Swimming with Wild Dolphins in Rockingham, Western Australia (December, 2013)

Cody's brother, Kip and his family (Emily and Cy) came out to Perth for Christmas.  We got a babysitter and booked a tour with Rockingham Wild Encounters to swim with wild dolphins.  The boat takes you out and finds dolphins and they use quiet water scooters and drag you right up along the dolphins while they are playing in the wild.  It's pretty awesome as they aren't in captivity at all and they never use any food or bait to get the dolphins to hang around.  We were lucky and had a whole bunch of them around us for most of the day and got a lot of time in the water with them.
