With that being said, I thought what better way to celebrate my 40th than to bring my mom &amp; Dad with me for my next feature story at Dolphinaris.<\/p>\n<p>What i didn\u2019t foresee was the number of protestors who felt strongly about me not going &#8230;.. I\u2019m an animal lover through and through so I understood why they would question a big fish living in a small sea.<\/p>\n<p>Before scheduling the experience I asked the question, \u201cAre the Dolphins taken from the ocean.\u201d &amp; the response I received was that all of the dolphins have been born and raised in human care. They have only known the love and care of their caregivers and if they were to be released their chances of survival would be slim.<\/p>\n<p>With that being said Mom, Dad and I headed out to Dolphinaris. Upon arrival the first thing I noticed was how much the trainers at Dolphinaris loved the Dolphins. Trust me the love was deep and if it wasn\u2019t they would all have academy awards for acting.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_7142\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-7142\" style=\"width: 1500px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img  loading=\"lazy\"  decoding=\"async\"  class=\"wp-image-7142 size-full pk-lqip pk-lazyload\"  src=\"https:\/\/media.arizonafoothillsmagazine.com\/health-and-fitness\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/05\/24161318\/IMG_0094-1-80x53.jpg\"  alt=\"\"  width=\"1500\"  height=\"1003\"  data-pk-sizes=\"auto\"  data-ls-sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1500px) 100vw, 1500px\"  data-pk-src=\"https:\/\/www.arizonafoothillsmagazine.com\/fitness\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/05\/IMG_0094-1.jpg\"  data-pk-srcset=\"https:\/\/media.arizonafoothillsmagazine.com\/health-and-fitness\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/05\/24161318\/IMG_0094-1.jpg 1500w, https:\/\/media.arizonafoothillsmagazine.com\/health-and-fitness\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/05\/24161318\/IMG_0094-1-300x201.jpg 300w, https:\/\/media.arizonafoothillsmagazine.com\/health-and-fitness\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/05\/24161318\/IMG_0094-1-1024x685.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/media.arizonafoothillsmagazine.com\/health-and-fitness\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/05\/24161318\/IMG_0094-1-768x514.jpg 768w, https:\/\/media.arizonafoothillsmagazine.com\/health-and-fitness\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/05\/24161318\/IMG_0094-1-380x254.jpg 380w, https:\/\/media.arizonafoothillsmagazine.com\/health-and-fitness\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/05\/24161318\/IMG_0094-1-800x535.jpg 800w, https:\/\/media.arizonafoothillsmagazine.com\/health-and-fitness\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/05\/24161318\/IMG_0094-1-1160x776.jpg 1160w, https:\/\/media.arizonafoothillsmagazine.com\/health-and-fitness\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/05\/24161318\/IMG_0094-1-80x53.jpg 80w, https:\/\/media.arizonafoothillsmagazine.com\/health-and-fitness\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/05\/24161318\/IMG_0094-1-750x502.jpg 750w, https:\/\/media.arizonafoothillsmagazine.com\/health-and-fitness\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/05\/24161318\/IMG_0094-1-620x415.jpg 620w, https:\/\/media.arizonafoothillsmagazine.com\/health-and-fitness\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/05\/24161318\/IMG_0094-1-850x568.jpg 850w\" ><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-7142\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Dolphin photos courtesy of Dolphinaris<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>As we began the experience, our trainer asked who wanted to be the first to receive Dolphin kisses.
