The excitment of the whale as if the whale knew it.
The whale 🐋 knew, no doubt in my mind. He knew 😊
The whale: peek a boo
The kids: awwwwwwwwe tur the boat awwwwwwwwe
The whale: peek a boo
The kids: awwwwwweeeeee performance!
This is so sweet to here these kids so happy to see the whale breach. I sure think that that whale can hear them.
I, have seen a Whale, in San Pedro, Ca. It is a Beautiful Sight❤
🧐: “E’s doing ah pehforhmance!”
Absolutely Heartwarming!💕
Your comment is underrated. I’m so sorry. It deserves more attention… it’s on point!
If only the whale knew what joy he/she is spreading by just living. ❤
🥹❤ I know, right.
I think they absolutely know and hear the commotion! There’s a little bit of performer in them lol
He probably did, their hearing is insane and water carries sound
She’s doing it to entertain them. They are quite intelligent and intuitive. She knows they are children and is enjoying herself. ❤
@@meanoldhag. Did a dolphin encounter a long time ago, and my 4 year old son, a happy little guy, was the only child in the group. The dolphin was irresistibly interested/attracted to his laugh and kept coming back to play with him. It was so cute how the dolphin kept returning to him and was gently splashing him ❤️
Pure joy to hear the excitement in the voice of all these children, to see the whale swimming around them, that gives me hope for future generations, they will treasure all kind of wildlife oceans, land and air .♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️
The whale is for sure hearing this Lively, Lovely happy bunch of little ones Soo beautiful to hear their laughter❤❤❤❤
Pretty the picture on your profile looks beautiful wow ❤is this your recent photo?
I too think this whale hears it
The whale can hear the children and is showing off 😹. So beautiful,😻
I’m thinking the same thing 😊
So sweet and innocent.
Pure sounds of joy!
That’s literally one of the best sounds in the world!😊 The whale def hears them!
This is exactly what childhood should feel like. Pure Joy❤
Better than adults around the globe especially who thinks of war and greed.

“He’s doing a performance!” In her cute English accent 🥰🥰🥰
Probably a “him”.
Children all sound the same
What a delight to hear the aahs, ohhh, giggles, laughter, and am sure there is some jumping , squiggling and of course the little commentaries running . I am not crying in joy you are 🤗🤗🤗🤗
This will be a moment/memory that stays in their hearts forever…
I was lucky enough to experience this during 8th grade, I still remember my experience, and I’m 40 now
