Florida Vacation and the Dolphin Story

In the fall of 2005 Natalie, Melisa and I took a family trip to Panama City Florida for Natalie's brother Rusty's wedding. Natalie was 7 years old at the time. This was about 4 weeks after hurricane Katrina. We saw and met many refugees from New Orleans at the motel we stayed at in Fort Walton Beach. This was a very sad experience for us, many of these people had just lost their homes, all their belongings, their jobs and were searching for loved ones. Many of them did not know where their next meal was going to come from or where they were going to be staying tomorrow. It was difficult to see all of the grief and sadness the refugees were dealing with when we were looking so forward to having a great vacation.

The next day while playing on the beach we saw a waterspout in the gulf.

 

 

We stopped by Destin on our way to Panama City and could not believe how the beautiful beach that we had such a great time at just one year earlier had been destroyed by Hurricane Charlie. We also saw the effects of the red tide in Destin. We couldn't handle the sight and smell of all the dead fish covering the beach so we quickly headed for Panama City. 

The next afternoon Natalie and I went to check out the Gulf World that was across the street from the motel we were staying at. They had a deal where you could swim with the dolphins. They still had openings for that afternoon so we checked with mom and then signed Natalie up for it. It turns out that nobody else signed up to swim with the dolphins that day. Normally they could have up to 20 people swimming with the dolphins but I think because of Katrina and it being off-season Natalie was the only one that afternoon. There were 2 instructors, 2 dolphins and our shy Natalie in a large pool.  She had a great time and was able to spend a lot of individual quality time with the dolphins and the instructors that normally would not have happened. We all had a great time and we have so many wonderful pictures and memories of that day!!!!

 

She also was kissed by a Sea Lion that day!!!

Happy Birthday Girl!!

Natalie Paige Fossier - May 4th, 1997



Your 1st birthday party was held at our house. We didn't want to get into having huge parties for you so we only invited Russ, Grandma & Grandpa and your cousin Samantha but didn't mention to Samantha that it was for your birthday. Samantha's mom Cathy figured it out and Samantha came over with a gift. We had dinner, I baked a Winnie the Pooh cake, we all hung out with you and enjoyed watching you play and have cake.

On your 2nd birthday we decided to have a party at Swaim Park. We sent invites out with a request for no gifts. If anyone absolutely wanted to bring something they could bring you a book. You had lots of books!! We played games & won prizes and had fried chicken, cake, ice cream etc. I remember at one point I walked away from where you were sitting. There were quite a few people there so I guess you thought your aunt Janie was me standing next to you. You looked over at me & realized I wasn't next to you and you started balling your eyes out. Looking back now I realized we spent a lot of time together and we were as close as close could be.





On your 3rd birthday party Aunt Donna came in from Colorado, we had you a party at home with dinner and cake. Russ, Chelsea, Grandma and Grandpa all came over. You got a lot of Barbie Doll things and a chalkboard. We all sat on the floor and played with your gifts. As with all of your birthdays the celebrations lasted for a whole week. We also went out to dinner at Sloppy Joe's on the river. I think you had 3 or 4 birthday cakes that week.

On your 4th birthday we went to Chuckie Cheese's. Again we invited a lot of people, but this year Dad & I realized that after being so shy & quiet all year long that you blossomed on your birthday celebration. You were dancing and singing, hugging your little friends and family members and talking up a storm. The next day you were back to you shy and quiet and angelic self.

Your 5th birthday party was held at Family Fun Center in Eastgate. You were a real princess wearing a beautiful pink dress with a tiara on your head. You greeted all your friends with an excited hug and a big smile. You enjoyed planning your birthday parties and did such a good job. Dad and I saw again this out of the ordinary outgoing person. Did you blossom again? No, the next day you went back to being your shy, quiet angelic self.





Your 6th Birthday party was held at Kid's First gymnastics place on Kemper road. At the time you were taking gymnastics. You invited your closest friends and we had so much fun. We finished with pizza, cake and ice cream. You really lit up!! Dad and I need to laugh about how different you are on your birthday celebrations. The next day you returned to your shy, quiet, angelic self.

Your 7th Birthday party was held at Swaim Park. Again you planned it out and invited your closest and dearest friends. We always enjoyed watching Fear Factor so we decided to plan a Fear Factor theme birthday party. Wow - how much fun can a person have on their birthday? We had vanilla ice cream with Oreo cookies & gummy worms crawling out of the smashed cookies. We had another cake which was carrot cake with cream cheese icing. We had chicken and a few other side dishes. We played games consisting of prunes in a plastic baggie of cooked rice (we called them sheep eyes). You eat one and you win a prize. We spread limburger cheese out on trays with gummy worms laying in the stinky cheese with your hands behind your backs you had to pick up a gummy worm with your teeth, run down the field and spit it in the garbage can to win a prize. Another game we had was Jell-O in a show box with odd things inside - you had to pick something out (blindfolded) and tell what it was and of course win a prize. You blossomed again on this day and again the next day you were your quiet, shy angelic self.

Your 8th birthday party was held at the roller skating rink in Loveland. You planned it and invited your closest friends. You had a Barbie cake and I saw you blossom again. You were roller skating with your friends and just so happy & having so much fun!!! You were laughing so hard one time that you fell down with a couple of your friends. The next day you were your quiet, shy and angelic self.




Your 9th birthday party was held at Just For Fun in Loveland. Again you got to plan the party and invite your closest friends. That was fun!!! Russ was actually in the tumblers with Brooklyn. While we were all eating pizza your friend Tyler took a drink of Sprite and it came out his nose and everyone laughed so hard. Tyler was so embarrassed. You are truly an angel. You were so excited and so happy greeting everyone, smiling, laughing and having so much fun!! Again the next day you were your quiet, shy, angelic self.

I found a tablet you had written on, planning your 10th birthday celebration out. You had games, prizes, names of guests and where you wanted to celebrate it. You must have started this the same night of your 9th birthday party. What would have been your 10th birthday you were in heaven being your sweet quiet angelic self. You will always be our nine-year-old baby girl.


We love you and miss you so much.
We'll see you in Heaven.
Mom & Dad

Natalie's Grampa joined her in heaven on 4/4/09.

If they had this much fun here we can only imagine how wonderful heaven must be.   We love you and miss you Dad.  We pray that you and Natalie are having fun and doing good in heaven.  And that we will all be together again someday in a heavenly world.
