Hi folks! Thought I’d pop in and share a little clip from our boat ride. Please excuse my high pitched, excited voice! Clearly it’s not very often that I come upon dolphins that are an arm’s length away!

April 20, 2011 at 3:55 pmThat is so cool! I would be excited too! You sounded so cute. 🙂 And, I love how Justin said “1 o’clock” as to where to look, I’m guessing……do the girls and JM know how to look in the direction of what time he says? 😉 ha ha! Fun video! Thanks for sharing!

April 20, 2011 at 4:03 pmI’ve never commented before, but I read your blog regularly and I think this is fantastic. Don’t worry about the high pitch voice. When I get excited my voice gets deeper. Like a man’s. A quality every princess wants…

April 20, 2011 at 4:15 pmwhen you said, “how fun” I could hear in your voice what you really meant, which was…”this IS fun, IF they don’t turn this boat over and endanger my whole family”. 🙂

April 21, 2011 at 8:49 amSo sweet, that actually brought me to tears missing our boat rides w/ Grandparents in the Intercoastal waterway in Venice Fl, where we have pet many dolphins and even fed Manatees. It’s amazing God created these gentle creatures we can enjoy.
Katie
April 21, 2011 at 9:54 amOh, wow! Y’all were so close to them! My two would have been over the boat in seconds seeing those dolphins … ha!
