Turks and Caicos! Days 5-6, July 14-15th

girls at the pool... :) 

We had family photos taken on the beach. This is just a sweet picture of the kids... I can't share all of our pictures otherwise our Christmas card "surprise" would be ruined. :) These two look precious in this picture... I just love it.

We started day five on a boat! A private charter out to Iguana Island, with snorkeling along the way. :) 




Walker started off strong...but didn't make it through the snorkeling expedition. He got a bit overwhelmed with the waves (who wouldn't?) and bailed about 5 minutes in. It was rough out there...I was proud of him for trying.

Hellooo, fish!





Lainey liked this purple coral. She, too, had a hard time snorkeling at first but stuck with it...she ended up having a great time.

Cally, Kate, and Uncle Greg

Lainey and the waves


Look how shallow it is! And all the light!

This pretty rainbow fish...he was hard to catch.


Lainey liked this fish. The black one with bright blue spots.

our guide, taking out a conch for us to eat...




That's what a real conch looks like. Out of its shell.

Ben ate the spinal cord of the conch. It looked like a slimy, clear, thin gummy worm. I love Ella's face in this photo. :)

Iguana Island...there are a lot of wild iguanas.


This one was NOT afraid of us!

Uncle Greg, preparing to jump off the boat!


Brooke and her cannonball...

Lainey :) 

These two birds followed our boat home. They were quite entertaining!


 When we stopped for diving and sliding, we also pulled up some sand dollars! Real sand dollars! The one on the far left is very dark...it's still alive. It had to go back into the water. So cool and beautiful but SO FRAGILE.


Lainey took this photo of a sunset...so beautiful!
