One of the highlights of the weekend was the dhow trip to a small sand island about 5 kilometers off shore. We motored out, stopping a couple times along the way for snorkeling, something none of us had ever done before. All of us bailed overboard, including Ava, who paddled around in her water wings while we all were amazed at the coral, fish and beatutiful water. We ended up on the sand island where we ate a boxed lunch, collected shells, played in the waves, desperately tried to stave off impending sunburn...
The boys are floating along totally into snorkeling. Noah was the big surprise, as he is often the more fearful one preferring to do his own (planned and expected) thing. Once he hit the water, though, he was loving it!
Ava is looking around for some lunch. Or maybe looking around to see if anyone is seeing her looking for some lunch. After 2 days out on the island she got a bit of sunburn on her legs which was a very big deal for her (as is every minute scrape or mark). All the kids now understand the value of sunscreen, especially at the equator!

6 going on 16 some days! She's too clever and verbal for her own good right now. She spent the last couple days practicing writing on her tablet and reading. Noah's currently on a book writing/publishing and art obsession so she's trying to follow him in his activities.
