On Thursday we did the Dockside Dolphin program. The dolphins were right on our resort. We had been watching the trainers feed and train them for the last few days. Owen really liked when they would jump. He always said "football" when we saw the dolphins because sometimes the trainers would throw a football for the dolphins to play with and he thought it was so funny to see the dolphins playing with a football. I was not sure how Owen would react to being so close to the dolphins. I figured he would either love it or be terrified. He was kind of in between. He liked feeding them jello, but would not touch them. The dolphins are fed a special jello mixture because since they only eat dead fish they do not get enough hydration from the fish. After the dolphin program we headed back to the condo for lunch and a nap for Owen. I then slipped off to the spa for a massage. It was very relaxing.

Thursday afternoon Jeff's friend Tom met us at the resort. He lives in Miami and took the couple hour drive to hang out with us for a day. Owen really loved Tom and talked about "Tom, Tom, Tom" all the time. We went to the lagoon at the resort and swam for a while. Jeff and Tom were playing frisbee and Owen kept running between them trying to get the frisbee. He wanted to be one of the guys!

Grandma and Grandpa were kind enough to babysit Owen for the evening and Jeff, Tom and I went out for a nice dinner.
