Swim with Dolphins at SeaWorld San Antonio

Kissing Brady

Guess what?  I recently fulfilled a lifelong dream.  I was able to swim with a dolphin, so fun!  I was invited to take part in a Dolphin Interaction at Discovery Point in SeaWorld San Antonio.  After changing into a wetsuit and while accompanied by a trainer, a small group of us waded into the shallows of Dolphin Lagoon (at Discovery Point) and met Brady, a 17 year old bottle nose dolphin who couldn't have been sweeter.  There were several other dolphins there but I spent all my time with Brady.

 

 Taking a ride with Brady!

We were able to give him kisses, rubdowns, and even go for a short swim.  It was so fun to be so close to such a beautiful animal and learn about him.

Oh, and we got a little wet!

Happy 10th Birthday A - Dolphin Party

Today A turns 10!  Here she is with baby F.

We had a super fun party for her last weekend - dolphin themed.  And I was able to have a little fun planning it, even with a two week old!

Here is the cake!  David made a dolphin jumping through the zero of the 10.

 Party Goers...thanks Bob for taking this photo :).

Dolphin Punch - A wanted pink and blue

 Our Goldfish Bar.  I bought medium sized goldfish bowls and served a variety of goldfish crackers.

 Goldfish Marshmallow Pops - kids loved these.

 Octopus Hummus

Veggie Tray

I usually make my own fruit trays but this time I bought one (I do have a newborn at home).  Bonus: It came with a caramel dip!

This is a staple at parties in Texas - just sayin'.

 A made some seashell and dolphin candy molds - always fun.

Found some fun Shamu and Friends Crackers - perfect addition.

And of course, we went out with a bang - the dolphin pinata.

A - I hope you had a great party.  Double digits already - sigh...
