Florida Trip: Day 3: CMA

Day 3 Selfie

Our third day of vacation sent us to Clearwater, FL.  We started early Wednesday so we could get a complete day at the Clearwater Marine Aquarium.  As you can see the girls were super excited for this part of the trip.  I am pretty sure Drea was more excited about CMA, then Disney.  I wanted to give her the opportunity to pet a dolphin, but I waited too long to book our tickets, as they were booked out for two months.

This is Hope the dolphin...she is from Dolphin Tale 2

Here's Winter, not wearing her tail because...

...these two stole it!

Drea got to touch this dolphin

We did see, several dolphins, a jumping sting ray, a rare pink bird
that wasn't a flamingo, and the osprey from the previous picture

I was totally impressed with this young lady.  She was very friendly and outgoing with all who waited in line to see her.  Not only that, but even after they closed the line, she signed autographs for anyone who walked up.  She was also very open about her faith in God, which was a nice bonus.

Here is two more crazy sea turtles

Charlotte wanted to have her picture taken by herself...her face is priceless

Drea asked this trainer a question and she talked to her for 5-10 minutes
about dolphins.  Drea was in her glory since she wants to be a marine biologist
