The Puoci Girls took Dad and Grandpa Ed to SeaWorld on Friday July 6th and had a wonderful time. We sat in the "soak zone" for each of the shows but couldn't get wet. Mom got soaked, however, watching a movie! We highly recommend The Haunted Lighthouse if you get the chance, but watch out for catfish surprise.
