Freedom, Family, Fish, Fireworks, Frogs, Fantastic Fun...

Happy Independence Day!

We spent the morning taking family pics on the hotel grounds. The hotel is so beautiful, it's a background for pictures. It was crazy getting pictures of 27 people, but oh so much fun :) 




























We had a little time to relax after pictures before our super awesome snorkel excursion

We went on the most amazing snorkel excursion with Mike, Sierra, Jentry and Camden. We rode the Fourwinds II out to Coral Bay. The older kids loved the boat ride, Dax slept right through it :)



We docked at Coral Bay, a coral cove that is hard to access by land so we were there without any other tourists. The water was clear and there was an abundance of colorful fish. 















The boat even had little floaties with a glass window that the kids could lay on and see the fish. It was the perfect snorkel excursion for us!


After the snorkeling fun we had a BBQ lunch and then headed back. 








 Ok, it wasn't entirely perfect: I caught this little fight on camera and thought it was too funny to not post :) The kids did have a blast 99% of the time!

 The boat ride got super windy on the way home, so we snuggled up



We got home in time for some Sunset Selfies :)










Then we headed down to the beach to see if we could see some fireworks!



  
The little crabs came out of the sand when it got dark. Dax was terrified and jumped onto my foot to get away from them :)





We continued the party by relaxing on the hammock, and then the kids went for a little night swim:



 (Cole learned a new trick-jumping in through the hole in the floaty)


On our way back to our room we saw a bunch of frogs in the little pond:



We had a FABULOUS Day!! So grateful to be free and get to have amazing experiences like this. We are extremely blessed!
