A favorite part of vacation: the Dolphin Cruise

So one thing we all did together on vacation was take a boat ride looking for dolphins.  I thought this would be fun, but had no idea how excited I would get EVERY time I saw a dophin.  We actually got to see a pod swimming right next to our boat (at the very end of the ride), so I was super excited.  We could see most of their bodies--not just their fins. I jumped and kind of yelled each time we spotted one.

Colin getting excited about "spotting" a dolphin.  He thought he saw one all the time.  He'd say--"there it is...I see him."

The captain made fun of my enthusiasm when it was time for the little kids to drive the boat.  The captain had a very funny sense of humor.

Colin's turn to drive the boat.  He wouldn't smile (he was too serious about his job), so the captain started tickling him, and squeezing his face.  It worked.

This was so much fun--and all the kids were good on the boat for almost 2 hours.  We got to see beautiful sunsets on the way home and beautiful houses on the way out.
