Sea World Part 3 Dolphins

Waiting for the dolphin show to begin and Joelle spotted orca and dolphin puppets on sale.  These were a must buy!  Joelle likes to imagine and play pretend so these puppets will give her hours of playtime.  
The girls decided to sit in the middle of the splash zone and Steve and I decided to move a little higher up.  

The show was like a fairy tale with a princess looking for her prince.  
The trainers were in the water quite a bit with the dolphins and rode on them as well.  

How amazing that the dolphin can jump so high that he literally reenters the water going straight down!  

There were also acrobats in the show who drove off these high platforms into the water one after the other.  

Dolphin surfing anyone?
And a graceful dive off.  
The show included pilot whales as well.  
The waves obscure the view but the princess is riding on the dolphin all around the tank.  

Spectacular jumping skills.
Amazing when they had 4 doing the same jump routine.  Very well trained and exciting!  I have been to Sea World several times and each time is like the first.  I hope this is a memory that Joelle will keep with her for years to come!
