Surprise at the Beach

One day Caleb and I were bored....ok...so I was bored...and I asked Caleb where he wanted to go. He told me the beach. I thought...ok...we can go to Mission Beach and walk around and have a romantic stroll. So we get there and we found parking right up front which was a good start. We walked around and looked at the rides and shops and headed towards the boardwalk. Caleb wanted to get near the water before taking a stroll so I agree. As we headed towards the water I happened to notice a lot of people just standing around with cameras and looking out towards the ocean. Caleb was too busy collecting seaweed:



Well I got curious and looked out towards the ocean to see what the fuss was about and what do you know! There were groups of dolphins swimming and jumping in the waves right near the shore! I counted at least 10 or maybe 12 of them just playing about. When I shouted to Caleb to look he totally thought they were whales and shouted "WHALES MOMMA!" I went along with it and said yes baby...look at the whales! I don't know why I didn't just say dolphins...I think I was too excited and busy admiring the surprise that I wasn't paying attention and by then it was too late. You can't really see them in the pictures but they are there! What an unexpected surprise to our romantic little stroll!
