Family Visitors

We returned from our Europe trip to welcome Allison and Donovan to the island. After being here for two years we seem to take things for granted. Seeing Bonaire through our family's eyes was a treat.  All the things we found enduring they noticed. All the things we found amusing they did too. They kept us busy. We enjoyed new adventures and revisited some old ones.  

We loved our two weeks with them and hope for a return visit.  

Allison and Don both tried wind surfing while Rick and I took pictures and remembered how hard it was to do. I snapped this photo during a rest session.  It's a grueling learning process. 

I haven't dived on Bonaire so the Grand enticed me to go. We did a shore and boat dive after a refresher for me and a short course for Don. We couldn't keep him out of the water whether it was snorkeling, diving or cooling in the pool.  I think he is hooked on diving now.

We also managed to go land sailing.  I think this was one of Don's favorite activities.  We also enjoyed kayaking in the mangroves. The mangroves on Bonaire are a protected area and we learned so much about the area and the animals through a lovely kayaking trip.  Rick and I have never been kayaking but now it is on our radar to do more regularly.

We also rested, thank God. We have been on the move for a month plus in Europe followed by two weeks of entertaining a 13-year-old boy.  We have loved every minute of it !!!

Can't wait for the next time.
