Worse thing come when I forgot my Mobile phone, not once left in my purse.
In this era, where mobile phone connecting people everywhere, that means, I'm in trouble. How can I kept contact with Renny.
I'm only said that I will wait in front of the gate, while there were two gates.
Anyway, I kept my faith that we will meet somehow.

We arrived by Taxi on 10.30 and let Josh played near the main gate (at the bus stop). After 30 minutes, I decided to took Transit Bus from the Main Gate to Ocean Dream. Since the bus stop on each attraction place, took me around 30 minutes to arrived.

When we arrived, fuih, we finally met, Renny has been patient waiting for me also (both of us wait on the different gate). Anyway, whatever happen, I'm glad that we could finally met.

Josh inside the Transit Bus. Clean and feel comfort.
I guess during normal season, shall be full of passengers.

We started with watching 4D turtle movie. I forgot the title. But Josh and Matt, both of them sit quietly with open wide eyes starred to the screen.

While waiting for 4D movie, we took a shot

After the 4D movie, we took lunch near the area. Harya (Renny's husband) took care of Matt and Josh while both of mommies enjoyed eating.
I saw matt is a very active boy, enthusiastic, and curious about everything. Josh find his spare mate, therefore they keep running all over the place.

See the twin on the shoes and water bottle

Next destination, we saw the Bird and Sea Lion (Ok, I'm mixed between seal and lion sea. I thought that animal is same, but what I found out, It's different. Correct me if I'm wrong ^^).

While wait for the show, Josh played with other

Thirsty Josh

Kids, stand in the front. (it's prohibited actually :p)

Matt felt asleep and Renny took him out from the attraction place to duck pool side. See both of them enjoyed seeing the swimming ducky ^^.

Josh and Matt enjoyed the ducky pool.

We end up our day, saw the Dolphin attraction (we saw the last 5 minutes), But yet, we still have the chance to watched dolphin whip out of water several time. The last attraction must be the climax ^^.

Both kids seem to tired, we decided to end up our date. Later on, Daddy pick us on Matt's house.

Tips:
- Check the Schedule of the Show. (I have checked through internet, but somehow, it could change, better called next time). If you bring small kids, while show time, don't sit in middle of crowd, just choose the front seat or the other side area, anticipate if the kids get cranky.
- Bring the Kid's food and lot of Water.
- Bring spare cloth.
- A Stroller help a lot ^^. Must bring if you have.
