Bonaire


It's about time I post this... So back in July we went on this amazing scuba trip with Dave's family to a little tiny island off the coast of Venezuela called Bonaire! It was beautiful! It is a place known only for diving, and that's pretty much all there was to do, so it made for a nice, relaxing, no agenda vacation! It was so fantastic! Now that you all are so jealous, here are the pictures. There will be a bunch of separate posts, since I don't know how to do a slide show yet. (I know, I'm pathetic)...

This is the restaurant, with the dock below. We kept all our gear there, so we could easily gear up and jump in. Very nice to not have to haul it to our rooms every day!
This is the view from our room. It is one of 3 pools, and I think this one was the best! The kids spent a lot of time in there! It had a great shallow area that was perfect for Araleigh to walk around in.
Araleigh in the restaurant, which is right on the beach, as you see, it has sand for a floor :) It was rough, eating on the beach 3 meals a day, but, what can ya do? Araleigh is a pro at restaurants now, she will always ask for a "dink of water" and when the waitress takes our orders, she says "I want chicken".
Jaxon just noticed his face is blue... from driftwood painting (I'll tell you about that later)
