Kent & Sharon's Echo Acres Excerpts

2010 FEBRUARY -- PLAYING WITH DOLPHINS

We went to DOLPHIN DISCOVERY, a new feature in Grand Cayman where you get to interact with the dolphins with a trainer. It was a blast! We learned a lot about dolphins as well as getting to pat one, shake flippers, hold him, get a kiss, swim and get splashed, hear him sing to us, ride on him, get pushed on a boogie board 35 mph by him pushing us by our feet, etc. It was a lot of fun and a neat experience!!! We bought the video they took of us, and then I took some pictures of my computer screen while watching the video to get these pictures.

Suited up and

2010 FEBRUARY -- TRIP TO GRAND CAYMAN

We went to Grand Cayman for a week again this year with Dad & Joan, Roger & Bonnie, Norma & Ivan, and Carl & Sally and stayed at the same condos we have stayed in for several years on Seven Mile Beach. We hadn't been back since Hurricane Ivan in 2004. The beach was more beautiful than ever! We had a grand time! Enjoyed the pool and ocean, walks on the beach, delicious dinners out, beach picnic with friends, meetings, etc. It was special to be with the friends there again! There is a new dolphin attraction out by the turtle farm, and we really had fun swimming with the dolphins! Enjoyed the beautiful sunshine and warm weather and breezes every day! A GREAT week!
