We were so proud of Maggie today as she fearlessly jumped right into the water with two
giant Spotted Pink Dolphins. After attending a dolphin training class, she was invited to swim, feed, play with, train and even RIDE the dolphins! Out of nine students, Maggie was the only child - but as you might guess her age didn't intimidate her at all. She was completely in her element swimming along side of these beautiful animals. Perhaps she'll have a future in Marine Biology? We'll see...
Happy Birthday, sweet Maggie!
Maggie and her new buddy, "Han"
She said her body felt like "really smooth rubber"
(and on a side note - look at those teeth!)
giving simple hand commands to "Han"
these clever dolphins are also artistic! This painting is now one of
Maggie's most treasured souvenirs...
Going for a really fast ride around the Dolphin Lagoon...
...she looks completely relaxed
Hold on tight, Mags!
Saying good-bye to her new friend...
