Cruise To The Bahamas: Swimming With Dolphins

Last week, I blogged about days 1 & 2 of our amazing cruise to The Bahamas! I was going to recap days 3 & 4 today, but our day 3 excursion really deserves its own post. We fulfilled a dream we didn't even know we had when we swam with dolphins!

We were really excited for this excursion but had no idea just how amazing it actually would be. It's definitely an experience we will treasure forever!

The excursion itself was twofold. First, we all put on life jackets and swam into a roped off section of the ocean with three dolphins. The dolphins did tricks for fish and swam around. We got to touch them and feel them swim up against us. We even got to line up and tap the water for the dolphins to swim up to us and then dance with them. We held their fins and spun in circles, and they did the same. There are few things cooler than dancing with a dolphin. In fact, I can't think of anything. Pure joy!

We didn't get any pictures of that part, but thanks to the $75 picture CD for sale at the end, we have pictures of the second part. We posed with the dolphins, got kisses, gave kisses, and just enjoyed touching and loving on these adorable animals. 

We look at these pictures and just can't help but laugh. I love seeing Parker's adorable smile, he loves seeing my big cheesy grin, and we will treasure these pictures for years to come!
