Aunt Lisa and Sommer: Swimming with Dolphins

Sommer and Aunt Lisa just got back from Florida today. They had the most amazing time at Discovery Cove in Orlando, Florida. Sommer's lifelong dream (she didn't have to wait too long) was to swim with the dolphins. Her super special Aunt made this possible by giving each of our kid's the opportunity to pick a destination/activity to do with her when they turned 12. Sommer headed to Florida earlier this year to spend a long weekend doing the dolphin excursion. They were unable to swim with the dolphins that trip (although it was already paid for...it ended up booking full) but Lisa filled her birthday weekend with the most amazing fun (see blog post from March). Lisa surprised Sommer with the continuation of this dreamy birthday present this week. You can see pure joy in Sommer's face in the following pictures. It meant so much to her. Gettting ready for solo swimming with dolphins...

Just look at that smile...on both Sommer and Dolphin Friend.
Sommer absolutely loved this experience with the dolphins.

This was truly something Sommer will always treasure. Sorry blog readers...Aunt Lisa is all ours! We love you Lisa!
