"The Best Day Ever"

Hannah has always wanted to swim with dolphins. She finally got her wish. Her dream is to become a marine biologist and work with dolphins or orcas. We traveled to a water park called Xel-Ha about an hour away and swam with the dolphins right after we got there. Hannah, Kayla, Doug, Jill and I all swam with them. It was my first time also, so I really enjoyed these sweet animals. Todd and Randy took a ton of pics and video. At the end of the hour long session, the dolphins push you up on your feet out of the water. It was cool, but a strange feeling. Kayla had to work through some fear of the smaller fish swimming all around under us while the dolphins were near, but she did it and finished just like the rest of us. Hannah said at bedtime that night..."Mom, this was the best day ever." It was all worth it for that alone. We also snorkeled and rode tubes/swam down a lazy river. Tara held some big birds, but I have to scan that picture later.
