Sea World - Kaile's Dolphin Adventure

For about 3 years Nana Peterson has been telling Kaile that when she turns 8 she could be apart of the dolphin adventure program at Sea World. This was her year, and she loved every minute of it. They were able to learn about some dolphin anatomy, (Kaile's favorite was to see the dolphins ear), use hand signals to tell the dolphin to do tricks (they got to hear their dolphin sing twinkle twinkle little star under water), and watch them play.

This is Kaile getting her picture taken with a dolphin. The pictures turned out really cute, I just have yet to scan them in...

They were splashed plenty, and then each of them took their dolphin for a walk.

Kaile kept jumping up and down while inside the pool. She just couldn't keep still. Later that day I asked her if the water was really cold, and she said, "No! I was just so excited I couldn't stop moving!" She had an amazing time.

After the dolphins we played at Sea World. The girls had a good time together while Daddy and Garrett went on Atlantis...

And the boys got soaked.... That's what happens when they put all the weight in the front!

If you haven't noticed before...Garrett and Claire are my huggers. They love each other and are very close.

The kids were getting ready for the Shamu show. We were sitting in the "splash zone", so they decided to strip down to bathing suits. Mommy was very happy that we ended up NOT getting wet.

All in all it was a great experience, one that Kaile will never forget!!
