Another day in Hawaii

In Hawaii, members of my family got to ride with dophins. The first part of the experience involved my family getting to know the hand signals to make the dolpins do specific actions like talking or spinning in circles. That was fun to watch everyone look like they are in elementary trying to imitate the instructor. After that was finished, we got to touch the dolphins tummy and their fins. That was really neat. One of the dolphins that we swam with was famous. The dolphin was on multiple water movies including 50 First Dates. The most amazing part of that was the fact that I could feel the dolphins' scars. It was such a great experience.

The picture shows Spencer holding on to dear life while the dolphin takes him on the ride he'll never forget. My mom was the best to watch as her turn came to ride with the dolphin. Everyone but my mom grabbed onto the dolphin to get a ride the first try. The first time my mom tried to grab the dolphin, she grabbed too late and the dolphin already took off. The funniest part of that was watching her try to swim after it after she missed it thinking she might catch up to it. The second time she was shocked that she felt it coming and retreated her hands to her side. The third time the trainer had to help her and she finally grasped ahold of the dolphins flippers. That definately got all the laughs for the day.
