We took a flying tube to Florida to stay a week with family and partake in one of my dream come true moments!

We purchased tickets to discovery cove where we could have an encounter and learning session with a dolphin. We were put into groups and given either A, B, or C and then asked to join in the same letter for our given time.

Luckily we were in group A and were led to our dolphin trainer where she was waiting in the lagoon for us.

She introduced herself and then our dolphin Khailani ( love that name) and she was such a beauty!

The trainer took time to explain each part of the dolphin as she had Khailani swim in front of us and allowed touching her softly. Also showed us her personality and fun noises that she could make.

Then we each had a turn taking a photo with Khailani next to her and giving her a kiss on her rostrum.

The last and most fun thing with her was when I swam out to a deeper area and Khailani came out to me and I was informed to place my hand on her dorsal fin and the other on her pectoral fin. She then taxi swam me back to the shallow end of the lagoon where I then was able to tip her with fish!🥰

I love dolphins so much and to be able to swim with one was more amazing than words could possibly express.

Lunch was also provided and it was delicious but I was also ravenous by that time being in the sun all day🤪. We were able to sit outside at a table with an umbrella luckily!

The rest of the day we enjoyed lounging in the lazy river as well as snorkeling which was a blast! We were able to see such beautiful coral formations and didferent types of fish including sharks!

There was also an aviary with all types of birds and we were given a bowl of food to feed them if we wanted and we did of course! Who wouldn’t?

It was worth the cost of this adventure and was such an amazing and relaxing day that I have ever experienced!

My daughter signed us up for yoga with baby goats!

Let me inform you that they are simply the cutest babies anywhere!

They started us in some yoga exercises as they brought out these little darlings! It is really hard to concentrate on said exercises when you have these liitle ones hopping around you.

You try to focus but you start to giggle at the goat’s antics such as them coming over to nuzzle you or climb up on you as you try doing the downward dog pose.🤣

I was more captivated by these little beauties that I couldn’t do proper yoga or stop laughing!

Let me share my photos with you.

My daughter and I had a lovely afternoon together!

We got some yummy deinks at the Steaming Cup before our appointment.

Afterword we took a short stroll and enjoyed a yumtastic dinner at the People’s park in Waukesha.

She stayed to visit at our house for a bit after bringing me home and gave our 3 cats some attention they always seem to need.🤪

Always love to spend whatever time that I can with my girl!🩷

I worked today and still felt I had just enough energy to take a walk on this breezy day. I felt the need to enjoy until the storm hits!

I walked more than I thought I did!

So happy that the winter has finally ended and can start my walks/hikes again- so tired of being a hermit!

Turn off your busy mind and view the beauty surrounding you!🌷

My daughter and I took a train to visit Chicago for a couple weekends. I enjoy riding on a train versus flying in an airplane, so not as stressful!

We went to Shedd aquarium one of the days and saw dolphins! (My fave!) beluga whales, turtles, penguins and seals, etc……. They had a gift shop where we purchased some souvenirs of course!

We went to the american writer’s museum aand saw some neat memorabilia. Yes….we had to buy more souvenirs from their little shop.

Of course we had to visit The Bean while we were in Chicago! Tourists!!! I have to admit that it was pretty neato!

We took walks around the water and enjoyed nearby restaurants and my daughter had to have one of their famous chicago dogs🤪

We had such a great time being with each other and exploring the Chicago city. (during covid if see a mask)

I found the need to leave the house and go on a hike and a pit stop to visit my favorite horses.

It was a sunny day and the fresh air was as refreshing as if I was wading in water.

The songs the birds were singing was like a soothing melody while I caught a photo of a butterfly.

The cute little chipmunks wandering through the forest of trees always brings forth a smile.

After a couple of hours just enjoying the exercise I headed back and along the way stopped at the stables to visit Max, Charlie and the rest.🐴
