Sunday Alycia and her family headed to Seaworld and Mom and I along with Kira, Cameron and Piper headed to church. It was a first for me because the Bishop and Derek were out of town so I presided over the meeting. My very good friend, Dave Evans is in the Elders Quorum presidency so he sat with me. It was kind of cool.
After church we all headed down to Sea World to meet up with Alycia.
Sea World, as always, was wonderful. We saw all the shows and checked out all the exhibits. It was just fun being there with two of my daughters.
Kira has been getting much braver as she gets older. Until just recently she refused to get on any roller coaster, period. Lately though, she has been working her way up to bigger and bigger ones.
Today she decided to go on the Manta Ray. She actually was ready to do that the last time we were at Sea World but unfortunately it was closed.
Today, however, she not only did the Manta Ray but I was able to talk her into going on the “Emperor” which is arguably the scariest ride in Sea World and is definitely classified among one of the great roller coasters.
Mom watched the kids while Alycia, Trevor, Kira and I went on the ride. I know mom would have liked to go on the ride but she wanted Kira to be able to go and she knew how much I love that ride. Thank you, mom.
The Sea World fireworks started going the moment the roller coaster reached the top. It was quite amazing to watch them from the top of the roller coaster. After the ride, I grabbed this cool shot of Kira with the roller coaster highlighted by the fireworks.
Once we got home we watched a movie and before we knew it we had completely missed the New Year and it was 2024.
On New Years morning we would have all slept in, but Alycia and Trevor wanted to get ahead of all the traffic and left around 7:30 in the morning. The rest of us enjoyed the Rose Bowl parade and reminissed about the year that Kira marched a Sousaphone in the Rose Bowl parade with the Mount Carmel band. She left for home right after lunch.
