although I don’t go back to work until Wednesday, this morning I woke up at 6, which is pretty good, as yesterday it was 5 am…

yesterday when I got up, I went out and had a lovely hot tub…  we had missed the hot tub a lot because where we were the temperature of the hot tubs was 92 degrees, which is not hot…

I also spent some time with the 3000 pictures we took… the kids came by and we went out to stock the empty cupboards and find something to make for our supper…

Tavin and I, with help from Kyler, worked on a PowerPoint for his class and Crystal and I finished transferring pictures so that we each have all of them…  after they left I watched a bit of TV and went to bed…

don’t think I’ll go out for a hot tub this morning as it is currently -42 with the wind chill…

following everyone through the caves…

Kyler was asking what was the most fun for me on the trip… I’ve been thinking about that quite a bit since the question and still can’t put my finger on just one thing… I did a few things that I wasn’t sure I would be able to… swimming in the underground caves, walking on the bottom of the ocean – both of which make me think I am not as claustrophobic as I previously thought…

walking on the bottom of the ocean…

while we were walking on the bottom, I was thinking of George and wondering if he would have done this… it would have been fun to do it together…

watching the kids on the rope walk…

I also love spending time with my family in the outdoors, and particularly in and around water – snorkeling, swimming, playing in the pool, jet skiing, fishing…  what a fun time we had…

catching pretty little fish with gorgeous blue stripes…

what a special seven days we had together…  everyone made wonderful memories… my kids truly are amazing beings…
