Swimming with the dolphins


On May 11, 2010 we went to a water park. The water park not only had water slides and other rides like that, but there was also a section that held a couple water animals. The first thing we did was swim with the dolphins! The dolphin we swam with was named Lukas. He was 11 years old, the youngest dolphin they had at the water park. He was very friendly. We were able to pet him , do a trick with him, and swim with him. It was so much fun!

After we changed out of the wet suits they lent us we watched the sea lion show. It was really cool! Sea lions can actually do hand stands (or flipper stands) and can be quite funny. Then we saw the dolphin show. It was even cooler than the sea lion show! They swim really fast and jump really high. It was really fun to watch.

After the show we were feeling hungry so we had lunch and then visited the reptile house. It was really small, but we did see a couple turtles including a snapping turtle, and a couple of snakes. Then we took a break and played at the kids center. After our break we watched the parrot show. It was really funny! One parrot drove a toy car, another pulled a small chariot, and yet another rode a unicycle on a tightrope! After that we were all quite tired so we left.
