My parents had gotten Addison a Dolphin Encounter for her birthday at our local Marine Mammal Institute. We scheduled it during spring break so Amelia and Luke could watch the encounter and enjoy the institute.
Addison was so excited and counting down the days until she got to "train my dolphin."
Searching for shark teeth.
Time to play with dolphins!
As soon as we started walking toward the tanks, the dolphins all got very excited and swam over to see us. They definitely knew it was chow time. Addison adored every minute of this experience and I was right there with her. It is really a fun time and we learned so much about the dolphins too.
No fear feeding the dolphin fish. (She is tossing it in the dolphins mouth).
Addison was instructing the dolphin to sing by swinging her fingers back and forth.
We were tickling the dolphin and he laughs. So cute.
So sweet! 
Addison instructing the dolphin to wave.
Addison then got to instruct the dolphin to go splash her big brother.
What a fun day!!
Next we got a private tour of the touch pools. Addison and Amelia petting the starfish.
Horseshoe crab. These suckers always freak me out. They look very prehistoric.
This shark that Amelia is petting was so friendly. He would swim exactly where my kids were positioned and stop in front of them so they could pet him. It was really funny. Everyone loves a back rub.
Lots of stingrays to pet too. What a fun family day!
