Up close & personal with his best friend! 🐧 Animal Encounters at SeaWorld are 50% off this week starting NOW, during their current Black Friday sale. I do these once a year with my kids = unforgettable memories! 🥰 @seaworldsandiego


These have been such a great way for my kids to learn and foster curiosity about the animals around us. They wouldn't have had these opportunities otherwise to create such special animal connections. 💕
