Fun in Fiji!

April 14, 2019

We are on an early schedule, at least for us, and up around 6:00 am. It is nice to get up early and go out before it gets so hot although there really isn't a big difference in temperature ever. Andy said you are always wet, either in the water, sweating or rain and it is so true. Another great snorkel out in the front of our place. The Kids grabbed stand up paddle boards, we did some kayaking and the boys have pretty much perfected the blob.  The locals continue to cheer them on when they are out there.

Hudson did his first dive with scuba master Joe. 

He took a special interest in Hudson and was awesome with him. They saw eels and lots of cool stuff.  Hudson came back totally pumped up and ready to get certified! Dive Master Joe said Hudson has great skill and could be an amazing diver which Hudson was pretty pumped about.

While the boys went diving I went out on a snorkel trip.  So much beautiful coral! They was bright blue stag horn coral, lots of soft corals and multi colored coral like plate coral that was pink and then purple on the rim.  Even got to see black coral! A bunch of schools of fish.

Saylor ended up staying back and hanging out in the hammock and reading.  A great afternoon for everyone.

Vitily ( the scuba guy that took us to the caves and on my snorkel) came by.  We gave him all of the reading glasses, coloring books, over 100 tooth brushes, pencil cases, crayons and misc items  we brought to share with everyone that lives in his village on the island.  I wish we had more time to take the items ourselves.

Hudson is now climbing the coconut trees for his own coconuts! He takes them to the bar and they open them and put ice in for a Hudson cocktail!

                                                                           

 A relaxing dinner and then a storm came in and it poured and lots of wind.  Feeling grateful for a well built bure as we fall sleep.
