Swimming with the dolphins

On May 11, 2010 we went to a water park. The water park not only had water slides and other rides like that, but there was also a section that held a couple water animals. The first thing we did was swim with the dolphins! The dolphin we swam with was named Lukas. He was 11 years old, the youngest dolphin they had at the water park. He was very friendly. We were able to pet him , do a trick with him, and swim with him. It was so much fun!

After we changed out of the wet suits they lent us we watched the sea lion show. It was really cool! Sea lions can actually do hand stands (or flipper stands) and can be quite funny. Then we saw the dolphin show. It was even cooler than the sea lion show! They swim really fast and jump really high. It was really fun to watch.

After the show we were feeling hungry so we had lunch and then visited the reptile house. It was really small, but we did see a couple turtles including a snapping turtle, and a couple of snakes. Then we took a break and played at the kids center. After our break we watched the parrot show. It was really funny! One parrot drove a toy car, another pulled a small chariot, and yet another rode a unicycle on a tightrope! After that we were all quite tired so we left.

A concert in Valleta

On May 8, 2010 we went to a concert in Valletta. It was performed by Maltese. The best part about it was that every song came from a well known movie, such as the ones I've seen:
1. The Incredibles
2. The Lion King
3. E.T. (Well, I only saw the beginning, but it still counts)
4. Gone with the Wind
5. Madagascar
And the ones I haven't seen:
6. Indiana Jones
7. Pirates of the Caribbean
8. Hook
9. Robin Hood (Not the Disney one)
10. Schindler's List
11. The DaVinci code
12. James Bond
13. Rocky 4
I really enjoyed it, it was really fun to recognize a theme song from a movie you've seen.

Playmobile

On May 5, 2010 we went to the Playmobil factory. Now the factory is located at the other end of Malta, but lucky for us, Malta is a small island so it wasn't as bad a drive as it could've been. We had alot of fun there. We looked in the store, Annika bought a few things, and had lunch in the cafeteria there. There is also a room where you can play with about any playmobil set you want to, including the pyramid, the mansion, and etc. There is also a park behind the store part of it that has life size playmobil figures, horses, cows that you can actually milk, and alot more. We played there for much of our time at the factory. We also got a tour of the factory! We got to make our own playmobil guy and watch the workers make and box them. We also learned that all the small stuff was made in Malta and all the big stuff was sent to be made in Germany. It was really neat.
