~~ We took Rob and Cheryl to see some waterfalls near here that has a 50 foot cliff where you can jump into a beautiful lagoon below. Both Rob and Mike jumped while Cheryl and I enjoyed swimming in the cool, nice water.
~~ Our little adventure at Coffin Island began when big waves (due to a nearby tropical storm) flung Mike into some rocks while he was body surfing. Thank God it wasn't worse!
~~ One day, as we were getting ready to eat lunch, our beautiful sunny day suddenly turned dark and very windy and the ocean waves got really big. Then all of the sudden it started to downpour. Trying to figure out what was happening, we got online and checked the weather. We were experiencing what they called a "tropical wave" (who knows what that means). But within a half hour, the rain stopped, the winds died down, the ocean became calmer, the sun was back out, and the sky was crystal clear. It ended up being a very beautiful day! Weird!
~~ We found 2 Man-of-War jellyfish on our beach on two different days. One of which Mike kept in a bucket and fed hermit crabs to (after we talked him out of keeping it in our iguana pool).
~~ One day, we took our puppy, Mia, out for a walk on the beach (which is in our back yard). She had never seen the ocean before so she ran right out and chased a wave. Unfortunately, she got surprised by a bigger wave which knocked her over, rolled her, and began to pull her out to sea. Luckily, we were close enough to grab her but that was the end of her fun with the sea. She stayed far away from the water after that. However, this last week she has gotten braver and began going in the water again. In fact, by the end of our walk, she was going deep enough in the water that her legs and belly were completely wet.
~~ Rob and Cheryl blessed us by painting a wall in our living room for us! They changed it from a dark red to a beautiful light green. The room looks a lot brighter and more cheerful. They also painted our hallway. Our house looks so much better now!
