Marineland Fun!!!

We had the opportunity to swim with dolphins during the girls visits. I can't even begin to tell you how awesome it was. I am seriously in love and love the expressions from their eyes.

We took some pictures before hand of some silly stuff and getting a bite to eat before hitting the water.

We saw the biggest grasshopper EVER and took some picture before heading into the park. The water gets more turquoise the further south you head in FL. Here is was so pretty, I can't imagine what its like in the Keys.
My mom and Larry went in first. We watched and took pictures of them while we waited. We had to separate because we booked our tickets so late. They got to hold the dolphin in the water, feed them and touch them a lot. More hands on interaction in their class.

The kids and I got to actually swim and do some tricks with Tomo the dolphin. He was the smallest of all the dolphin, except for the 10 month old dolphin they had there. So cute by the way!

The girls were telling him to speak in the far top left corner, Jackson and I were telling him to spin, and then group pictures. We did get to rub his belly and feel his beautiful body. When we were in the water we got to spin with him and see him jump around.

We did so much with little guy. I think the most exciting for Jackson was feeding them. He got to give Tomo a high five and kiss him. He loved it and the girls were so excited. The smiles on their faces were priceless. We learned a lot and walked away with great memories.


So glad we got to do this. We spent a total of 30 minutes in the water and 30 minutes of learning about them. I would definitely do this again!
