Vacation Day 3

Monday was absolutely the best day ever!!! Don't get me wrong, I was thankful to be at the beach and to stay in a wonderful condo. I had no idea however, there would be some extras along the way. When me and Maddy woke up Monday morning we did our usual thing of walking out to the patio to say good morning and to discuss breakfast. My mom asked me what we wanted to do and instantly my wheels started turning. I decided to ask what our options were and when she replied our options were limitless I knew exactly what I wanted to do. I really was just going to ask to go to Gulfworld because I wanted to see the dolphins, but I joked with her and said so if I said swim with the dolphins? She said the sky was the limit. We started talking and then I learned my mom was really serious about swimming with the dolphins. We got ready and headed out. GulfWorld is no seaworld by any means, but it was a neat place to go and of coarse the animals were just amazing. Luckily I do have my pictures from this trip along with a video. This post will have quite a few pictures on it because my mom bought the whole cd of pictures from us swimming with the dolphins.

I'm going to put the video here since it is of the dolphin show. I will warn you it's a little lengthy and at one point I thought I stopped recording, but it didn't stop so you will see people and then my legs and my arm and then I got back on track lol. I know not everybody shares my love for these animals, but they are just so amazing to me. The youngest one was only eight months old and I just wanted to love on all of them.

After the dolphin show we went to a bird show then grabbed some lunch.

Up next is our dolphin swim. Our time was at 4:00 p.m. and normally it is done in a group of six. My mom and I some how lucked out and were the only two. It was a bit awkward, but it really was a neat experience. My step dad took Maddy for me. I think this is an experience many people should have because it is just amazing!

This beautiful dolphin, Cajun, weighs approximately 250 pounds. You wouldn't think you would feel it due to being in the water but you could def feel it. I was thinking please hurry and take this picture because I'm about to fall lol. 

I was making it turn around. I was a little unsure because I was trying to do as I was told and not mess up and the trainer wasn't as friendly as they appeared in the show lol. We think they were mad because they wanted to get off early and here we come wanting to swim...we got paid back at the end lol

It was a wonderful day and Maddy did really well watching all the shows. We ate at a place called Montego Bay and I got scallops and fries and Maddy got macaroni and cheese. We headed back to the condo and went swimming since Maddy didn't get to all day and I told her she could.
