What wonderful photos - and a cute little mermaid swimming with her ocean friends! Looks like it was certainly a day to remember.
Yay, you did it! You go girl! I can tell you were having the time of your life Susan. Come to CHA in Orlando this summer and we’ll swim with the Dolphins at Sea World! What fabulous photos, thanks so much for sharing!
Oh WOW that must have been amazing!!! And a plus was leaving all the cold rain in Washington for the warmth of Mexico. Next time you go, I’ll be glad to volunteer to go with you to carry your luggage and take your picture and bring you drinks - wink. Thanks for bringing warm weather back with you.

Oh WOW!!!! the joy that is in your smile with the dolphins kissing you….thank you for sharing your experience with us. I too can relate to the enjoyment of swimming and hugging the dolphins, as I too was able to fulfill that chance when I was in Mexico last year. It was so nice to see you sharing today this event as it has been a sad day today for me as I lost a friend to lung cancer this morning and it was nice to be nudged back to a more joyful time. Oh yes, thank you so much for the chance to win the Polka Dots and More Blog Candy……nice stuff!!!
Oh, that looks like SO much fun. The animals look like they are enjoying it too. Here in WA we are getting closer to spring. 2 days in a row of sunshine–yes!!

Wow- that would be a perfect cure for a bad day! The look of pure joy on your face even lifted my mood today! Thank you!

WOW!!! I am so jealous! I ran over my husband once at Sea World to be able to touch the dolphin in the petting pool! What you got to do is soooooooo awesome!!!!! Thanks for sharing your special day!
These are great photos of you having fun with the sea lions and dolphins. What fun memories! I live in the middle of the ocean and haven’t ever done that. Thanks for sharing the animals with us.

What a great experience- looks like you a had a blast too!
Thanks for the chance at some candy!
Yay for you, having such a great day! I’ve heard of swimming with dolphins, but never with sea lions! Did they have fishy breath?! Or “baited” breath, as so many people spell it. I’m glad you got to do something you always wanted to. Thanks for the chance to win the goodies.
Brilliant! and what a great time you had! Something you will always remember and to make a fabby scrapbook of!
We did a “dolphin encounter” on one of our spring break trips a few years ago. Well worth the price for a once in a lifetime opportunity.
Thanks for the chance to win this great candy!

How fantastic! I have never heard of anyone swimming with sea lions. Your picture of them smooching on you is precious
Thank you for offering another chance to win that fun stamp set + more!
Ohhhhhhh, it looks like you had a blast. How fun. I’d love to feel how silky soft a dolphin is. Amazing how they will swim with strangers, eh. Thanks for the blog candy, and welcome back.
Oh how fun that must have been, I always thought that would be interesting to do, I have seen them perform before but never been that up close and personal, so glad you had a great time!
Great pictures Susan! Glad you got to do something that was on your wish list for so long.
Heh!! I have the same wish - to see and swim with dolphins. Went to New Zealand in 2000 and ran out of time to get to see the dolphins! Love your site and the inspiration that you give me. Thanks.
HOW CUTE!!!!!! Those friends are just so adorable and how lucky were you? I would love to do that someday! Great pictures, My favorite it the one of the sealion screaming, that is OMGOODNESS funny! Thanks for sharing!
Wow! Thanks for sharing the great pictures…sure can tell you were enjoying all those “kisses”! LOL Thanks for the chance to win this wonderful “blog candy”!!!
Aww, Susan — I’ve done the dolphin swimming before, too — isn’t it fabulous?!! So glad you enjoyed your trip!
Good for you, ‘Rainy’!
I’m reading Debbie MacComber’s book, Twenty Wishes, which is about how making lists of 20 wishes changes the lives of each of the four main women. I would put riding in a hot air balloon at the top of my list. Winning blog candy would be on my list too. lol
Oh what fun it looks like you had! I’ve always wanted to do that too! Maybe one day….!
I have heard of people swimming with the dolphins for health reasons. I think that would be cool. The sea lions are so cute. Hope I get to swim with them some day. What a cool way to spend Spring Break! I love the polka-dot punches set and certainly celery and so saffron are my 2 favorite spring colors. Hope I win!!!
oooh, Susan, I’m so jealous! Looks like you were having so much fun! Good for you!
We’re getting ready to go on a dive trip, but I won’t get to play with dolphins and sea lions….so I need to win blog candy to make me feel better!!
This looks like so much fun! Anything where the temp. is above 32 degrees looks fun right now!!! Someday spring will come to MN. I love this stamp set! Thanks for the chance to win it!
Looks like you had a fun time! I was able to go snorkeling this spring in Hawaii. There are some super cool sea creatures out there.
How wonderful! The pictures are incredible too. ~ Rose
I’m nearly green with envy! What a wonderful day that must have been. Maybe I can one day have the same pleasure.
Thanks for the chance to win the generous blog candy.
what fun I love visting Mexico
Oh Susan, what a fabulous day. I’ve patted a dolphin at a theme park, but I would dearly love to swim with them. I’m so glad for you that you had this wonderful experience. They are such beautiful creatures.
Hugs, Anne P.
Looks like you had a great time! I am so jealous — I’ve been going through a winter time funk. It would be great to win your fabulous prize, I’m sure that would cheer me up! Thanks for the chance to win!

Susan, you look like you were having a blast…it is so cold here in GA now…in the 30s last night…definitely too cold for the south at this time of the year! Do not include me for the blog candy as I already own these…if you pick me, go to the next person. Have a wonderful Easter/
What happiness in our troubles times you have shared with all of us…..Happy Easter and this is the first time I have entered anywhere and I am making a wish from my Easter bunny for “blog candy” in MY basket on Sunday - thank you, Sue
Wow! Susan! How fun it is! Oh, I love those pictures! Glad that your dream came true!!!!!
Love the pictures, susan. Thanks for sharing. And thanks too for a chance to win some blog candy. Just what I need to get my card mojo back.

Love your blog,, thanks for the chance to satisfy my sweet tooth!
That is something worth celebrating, what a treat for you. Loved the photos, you do look so happy.
Sure does look like a best day ever. Not sure I could muster up the courage to swim with dolphins. Glad you had a wonderful time!
That looks so cool!!! It must have been thrilling to live a dream! Gave me the desire to accomplish some of my own. Thanks!
Oh wow, I’m so jealous! I’ve always loved dolphins (who wouldn’t?) and dream of swimming with them. The sea lions are cute too!
I love the idea of swimminig with the dolphins and sea lions but I thnk when it actually came to it I would be scared. I would love my little 3 year old grand-daughter to experience it one day-maybe she will be the reason I overcome my fear. I’ll do anything for her!
