Orca WhaleTour-St. Anthony's, Newfoundland











We took the boys on a whale tour and it was the most amazing thing we have ever done. We were on a two and a half hour boat ride in search for whales and I thought it was going to be a big waste. The waters were extremely bumpy and poor Bryan spent the entire two and a half hours throwing up over the side. Since he was sick I had both boys who were exhausted and ended up falling asleep in my lap. It was very hard to hold on to them seeing that we were constantly being tossed by the waves. Just when I thought it couldn't get any worse someone spotted a blow hole so we went to find to find out what it was. It turned out is was three pods on Orca otherwise known as killer whale (or Shamu). They were amazing. For about 45 min. they followed us where ever we went. They would swim right up to the boat and as they went underneath they would turn upside down so that you could see their white underbellies. I would have had much better pictures but between trying to take pictures (that I had to manually focus) while holding two sleeping boys on a rocking boat with Bryan throwing up over the side was not very easy.
