Aaron Meets Jack Hanna!






Aaron might have just had the best day of his life. Each year we get season passes to Sea World, and we feel like we have already gotten a big return on our investment after today when Aaron got to meet Jack Hanna! This was the main goal of this outing, and Aaron had it all planned out. We knew what time the special show started, and Aaron wanted to be sure to get on the "very front row but not the row for if handicapped people need it in case someone in a wheelchair needs that seat." We started off at the Shamu because it started a bit before the nearby Jack Hanna show - Scott planned to leave early to go stand in line to get Aaron's requested front row. Well, Aaron decided to skip out on Shamu (whoa) too and wait by the gate for the Jack Hanna show like a true fan! They were successful in the first row quest and just one kid too late to get to hold the python on stage which Aaron assures us he would have done. The show was great, and we were very up close... In fact maybe a bit too close for my liking with the cheetah and tasty size Leah squirming around on us... The trainers were also good about letting the kids get a closer look of the animals after the show too. And after the show, we stood in line, forgoing other Sea World adventures, so that Aaron who never poses for pictures could get his pic taken with his favorite star. He even got a personally addressed, autographed photo! Aaron has been all grins all day long! I only wish Jack Hanna could of had 5 minutes to hear how much Aaron knows about animals - I mean, the kid knows EVERYTHING. Aaron would even nod his head in agreement/approval with Jack during the show when Jack would give animal facts - glad Aaron did not have to correct him like he often does us! :)
