Whale Watching

While my parents were in town My mom, dad, Kelly, Zack, Sam & I went whale watching. My sister, Kelly heard of this place called 7 Seas Whale Watch out of Gloucester, MA so we gave it a try. It really was one of the coolest things that I have ever done. We went out on a yacht looking boat and were out in the water for about 5 hours. We ended up seeing about 12 whales (humpback, finback & minke). We mainly followed this little family of humpback whales.
Matching, matching green squared.This is my mom posing inside where we hung out while we were riding out to the "whale hotspots". It was fun to have the tables so we just played a few rounds of Idiot (card game) while we were waiting.
Zack got to come with us mostly so he wouldn't be a home to bug his sisters. It was fun to have him there.
Here the whale was waving to us and putting a little show. It was so funny.

Here are the 3 whales that we followed a lot of the time. I just loved to see their tails. It was such a perfect day to go.

You guys totally planned the matching outfits, I just know it. I loved the videos because I picture whales just floating around and hardly moving because they're so big. Very cool.

That is so cool! I want to go whale watching; that's a long time but totally worth it. The whale was waving at the boat.

I have always wanted to do that. It sounds like so much fun! I would've thought that we'd see a lot of whales on our cruise ship but we only saw their backs and spouts. :(
