Tomorrow we head home… sigh… it has been a very nice way to spend my birthday week!

Another turtle sighting… really, it just doesn’t get old!

We got up early today and went to check out some whale watching. We saw them splashing about from our hotel with binoculars. Too bad we saw them splashing about from the boat just about as close up as we did from our hotel, not much activity too close except for when I was looking the other way! Oh well…

I found some great beads after the hike…

We see the moon set each morning because we are still basically on Pacific time… not Hawaii time which is two hours earlier! Needless to say I’m learning lots by watching the National Geographic channel with my kids each morning, one of our few choices at that hour. Today Dude and I are off to find beads and hike, at least one of those activities will make me very happy! Ha!

So far we have seen turtles two days in a row! Today we must have seen 7-8 just swimming around in this little cove near our hotel… it was pretty sweet! Gotta run… my papaya is about to be snagged! Heehee…

Watch out! I’m going a little crazy with my flip camera now that I can take it underwater. Check back tomorrow to see if we see more turtles! The kids are amazing, they just jumped right in and started to snorkel. What an experience for them!

A week of fun in the sun with your family… does it get any better?!

It was a great week and it was certainly way too short … but it will be nice to be back home and to see the wee ones!

After a fun filled day, papaya is a great way to top it off!
