Dolphins in the Bay!

Over the New Year's weekend we had the chance to go to the beach and have fun with my dad, sisters, and some of their friends. On New Year's Eve during the day we took the little fishing boat out to cruise around the bay with my dad, Ashley, and Jeremy. It was a beautiful day...but still a little cold. We just wanted to get out on the water and have some fun!!

After we had been cruising around for a while by Bird Island and Goat Island, we were suddenly surrounded by a bunch of playing dolphins. Luckily our new camera has a little video recorder and Zach took about 10 videos trying to catch the cute dolphins playing with each other. It was really fun and they played around us for about 15 or 20 minutes. It made being freezing out on the bay totally worth it!!

This first video is one of the better ones for actually seeing some dolphins...excuse all the moving around. The dang dolphins are very fast and hard to catch on camera...especially in the not so clear Bolivar Bay! Every time one would jump on one side of the boat Zach would quickly move the camera to catch it. They really were so cute!!


This second video has a little bit of dolphin shots...but the sound is the best part. One jumped like right next to us and really scared the crap out of me...which you can hear me saying. We all got a good laugh out of it!!



I will post some more pictures from our lovely long weekend at the beach soon!!!
