Tadhg and Sadhbh love MarineLand!

On Sunday, Tadhg, Sadhbh, mom and dad decided to make the most of the beautiful weather and visit MarineLand in Niagara Falls. Mom used to visit the adventure park as a kid but it was a first time visit for Tadhg, Sadhbh and dad. Tadhg and dad tried out some of the rides first. Tadhg was a bit nervous at first but after a spin around in a space ship he was keen to try the other kiddie rides.

Tadhg was the navigator for the day, consulting his map from atop dad's shoulders. Next stop was Friendship Cove where the Orcas put on a show. Tadhg was amazed to see these beautiful giants swimming in the blue lagoon water and wanted to stay for the show. Sadhbh and mom wisely stayed way back from the pool while Tadhg wanted to be right at the water's edge. Tadhg and dad were in prime position for the huge splash as the Orca slammed his tail fin into the water. The boys were immediately soaked. Tadhg was shocked initially but quickly realised how much fun it was and wanted it again...and again...and again.

After Friendship Cove and a quick change of clothes, the gang rushed back to the main theatre to see the dolphin and seal show. Tadhg enjoyed the show but was still talking about the Orca show.

It was a good chance to refuel after a busy morning.

The final stop of the day was the Beluga's pool where a group of snow white Belugas swam around looking at the silly humans watching them. One young Beluga took an interest in Tadhg and came up for a closer look. When Tadhg leaned over the cheeky Beluga spat out a stream of water all over Tadhg, dad and mom. Tadhg thought this was great fun and enjoyed calling the Beluga over.


After a busy day, mom and dad loaded two tired children into the car for the ride home. Luckily they had bought a season pass so another trip is planned to visit all the areas they didn't have time to see on this trip.
