I said I was going to make it to Sea World this month and I did! Justin and I were able to spend all day Saturday at the theme park. It was his first time at Sea World so he was quite excited to see what the park had to offer. I ran him all around seeing all the different shows and aquariums around the park. We were having a great time until the fun photo experience…

As we left the Shark Encounter, they have a photo area where you can have your picture taken inside a plastic shark to look as if you are being attacked. (I know this is not such a great photo area to have right outside the shark encounter where tons of kids can now be afraid they will be eaten.) We decided to have our photo taken so we would have a fun souvenir.

The photographer told us they would take two shots of us. One with me in the shark and one with Justin in the shark. How simple is that? Well it is not. The woman starts barking orders to Justin on how to pose; asking him to get into positions that his body just could not do. He whispered to me that he didn’t think he would be able to do it. Then the photographer explains to me how she wants me to let go and only hold my body weight with one hand and stretch out of the shark. Now I am in great pain. I could only hope that the picture would go fast but it doesn’t. She keeps yelling at us to scream louder and look my distressed. Finally, I just SCREAM in pain and she smiles and takes the picture.

Of course we are not free yet, we have another photo to do. Learning from our first experience, we make sure to pose in a easier way so we do not suffer and we get a great photo:

After the photo shoot was done, Justin reminded me that after all the America’s Next Top Model we watch we should had been pros. I am glad we took control during the second shoot. It made for a great photo and allowed the fun photo to be fun and not painful. I think the photographer may have missed her calling as a dominatrix.  :)
