I just want to quickly jot down what we did today. Right now, it seems like just another ordinary type day here, but I think later on in life I will look back and think...that was pretty extraordinary;)
Boyd had his final test for the semester yesterday, so today was our first day of the three week break. A few days ago, the ladies all got together and decided on a lot of different activities that we wanted to do together over this break. We made some great plans, and today was the first outing. At 9:00 we all hopped/crammed on a transport and headed over to Sunset beach. Sunset is a place that they have a large restaurant, some places to stay, and pool, and a nice beach with some giant trees shading it.
We all started out on the beach. Boyd and I watched another couple's (Megan and Nate Russel's) baby, while they went out snorkeling. We played football, splashed in the water, ate sand...well, that was Emi and Brant, and relaxed until they came back. Then, they wanted to take all the kids up to the pool while Boyd and I went out snorkeling. On our way up, there were three giant iguanas just hanging around. Nate caught one and all the kids got to pet it. There were also iguanas sitting on the branches of the palm trees hanging over the pool. How cool is that:) We tossed are kids in the water and off we went.
Now, just saying, Boyd is kind of a snorkeling snob. Growing up, he snorkeled in Hawaii and some other pretty awesome places. So, today, he didn't really care to go, but I feel like I've been missing Boyd lately, and so I made him go. I'm so glad I did! Just that little bit of alone time to swim hand in hand was GOLDEN! We also saw a large ray, some squid, and a bunch of neat fish. What Fun!
After snorkeling, we headed back to the pool for some lunch, leisure, and great company. Kasie and Skyler Shippen were there with us and our kids just played and played while we chatted.
What a fun day! Can't wait for the rest of the break!
