Beach Day!

Going to the beach is one of our favorite things to do so when our friends asked if we wanted to spend the day basking in the sun we happily agreed! We had lived on this on this island for nine months before we returned to the U.S. for our home assignment but this was the first time for us to experience this particular beach.
After a long and very bumpy ride in the van we reached the little spot where we could load onto the boat. All 13 of us (6 adults and 7 kids) loaded into a little boat and headed off into the ocean!
After a short ride and much discussion with our boat captain ;-) we made it to a land of beauty! We were able to spend hours swimming, snorkeling, and soaking up some rays!

Israel and Laken LOVE to swim and they never took off their goggles!


My sweet boy Liam! He loves the water too and would just sit in the water and play so content all by himself!


Raquel and Laken having a blast!


Logan went snorkeling and brought back these crazy cool starfish for the boys to play with!


We don't have an underwater camera so I tried to capture a fish just looking into the water. If you look carefully you can see a tiny little blue fish swimming around the coral!


A sweet family shot before we headed back to the mainland on our boat!


We had such a great day, and we are so blessed and to have such awesome friends (who just so happen to be our coworkers!) to spend this blessed time with. Our trip back was very eventful as it started to absolutely pour about 30 seconds into our trip! Too bad none of us had water proof cameras to capture the moment!
