More Family Activities

We went to a beach called Magazine beach, but commonly referred to as Aquarium beach b/c of a restaurant right off the beach.  But from what I've been able to tell, that's probably the more fitting name! It's a great place to snorkel and see cool stuff.  When we went this day the people we were with saw a 6 foot manta ray!  D just missed it, but saw where it had been hanging out in the sand.  They have cool big shells and sand dollars.  We saw tons of fish and a little eel like thing that would stick it's neck out of it's hiding place and grab a nearby swimming meal.  D and Cayden had a blast looking all around, I guess we need to invest in some snorkeling gear!
 Me and Hudson (and Addie for a while) like to hang out on the beach.  He only has interest to stay for about 30 minutes then he tells me he wants to go.  He does like to dig and make and destroy sand castles when I can keep his attention away from the car.  Addie spends most of her time at the edge of the water.  She's gotten braver now, though, and will go out and swim a little bit.  Both the older 2 like it when they can use the life jackets and float around.  Not a bad life, I know. :)
 We were trying to get a good picture of the beautiful blue ocean, but all you can see in this picture is a beautiful cheesy grin :)  See that tiny thin line of blue?  Ya, that's the water.
 This is the back of our little car.  Nice and cozy.  I think we'll have to up the space when baby 4 is here, not sure if it's legal to put your other kids in the trunk... (just kidding!)
 Showing off their yummy Ting drinks.  We were are the opening bazaar for the school and they gave away free drinks.  They had other things there, like info booths, places to get your internet/cable set up, food from nearby restaurants and local vendors, things like that.  A good place to go to learn about what's available around the island.
 Theses guys were really cool.  They were the show we all sat and watched.  It was basically this drumline and a couple dancers.  It was pretty fun to watch.  One guy was using a conch shell to add to the music.  It plays just one note, but cool to listen to!  They also did a Limbo game with whoever wanted to play.  Fun and Festive!
