EVERYONE LOVES MARINELAND!

Well once again we headed out this past weekend for another family adventure. I figured since the girl's are learning so much about different land animals, why not expose them to some marine mammals as well. It was a great day, we saw some incredible things and the girl's were really in awe with seeing these creatures so up close.

This was just one of the many highlights of the day. There is a area with baby deer that are so tame. They wander over and let the kids touch them and feed them. The girl's got a big kick out this. I was also very impressed with how gentle the girl's were with the deer.



























We managed to get a show in of the Dolphins, Walruses, and Sea Lions. They are so incredibly amazing to watch. While Brian & I were on our honeymoon I had the opportunity to go swimming with some dolphins. Which was an experience I will never forget and hope the girl's will get to experience one day themselves.
Avery & Olivia sat through the entire show perfectly still. They would join the crowd in some clapping and cheering here and there. It was really very cute to watch them taking it all in.

Marineland does a great job of letting people get involved with the animals. Along with petting and feeding the Deer, they also sell food to feed the Bears as well.

Behind bars of course!

This was the best part of our entire day trip. Avery & I got the opportunity to feed and touch a Beluga Whale! Isn't it beautiful!!

Unfortunately Olivia had passed out by this time so she missed out. I must say I was really impressed with how hygienic everything was. Before touching the Whales they made everyone wash their hands, as well as after.

Marineland is one of the more expensive places we have taken the girl's but so worth it. We all had a great time.

Of course the day would not be complete without a Dolphin & Whale of their own.
