The boys took part in a Dolphin Quest adventure today and had a great time. For about 90 minutes, they learned about dolphins (did you know they are a type of whale? that was new to me!), the proper names for all their various fins and such, and their habitats. For the last 30 minutes, they got to go into the water with the dolphins, touching them and learning different hand signals designed to tell the dolphins to swim different ways.
For the adults (Steve and I and Steve's parents, Reta & Ellis), the day was a lot of sitting around and waiting. But for the boys, it was chock full of fun. We took a few pictures (OK, I took about 150 pictures, but deleted at least a third of those) and watch the boys have fun.
During the time the boys were in the dolphin classroom (as opposed to the pool), the rest of us took a boat ride through the grounds of the Hilton Waikoloa Village. Wow, is that place a trip!After helping grill BBQ chicken for dinner, Reta & Ellis got a chance to enjoy our nightly sunset ritual with us. Here's a sunset shot that Steve's dad, Ellis, took with their new camera:
