Day 2 was a bit more busy than the day before, but for a theme park, it was dead. The weather continued to be amazing. The children saw the water rides on day one and were so bummed that we would not let them on. Day 2 we were ready, bring on the water rides. We packed a change of clothes for everyone. These were some wet kiddo's. They had a great time.
The Tiger show was fun. There is a section of the audience that the fence is labeled, caution you may get wet. Well, some of our girls were sitting in that section because you are right up next to the tigers. When the announcer came out he made it known that the section labeled caution wet is not for water. Tigers are very territorial and like to spray, hint, hint. On that note, my girls got up and ran. I was wondering how often that really happens. Sure enough, the white tiger strolls on out and lifts his tail and, grooooossssss. He did it like three times. It was nasty. I learned that the the tigers think whole milk is like ice cream to us. That is how they get them to do some tricks. I also learned that it takes about 2 years before a trainer can work one on one with a tiger. It takes that long to build the trust up. In the mean time the prospective trainer must work indirectly with the tiger. This is not the case if the tiger is a cub. That is a long time to decide if you trust someone.

Rides, rides and more rides. This is the end of day 2 and we are still not done seeing all the park. It was awesome.
