In the Water!

John and the kids in the river.
Sofie standing tall.  I could not rotate.  Sorry!
John with the sting rays.
Gaby floating in the river.
Sofie petting a sting ray.  It was so funny.  There was a handicap ramp down into the sting ray area and the kids would run down it and get the attention of a sting ray and then it would chase them back up the ramp.  It was hilarious. Sofie snorkeling.

Here are just a few pics of the kids and us enjoying the water play areas at Discovery Cove.  We went snorkeling and floating in addition to swimming with the dolphins.

Underwater

This fish was quite scary looking with its big teeth.  Hey Uncle Rusty, do you know what it is?
Some of the fish around the reef.
A hugh sting ray or man a ray, not really sure which is which.
I just liked this pretty blue fish.
Gaby was so excited when she put her head under water and saw these Nemo fish.  

Here are some pics that we took underwater in the Coral Reef at Discovery Cove.  There is no zoom on the underwater cameras so what you see is how close we actually got.  The fish we vibrant colors and very cool.  The man-a-rays and sting rays were large and a little scary.

AMAZING!!!!

After we swam with the dolphins they let Gaby come in the water with us and pet the dolphins and hug them.  She thought that was the coolest thing.
This is Sofia on her swim.  You hold onto the dorsal fin and flipper and they pull you along.  Look at the smile on her face.

Sofie and I with Corral.

All I can say is that anyone who has not been before and has the opportunity, I would say ditch Disney this time and head over to Discovery Cove.  It was such an awesome experience and we all got to actually relax and connect as a family.  When you walk in you have to take off all of your jewelry and put your stuff in a locker, so that means no cell phones and no watches.  The food was unlimited and awesome and it was an awesome adventure.  I want to go back again already.  I am trying to figure out an excuse to go.  I will do another post when I get all of the pictures back from Costco.  Also I can not post the ones we took yet because I let my battery for the camera in the hotel.  They are going to send it to me.
