Secret Beach Adventure

Josh had the day off on Friday, so we decided to go to Secret Beach with a couple friends to snorkel. Remember, Shane and I took a boat ride there last semester? This time we wanted to take a catamaran (sp?) or kayak there. We walked down the beach but the people renting the kayaks weren't there
So, we did what any self-respecting parents would do- swam there with our 1 year old in tow in his floatie.
Lest you think we're crazy, it was just around this bend and a short bay over. (Unless you want to be impressed by my swimming prowess- then it was really, really far away!)
And, it's the Caribbean- there aren't really waves and we were in pretty shallow water. We only had 1 snorkel set, so Josh pulled Shane and swam with the fins while I swam behind with the mask and snorkel. Shaners was such a trooper and I think he really enjoyed himself. Seeing this little cute sight the whole way kept me going
We made it there, woohoo!
We rested for a minute on the beach and enjoyed some of the scenery
Then Josh and I took turns snorkeling and watching Shane
Shane played,
and explored,
and was generally happy as a clam
I brought my camera in my new waterproof case and had fun trying to take pictures underwater
After an hour so, we made our way back. I guess we tired Shane out, because this is what happened on the way back.

We love this little boy, and are glad he likes adventures too!

Geez kelly, you kill me every time. Maybe I should take pictures of me bracing the wind and cold, trying to stay warm on the weekends.

I think Shane is the cutest little boy I have ever seen.

Great pictures! And even if it was close, with a kid in a floatie in tow, I'm still impressed by your swimming prowess. Where did you get your waterproof camera thing? We decided we want to get one before our next big trip. P.S. You don't look like the Kelly I know with a scuba mask on your face, lol. Not bad, just not like you.
