Winter!!

This past Saturday we decided to have a family day at the Clearwater Aquarium since Jackson has been asking to go see Winter the dolphin and it is one of our last weekends as a family of 3 so we wanted to do something fun with Jackson!  We had a great time even though it is definitely smaller than I expected and Jackson ran through it in about 30 minutes but then we watched the Winter show which we thought was pretty cool and we saw them put on her mechanical tail!!!  We first really learned about Winter from the movie "A Dolphin Tale" and since then Jackson has been so excited to go see her.  So after the aquarium we took the trolley over to the museum to see all the props from the movie!!  We enjoyed watching scenes from the movie again and playing a few games!!  Then we got in the wrong line to return to our car so we rode on the boat back to the aquarium!! It was a little chilly but fun to take a little boat trip on Clearwater Bay!!  Enjoy the pictures from our wonderful day together!!
