Boating & Snorkeling

On the last day of our weekend adventures we went on a boat to swim with seals, snorkel with fish and hopefully swim with dolphins. We went to the Mornington Peninsula and took a boat out to were a group of male seals live on a man made structure in the middle of the water. The seals were cool, they would swim by you and do tricks and try to get you to copy them. Travis had two seals that he was swimming around with. After the swim with the seals we got back on the boat and went to a man made Marina were we snorkeled and saw some really cool fish. I really liked watching the jelly fish swim I thought they were neat. After the fish we got back on the boat in search of dolphins to swim with. We ended up seeing a group of about eight dolphins it was so amazing to see them swimming right by the boat. Travis and Brady got out to try and get the dolpins to swim with them but they didn't want to play they just wanted to stay by the boat and have us watch them. It was so much fun we all had a great time.

The pictures I got of the dolphins are pretty lame compared to the real thing. They were awesome it was mine and Brady's favorite part.


Blake and Abby really enjoyed the boat ride, Abby would have loved to swim with us.
