Sorry I didnt blog yesterday but I was enroute to FL!
Day 2: Sea World
Yesterday the gang went to Sea World and Kym was able to get close to the dolphins in the feeding tank. The trainer explained to Kym about the dolphin and let her pat his belly, I think she got even touch his belly button!!! (from kym: I like the sound the dolphins make when they laugh!) They feed sting rays, once they finally found their mouths (they didnt know their mouths are on the bottom hehe). Well Monday was a fabulous kick off day, full of sunshine! Oh and I heard they wrapped it up with a LARGE Steak Dinner!! NICE!! Hehehe
Day 3: Discovery Cove
Today was in a nut shell amazing! As Joe put it, we serve an awesome GOD! Everything went as perfect as possible today! The sun was shinning the wind was softly blowing and we were all so pumped! Kym and Bekah swam with the dolphins at 10:30. They were in a group of 8 and the instructor had the dolphin swim by them all and Mom guided Kym to touch Akai (the dolphins name). Then each of them went out to and kissed the dolphin (soooo CUTE!!!), then bekah and kym were able to go out together and pat Akai's belly as he flipped his fins! Then each of them were able to hang on tight to the top fin and ride the dolphin!!! Sooo amazing to see!! Kym had a fascinated, focused, excited look on her face and bek was soooo happy :-)! Then we ate lunch, yum yum and floated down the lazy river!!! ohhh man did we ever love that!!! Rest and Relaxation!!!!! The after a few rounds of that we went and hung out with the sting rays! wicked coool!!! The were kinda scary just b/c I have never been in a pool with Sting Rays, but they feel wicked cool (Kym just loved to feel them!!!). Then we went over to the coral reef area and snorkeled around that area seeing all sorts of tropical fish and more types of sting rays, some sit on the bottom and blend in covered with sand! Oh man I love sea creatures! Then we went to the aviary, were Kym just lit up listening to the sounds of the birds and searching for the birds in her field of vision! You hold the cup of fruit and the birds will land right on your arm and eat from the cup! There were three parts with all different types of birds!!! We wrapped up the day with one last float down the lazy river.....ahhhhh relaxation!!! Well we are all so pooped and water logged hehehe. We all had amazing days and it sooo fabulous to be able to see Aunt Deb and Bek while we are here!!!! :-) They are also soo excited to have family in FL!!! Well g'night all!! Much love!
From Kym concerning Discovery Cove: The day was awesome and amazing! Feels nice to finally have accomplished one of my dreams. I liked the sting rays too, and doing something I never new I could do (aka touching a sting ray...one came up and kept wanting us to pat it...he was kinda begging for attention hehe). Today is the day I will always cherish!

I am SO glad Kym is having such a good time! I went to Discovery Cove two yrs ago for my birthday and words really can't describe this once in a lifetime opportunity! I hope you all continue to have an amazing time down here. I'm sorry I didn't have more time to come to meet up with you all. Say hi to everyone for me! and tell Mike I think the NASCAR video game would look great in his living room! (I am not sure who would be using it more, Mike or Kym!?)
