After the Polar Play Zone, we sat in front of the dolphin viewing for awhile. It was magical! Every time one would glide through the water in front of Charlie, her eyes would get so wide and she would just chatter away at them. She also got to dig in “tidepools” for different shallow water animals.

Our second to last stop was the gift shop, where we were met with this GINORMOUS plush penguin. It can be yours, too, for exactly $399.99! After a few purchases for her stocking, we shared a quick lunch and of course, an iced pumpkin sugar cookie (her favorite!). All in all, a really fun mommy/daughter date and I’m so happy that I was able to take her!!
