HurFFF Cousins

The Hurst cousins had a lot of fun at the Hurst family reunion this year--HurFFF 2011.  Here's a look at some of the things we did.

Newest cupcakes

I made  cupcakes recently for church, a family friend, and for the Hurst family reunion.  They were really fun and broadened my horizons on cupcake decorating.  I did things I didn't know I could do and I had a lot of great helpers!

Dolphins!

Dolphins are my favorite creatures on the planet.  They are kind and playful and will protect humans from time to time.  I remember a study I heard about that found out that because of dolphins echo location, they can tell if a woman is pregnant and just like they do for their pregnant females, they will encircle the pregnant woman as if to protect her. That's cool.  Wouldn't you like dolphins protecting you if you were pregnant?  Well, I would.

Anyways, when we were visiting the dolphin tank at Sea World, we noticed they were having a great time.  (I think they like the Beach Boys, another reason to love dolphins!) This is not something we normally see.

Bay of Play

Sea World has a new children's area called the Bay of Play.  It's lots of fun!

Can't wait to share this fun place with all of our Hurst relatives this summer!
