Hello friends, how was your Saturday??  Mine was fairly busy  In-between taking pictures of our guests swimming with the dolphins I did two underwater photo dives with the dolphins Aimee is training.  Our goal was to try and get some promotional photos but the water visibility just wasn’t that great, but fear not we will keep trying. 
 
This is our resident Bananaquit who has made herself a beautiful home for her babies in the mouth of a big stuffed fish!  For those of you wanting to see this in person it’s up high to the left of the snack bar at the Sea Aquarium.  The ladies at the snack told me they sometimes put sugar in the palm of their hands and she flies over and eats it right out of their hands?  These birds are so tiny, I had to stand on a ladder and wait for quite awhile before she stuck her head out!  It’s just such a great home!!
 
We just got an e-mail from Sheila at CARF saying she may have just found a home for one of our puppies, we are so happy we can hardly stand it! 
 
Sorry so short we are off to a wedding party, talk to you all tomorrow, Barry
