In September 2009 we were very fortunate to get up close and personal with the dolphins at Sea World.
The head dolphin trainer happened to live next door to my parents.
Yep, he lived way out in the country, travelled over an hour to work every day.
He had horses and used to get hay from Mum & Dad.
He very kindly offered free tickets for the whole family, that's six adults and eight children, into Sea World.
But not only that, he told us to stay after the dolphin show for a private feeding and patting of them.
I've loved dolphins for a very long time, so this was an amazing day for me.
They're just so beautiful.
And if you haven't felt one before, they feel like a shiny new, wet rubber boot.
