Megan is mildly obsessed (read: totally insane) about dolphins. We introduced her to the Dolphin Tale movies last fall, and immediately determined a visit to the Clearwater Marine Aquarium (where the movies are based) was in order during our next trip to Florida. Day 5 of our vacation found us doing just that. As if that wasn't exciting enough, Lauren and Logan came to join us too!
 |
| Our first encounter with Winter! This was a digital screen image, but the kids were nonetheless very excited |
 |
| Making cards for Winter, who has her own mailbox at CMA |
 |
| Riding the shuttle boat to see Winter (the real one this time) |
 |
| We spotted dolphins in the bay while enjoying our ride |
 |
| We've arrived! |
 |
| Hope and Winter! Hope and Winter!! |
 |
| Letting Winter know how far we traveled to meet her |
 |
| These guys played Rufus in the first movie (the real star of the Dolphin Tale movies according to Hannah) |
 |
| Posing in front of the houseboat |
 |
| Meeting Winter...well, the plush version anyway |
 |
| The captain let the girls drive on the way back to the other CMA facility (grievous error in judgment if you ask me) |
 |
| Rufus! |
 |
| We can't get enough of this guy |
 |
| They offered some pretty impressive face painting - Hannah chose Hope |
 |
| ...and Megan went with Rufus |
 |
| We now own 3/4 of the gift shop! |
