Holiday Journal: 2 Oct Monkey Mia, Ocean Park

It's a beautiful day and a short drive to Monkey Mia where dolphins swim ashore for food and to mingle with people.

We folded our hemlines, went into the cold waters to wait for the dolphins' visit. Jamus and Kieran were excited to have found a snail and a hermit crab.



About 6 dolphins swam in after almost an hour's wait. It was a wonderful feeling to getting so close to those friendly mammals. Jamus and Kieran were so lucky to be picked to feed a dolphin. Second time for Jamus and the first for Kieran, who was elated.



After a light meal, we went to Ocean Park to watch shark feeding and other ocean creatures. The kids learned that when a shark emerged from the waters, it will protect its eyes with its membrane. We were surprise that we could touch the stingrays!
