Dreams Do Come True!

Ever since I was really little, I have dreamed of swimming with Dolphins.  They are such unique creatures.  They are peaceful and make me feel peaceful.  Even when watching them on television or from a distance! 

Recently I was presented with an opportunity to Swim with Dolphins at the Miami Sea Aquarium.  I, of course, took heed on the opportunity!  On April 30,  2007 I spent approximately 45 - 60 minutes with them.  Below are the pictures!

I'm being pushed across the pool	Another angle of me being pushed by the Dolphin.	They love to have their belly rubbed
Holding on for my life!!!	I got brave enough to stick up a hand!	Everybody needs a hug!
I've always enjoyed a good hand shake!	I can't believe I actually kissed a Dolphin!	She's a beauty!

There were five different dolphins. Each were a descendent of the original Flipper. 

In fact, the pool where we were swimming was the actual area that they filmed the original Flipper television show.  I was swimming in front of the Ranger Station (for those of you who remember watching the show).

I hope you enjoy my pictures!  This was a dream come true for me!  Whenever I think of it I almost start to cry because it was such an awesome experience!  I thank the Lord for giving me the opportunity to experience this!
