Dolphins?

Noah and I had a wonderful opportunity last weekend to accompany the Berrys as they celebrated Taylor's 8th birthday. We went to a hotel called "Los Delfines" (the dolphins), and sure enough, they have two dolphins that live there and perform regularly for an audience. The tank is outdoors with a bridge for spectators to stand on during the show. Now, don't expect Seaworld here - the trainers were not in the tank with them and did not ride on them, but we were close enough to them to see their bellybuttons when they turned over for us. They did some good tricks too, splashing us, talking/singing, jumping, and spinning in the air. It was especially fun to watch Noah's reactions to them - he had never seen anything like it, but of course now talks about it a lot. For the next two days, he asked to pray for the dolphins.
After the show, we went inside the hotel and enjoyed chocolate cake with the birthday girl, with a view of the dolphin tank. It was an afternoon to remember!
