Snorkeling

Our favorite part of our trip was snorkeling, we did it four times.

 Me, "I felt like I was in an aquarium swimming with the fish."
MY LB, "It was like being in a National Geographic program, with front row seats."
Maggie, "It blew my mind!" 
Spencer, "It was amazing, the fish were right in front of my face."
Matthew, "There were a lot of different kinds of fish, they were all cool to see in their natural habitat."
Kendal, "There were colorful fishies and I liked them when I saw them."

This was a fantastic experience for our family, it took the kids out of their comfort zone and taught them that if they stick to something the reward is worth it.  Snorkeling is definitely an experience that challenges you, getting used to breathing through your mouth alone and not your nose takes some getting used to.  We were so happy when they finally got it and loved it!  Even Kendal on top of mom or dad's back had a wonderful time snorkeling.  She would try to talk through her snorkel and amazingly we could understand her most of the time.  However, we all decided that the point and thumbs up method worked best.   Now we were all pointing left, right, up, down and we had an abundance of thumbs up.  Every time we went we saw new fish that we hadn't seen yet, it was truly amazing.
