Picures from our wet cameras!!!!!!

These first 6 pictures are from Discovery Cove - this one is of a huge sting ray there were many inside the Coral Reef where we were snorkeling - Marcus would dive down and rub their backs - some swam right under us - it took a bit for me to get use to this - yikes!! But Mike and Marcus kept telling my that their stingers were gone but just the thought was enough.

Our kids trying to stay under water for me to get a good picture - it took a couple times!!!

These next few are on the lazy river

Jamie loved to climb on this rock everytime we floated by it

Inside the cave on the lazy river!!

Jamie being Jamie - too funny!!

This picture is from Google.com - this is what a Manatee looks like and these are what was swimming up to us on our Kayaking tour at the Merritt Wildlife Refuge State Park

These were the Manatees at Sea World - they had an exhibit there too.

Here come the pictures from our kayaking trip.......

Jamie and her guide Mike

Me and my guide Marcus

on our way to where the Manatees feed - we saw this jellyfish and

this horseshoe crab

and here they came - this is one of their noses - they loved to be rubbed on their backs and bellies!

Mike is scratching ones back and his tail is out of the water my Marcus

Here Jamie had his nose against their kayak and his tail is right behind Marcus' paddle - some of them were huge!!

This ones tail we got a good look at :)

For some reason they loved the blue kayaks and we were both in the only two blue ones - we had the most interaction with the manatees and there were 9 kayaks on this tour - we were extremely pleased about this and loved every minute of it!

This one wanted us to shake his fin so we did - these were out in the wild but were extremely friendly - just like a puppy they just kept coming back for more scratches!! - This was an awesome experience and if we ever get there again I'm sure one that we would do again!! Awesome find Mike!!!!!
