Blown in the wind on the boat ride!
Gwen enjoyed her fried rice and fried egg lunch on the beach. The snorkling company provided the lunch.
The reason we chose this island was because it was advertised as having fish that came up into the shallow water so that even small children could enjoy them. This was certainly true... there were schools of striped and rainbow fish that clustered around in the shallow water. The kids found that if they held a slice of watermelon out in the water, these fish would gather around and nibble at it!
We discovered some little tide pools in these rocks that had little creatures in them. Caleb was bent on trying to capture them.
We snorkled right off of this beach at first, struggling to get masks and snorkles adjusted so that they didn't have water leaking in from everywhere. About an hour after we arrived, the snorkling company took us out into deeper water to snorkle off the boat over a reef. Scott stayed on the beach with the girls so that I could go out with the boys off the boat. My favorite part of it was hearing Seth's muffled exclaimations coming through his snorkle as he saw the wonders below the surface! No underwater pictures, sadly! We were pretty sure we spotted Gill (from Nemo!) and several of his relatives.

can't believe they still serve everything in those sytofoam containers. have you had the fresh juices served in whacky plastic bags with handles (so they can be held on bicycle handles?)
Hi! I ran into Scott's Mom at church recently. I used to babsit for the Liptak kids. My name is Sheree (Purdy). Please tell Scott I said hello, and that I really enjoyed looking at the blog. What a beautiful family! (What do I remember Scott being like? I'm sure his kids would ask. Very responsible, and always perfectly behaved.) :o) I'm sure they are just like him! Sheree
