Dolphin Encounter II















The first picture?! Half of the people did not want to get in the water. Uh oh, Mama started guessing what was going to happen. The trainer had the dolphin spray us!

Cupcakes usually uses her pacifier when she sleeps, but she was only half awake. She looked like she was actually getting into petting the dolphin in the last picture. Mama asked that the trainer to let Cupcakes pet the dolphin once since she stayed an observer most of the time, so the trainer let us all pet the dolphin a few more times. Mama lowered Cupcakes each of those times.

Seeing the pictures, Mama realized that while monitoring her own comfort in the cold water, holding half-awake Cupcakes, making sure that Cupcakes was comfortable in the life jacket that was a little too long for her torso, enjoying the experience as much as possible herself, involving Cupcakes in the experience and monitoring Cupcakes' comfort, she had no idea how Cupcakes was really doing in the pool. The pictures really captured Mama's experience. Thank you very much for these precious pictures, Uncle Chris!
