Friday July 25th

We spent the day on the beach until 3:30 today. Had a great time snorkeling with the kids (forgot how salty the sea is!) The weather is so perfect that it always keeps the sea at a warm temperature so I swam in the for the first time in about 15 years!
Elinoa found a star fish (Clementine), Millie had such fun building castles, digging holes and aso swam in the sea. She was far more fearless in the sea than in the pool, go figure.
James hired a kayak, and took the kids out in it one at a time. Yoav built a fantastic crocodile sand castle (photos on underwater camera) They could have stayed there for many more hours...
Back at the hotel, the kids watched a movie while we got ready for shabbat. I managed to pull the kids out one by one and convince them that they had to come and have photos taken by the yellow wall where the light was hitting it in such a beautiful way. You can see that Yoav came first and he got the light at just the right time before it started fading.

The kids got in to the whole 'chilling out on vacation and enjoying the simple pleausres' idea today - they chased birds & lizards and gathered up baby coconuts & flowers.
We had a great friday night dinner, even managed chicken soup & kneidlach and then lay in bed reading until we fell asleep at 9:30!
