SB 2022: Gold Star Bravery- Dolphins & Slides

Last time we were at Atlantis in 2019, we did the Dip N' Discover dolphin experience, and since we had a boat excursion planned this time, I thought I was 'off the dolphin hook.' But of course, you know what happened. Once Cressey heard her cousins talking about the dolphin experiences, she had to go too. So this time we (by 'we' I mean 'Ryves and the girls') tried the Swim in Wonder experience. The dolphins pushed you by your feet while you laid on a kickboard across the lagoon, and then you could ride on their fins as they swam. Once Cress got in the water and realized how big/ deep the lagoon was, she got a little nervous. But she pushed through it and had a ball. At the very end, when the dolphins carry you on their fin, she landed face first into the water and was NOT HAPPY. But it was over then, and all was soon forgotten other than the FUN. The guys and big girls tried some of the water slides too, and we were all impressed with their bravery!

And HG too!

Dinner at Nobu- the wagu wontons and tacos were to die for!

HG was not cooperating for a pic

And now I lost John....

John is so brave!

The dads survived- whew!

And then the dads and big girls did the tube slide that comes out through the shark tunnel. May May was really upset she wasn't quite tall enough. Cress was very happy to hang out with the moms and watch the sharks!

Blurry but a cute memory

After dinner at Carmine's...the kids only made it halfway through this one. Then John brought/carried them back to the room.
