After getting into groups on the boat by excursion, we tendered to the island.
Brenner and Savvy
Once we got to the cove area there were frogs and tropical birds to see.
The water was the most amazing color.
We stopped first at Stingray City. Any dark area you see is a Stingray.
The water was waist deep everywhere because it was a sandbar.
This is my favorite picture of the day. Brock felt like I did about the rays.
The group before we got back on the boat.
After Stingray City we went back to Dolphin Cove for our Dolphin encounters. Brenner wasn't old enough to swim with the dolphins so I stayed with him and Rusty joined the older boys with the rest of the group.
We got to get started first. And in all, as a group we interacted with at least 4 different dolphins.
They only let about 8 in the water at a time, so we watched first
Brenner wasn't so sure about the dolphins, but he was happy to kiss her.
In this picture you can see me looking over my shoulder asking the guy with the net to get the freaking jelly out of the water before it gets the kids!
We made good dancing partners.
I had to basically hold Brenner out far enough to reach the dolphin, and then we were on the edge of falling off the platform, but we made it work.
Then it was time for the rest of the gang to get in and go farther out into the lagoon.
This is my "I just got stung by jellyfish" face. It HURT! Stung really. My arm was the worst, but the ones on my leg hurt bad. Sarah got some and Jessica too. She got one on her back, yikes.
The jelly were about the size of a quarter, but that didn't stop them from hurting like the big ones!
