One year ago today was a really great day. The entire group took a bus trip to a private beach area to enjoy some water sport activities. We started the day by going snorkeling. The kids were really unsure if they wanted to try it or not, but the decided to give it a try. When we finally arrived to the location where we were going to snorkel, we had all of our gear on and it was time to jump off the side of the boat into the ocean. The kids were extremely nervous, but they did it. I was so surprised because the boat was at least 10-12 feet above the water, so it was a big jump to get into the water. Dave and I jumped in first and then they jumped in to us. After they were in the water and we started swimming we realized the waves were quite high because it was an extremely windy day. The kids at this point were both in tears and not enjoying it at all. I had Kyle and Dave had Allicia....we were trying to calm them down and get them to at least look into the water. So finally I looked below and there were beautiful fish all around us. I told Kyle that he needs to look and see what was below us. So finally I got him to look and just as he put his head in the water, I put my head down as well to see his reaction. As he put his head down a really big fish swam up and looked him right in the eyes. Before I knew it he was freaking out....he did not like it at all and insisted that he wanted to go back to the boat. Dave wasn't having any more luck with Allicia so we took them back to the boat and they waited with the Grandma's while the rest of us enjoyed the rough waters.
After we finished snorkeling we went back to the beach to either participate in another activities or just relax on the beach. Allicia couldn't decide what she wanted to do, so we ended up just relaxing on the beach with her, but Kyle and Grandpa Pete rented wave runners and a small 2 passenger boat to tool around in out in the ocean. They had a great time...and by the time they were done Kyle had decided that he wished he would have stayed in the ocean when we were snorkeling. I told him the next time we go on vacation he can try it again.
After the long day at the beach and our fun activities we headed back to our resort and enjoyed a nice meal at the Japanese restaurant in our resort. From there we all went to the lounge to enjoy some tasty cocktails and shots. As you can see we even got Grandma and Nancy to do shots with us. :) It was another great day in paradise. As you can see from the picture below....we were all extremely tired. Kyle couldn't even stay up long enough to eat the BLT he had ordered into the room. This is how Grandpa Pete found him we he went to his room at the end of the night.
