Today we went to Francis Bay. It's the farthest east of what are typically called the North Shore Beaches. Nathan and I have never been there, so it was a first experience for all of us. As soon as we got there Nathan took both kids off to snorkel, and I just hung out in the water. I saw another big sting ray, and as Nathan and the kids were coming back towards me, I spotted a turtle sticking its head out of the water right in between us. I yelled and pointed it out, and they headed towards it and managed to spot it under the water. I swam out to them and Z gave me his mask and snorkel, so I got a good look at it too. It was a beauty -- about 2 feet along the length of its shell, just eating sea grass at the bottom of the Caribbean. That's also a first for all of us -- seeing a sea turtle.
After the snorkeling Eden had fun drawing in the sand, and then we went back to the house, had supper, and went down to a local restaurant for dessert and a little Olympics. Then back home and to bed.
Eden very proud of her writing in the sand. It says, "I heart U Mom" She's such a sweetie!
