Hanging with the Dolphins

This past weekend, Quinn had the opportunity to cross something off her bucket list!  She has forever wanted to swim with or interact up close and personal with dolphins.  And thanks to her dear Auntie, Uncle, and cousins, her dream came true last weekend!


They gifted Quinn an in-water dolphin experience through the Indianapolis Zoo for her birthday.  The experience consisted of a behind the scenes information session, front row seats to the dolphin show, and in-water time with a dolphins.

Quinn and Kimo...


Before Quinn got in the water... super excited and anxious!




The following pictures, sadly, are not the best.  They were in the large pool and we were not able to get up super close. But being in the large pool offered for a better experience for the dolphin and participants, and that's all that matters!

Giving the dolphin a hug...


Watching the dolphin leap out of the water - what an incredible view!


Quinn rewarding the dolphin with a fish snack.  
She didn't much care for all the fish guts on her hand!




This was a once in a lifetime opportunity for Quinn - and one that she will forever remember!  Her love of dolphins only increased after this experience and she is already trying to find ways to interact with them again soon! A huge thanks to Auntie, Uncle, Judson, Crew and Elsa for making Quinn's dream come true!
