Once again it is Alphabe Thursday and here I am in beautiful Hawaii...Not to rub it in or anything....Just click on the sidebar logo and it will take you to our amazing hostess's blog...Jenny is a great writer and comedienne extroadinare and it has been fun to play along and read everyone's entries....
So, D' is for Dolphin and I have to say that today for me was awe inspiring, a dream come true and pure joy all wrapped into one...I love the ocean and ocean creatures and I was beyond lucky and got to spend about a half an hour up close and personal in the water with three of my dolphin friends...something I have always wanted to do and never expected to accomplish...It took place at Sea Life park on Oahu...I had to wear a bathing suit in public, oh ick, and it was a little on the chilly side and the water was crazy cold but I would have done it naked in the antartica for the same chance....Don and I rubbed the dolphins belly...gave and received kisses and swam to the middle of the tank and hitched a ride on the belly of the little female....the power of this beautiful animal was incredible! Here I am getting a kiss....
and here I am actually zooming across the pool on her belly.....
I am so grateful to God for making such an amazing animal and words are just failing me, so I will let the pictures speak for themselves....D is for Dolphin.....

Hi Melinda
Lucky you! I swam with the dolphins in Hawaii, too! It was one of the most fun things I ever did. You look so happy in the pictures! "D" is definitely for dolphins!
Enjoy the rest of your trip.

Hi Melinda!
What a fun experience and wonderful "D" word! I was able to pet dolphins in Sea World on a trip to Florida once, but it must be so exciting to swim with them as I know they are such friendly and social creatures.
Enjoy the rest of your vacation!
