Gulf World Marine Park

While on vacation, yes, still doing vacation pictures, we were able to visit Gulf World in Panama City. It's like a small Sea World, and it was well worth the money and time! They had so many neat shows to go to--sea lions, exotic birds, a high dive show, a magic show, dolphin show, underwater scuba show, live shark feedings...I think I could go on and on! It was so cool--we were so up close to the animals--we even got to touch manta rays!
During the dolphin show, we got a real treat--Dustin was chosen to go up with the trainers on the stage! First he stayed down in front of the audience with a few other kids, and got to make the dolphins dance:
Then, they pulled only him up to the stage! SO COOL! In this next picture, it's hard to see, but he's holding a dead fish in his mouth to feed to the dolphin!
That was a huge highlight of the trip--he was thrilled!

And, the kids had fun being "eaten" by the alligator:

Here is a cool pic of the sea turtles and nurse sharks: And the 3 kiddos by the flamingos:

What a trip! Gulf World was awesome!!
