Marineland (Sea World)

Since we have moved to Biot, France we have taken the kids to Biot, Valbonne, Antibes, Mougin, and Grasse.

In Mougin, we found an artist that was having a 50 percent off sale, so we got a ladybug painting for Sarah and a small painting of Provence for ourselves. They were a great find condsidering artwork in Mougin is usually very expensive. It was neat to actaully talk to the artist!

Today January 1, 2011, we took the kids to Marineland (Sea World). We had a great time seeing the Sea lions shows (sea lions, &elephant sea lion) and Orca whale show. It was great to see the Sea Lions have a a mind of their own. Both groups of Sea lions performing had at least one that would sometimes do what the trainer wants and then do the trick they wanted to do. It was great to see personality.

The Orca whale show was Fabulous! They had 4 whales in the show. What beuatiful animals with speed and grace!

Marineland had serveral neat playgrounds in addtion to the attractions and shows, which the kids enjoyed. It helped to keep their attention with the attractions/shows with playground breaks!

We all had a great time!

Tomorrow we are headed to Cagnes Sur Mer, it is also called the city of painters. Its the honme to one of my favorite painters, Renoir in addtion to many others. See the articles below.
