and then we went to eat FOOD.
Lunch was good. I got the kids meal (Hey, I wasn't exactly hungry.) that had chicken tenders, (only two! What the fambusel?! I'm big, I need three.) delicious french fries with like 20 different spices, (Those were yum. Some of the spices were, shock, spicy, but some were nice and mild. All in all, a wonderful blend of spice and aroma.) 4 cookies with a souvenir bowl that looks like Shamu, and a little kiddie cup. They put ice in my apple juice. Who does that? Who does that?
After eating at "The Spice Mill" (That's what it was called.), we went to see the dolphins at Dolphin Cove, but we took the long way, and that's when we went past Shamu's Show and the kid area. I rode every ride in the kids' place. There was Shamu's Express (A mini roller coaster. Too short to cool you off.), there was this spinning tea cup thing that went IN THE AIR while you were still spinning (Don't recommend looking around, you'll hurt your neck. Ow.), Ocean Commotion (Where we were yelled at because we were screaming too much. Well, you old fart working the ride.), the carousel which was alot of fun (especially wearing aviators and looking tough on a little spinning kid ride), and we were going to ride this drop thing that's a mini version of the Doctor Doom ride at Universal, but it closed because of tech difficulties.
Once done with the kid area, we went across the sidewalk to see the 2:15 Shamu show. It was cool. I would post pictures, but that means sending a slideshow to my email, then posting it. Nope, not going through that trouble. I got one picture of a Shamu mid-backflip. Awesome. Only complaint, we sat in the very front of the splash zone. How soaked did we get? We hardly got a drop. We sat in the splash zone to cool down, not to be tortured by watching people to the right and left of us get soaked. Evil Shamus.
Once done at the Shamu show, we got drinks, then started the hike to Dolphin Cove. Big park. My feet hurt right now. The two chaperons (My group had one, but we met up with two other guys, and so we were with them for pretty much the rest of the day. I think one of them started like me, cause he kept trying to flirt, and I also was out of dress code and took off the jacket that I was suffocating in, revealing a cami with spaghetti straps. I think his name was... See? Very forgettable.) were having trouble deciding which long way to take to get to Dolphin Cove, so I showed them the easy way sitting right in front of us, and they were all like oh, duh. Duh. We walked to Dolphin Cove, which was in the Key West area, but it was closed, so we walked 30 seconds to the Stingray Lagoon. I didn't pet these, but I have felt a stingray before. Imagine velvet. Now imagine that velvet slimy. That's what a stingray feels like.
After Stingray Lagoon, we went to one of the many gift shops, where I got Shmu. He's a whale. Kinda big actually, but he was the smallest size they had there. It was either him or a dolphin. Since we saw Shamu, I got Shmu.
We saw some teachers, and this was when I was jacket-less. I felt guilty being out of dress code and seeing them. I was covering my shoulders and back with my hair, hiding my straps, both bra and cami. You know what that's like, right?
By that time, it was time we went back to the buses, and it looked like it was going to rain too, so we went back. We got on the bus, and not 30 seconds later it started raining. First light, then heavy, then storming. People started coming on the bus like mad. It died down about 15 minutes later, and (Bipolar Florida.) then it was all sunshiney.
Wow, crazy weather. Locals hanging on the palm trees, "We love it here!" Dumba$$e$, I say leave it to the Cubans and get the hell outta there.
Yeah, on the bus ride home, I was listening to Spark of Insanity. I had my ipod on shuffle, and it came up, so for an hour and thirty minutes, I was laughing to Jeff, Walter, Peanut, Achmed, Melvin, and Jose. Ashley was sitting by her mom the ride home.
It was freezing on the bus! It was so cold, I was forced to do the thing where you put your arms in your shirt (I put my jacket back on) and keep them warm. I did that, but my poor legs (I was wearing shorts) and feet (Sandals!) were freezing. My feet were cold all day though. Wearing sandals in the rain, not too good! Shmu was keeping me warm though. I was still begging for warmth when we got off the bus.
So once I finally got off the bus, I had a field day just trying to find my mom. When I finally found her, we went to Wendy's so I could get some chicken nuggets (Yum, the spicy ones. Don't ever call me a spice wimp!). On the ride home, I was telling her about my day, and just about as we were getting out of the car, I start to tell her about lunch. I say "french fries", and she starts chewing me out about my "addiction" to french fries. "Stop eaitng them, they go straight to your a$$." That shut me up, and put me on "cold mode" towards Mom. Nobody else, just her. Like I said, I just stay pisses off at HER.
Overall, fairly good day. I wasn't waiting on the ground for everything, and I was texting Bri. I was happy, except when Mom was chewing my out about my "addiction" to french fries. That just pissed me off.
