More of what we've been up to!


**Note** This blogging thing with pictures is driving my mom crazy. They don't match up like they do in preview mode, so we'll fix the fish names tomorrow.***Okay, we started out with breakfast at the Museo and it was yummy. Then we did some errands in town and then got to head over to the other side of the island and play in the sand and boogie board...yeah! Then in the afternoon we hung out at our house and swam in the pool and snorkeled off of the beach. Colby is relaxing in our hammock. Then we went to Kinta for dinner and we had some really good food. Mom and dad really liked it there.














































The next day we went to Punta Sur and went snorkeling again. We like the beach there and the hammocks too. Oh yeah, we went back to the crocodile lagoon and saw three of them up close. Very creepy!





















































Okay, so here's the cool part about snorkeling. We'll try to tell you what the fish are called, and if you want to see a close up just click on the picture. Far left is some pretty coral and on the bottom is a Queen angel fish. On the top right is an Ocean triggerfish and below is a Yellowtail damselfish. They are very pretty and neon.











Left is a bunch of Jacks swimming around. Right is a Foureye butterfly fish.












Left is a Trunkfish and boy are they shaped funny! Right is a pretty purple fan coral and on the bottom are some fish.












Left is a Stoplight parrot fish with a cleaner fish right on top of it. Right is a Colby fish!












Can you find the fish in this picture? It's a Peacock flounder. On the right is a Queen triggerfish, they are not common we only saw one.










On the left is another Colby fish. Colby is freediving down to about 30 feet! On the right is a French angelfish.









Left is a Fairy basslet. It is a very bright purple and yellowfish and is also a very tiny fish. On the right is a Josh fish. He was free diving down over a piece of wreckage and the fish in that barrel kept coming out after him defending their territory. Josh thought it was funny, but mom thought his nose was going to become fish food!






Left is a juvenile Blue tang. They start out life bright yellow and then turn blue. Right is a juvenile French angel fish. They are so cool.







Okay, so today we went sailing on a catamaran in the Carribean. We started at 9:00 in the morning and sailed up to the north part of the island. It was so nice sitting up on the front of the boat. Then a big storm came up all of the sudden and we sailed back towards the marina. They barbequed lunch for us on the boat. The coolest thing was that we saw a bunch of flying fish! We love it here! Tonight we're going for pizza!
