Puerto Rico Part 5.... I think this is all... for now

Friday rocked! We had another day of pool and beach... mostly pool and it was perfect weather. Javier had off of work so we got to spend some time with him too.

This is Jon blowing up Lydda Grace's float. You really don't have to watch it... this has been posted because we were laughing about how this is a rite of passage for a Dad... so Lydda Grace needs to see this someday :o)

Here she goes!

This is the life!

I can't believe I am actually posting this next video on the internet.... maybe it's because it's 10:30... past my bedtime, and my judgement is impaired. Jon and I "fought" Bekah and Javier in the pool. We lost the first round and our secret plan was for me to "bloop" Bekah (this is a standard family joke/annoyance which consists of poking someone and saying "bloop") until she laughed so hard she fell off. It didn't work.... but it was funny.

We took family pictures on the beach.

Do they look alike or what??!

Friday night Mom, Dad, Jon, Bethany and I went to the Bio Bay (actually a lagoon). Bekah and Javi babysat since they had already been before. It was one of the most amazing things I have ever seen! We kayaked down a mangrove lined creek in the dark... literally... completely dark... it was crazy... to the lagoon. The ecosystem there is such that the plankton glow when the water is disturbed... so when you paddle, or when you stick your hand in the water it sparkles with glowing white dots. Even cooler is that you can see the fish as they are swimming and jumping in the water! This is one of only five places in the world where this ecosystem exists so it truly was a once in a lifetime opportunity. We didn't take cameras on the kayaks so we don't have pictures but the experience was incredible!!

Saturday morning we went for one last walk.

The walk turned into looking for iguanas in the trees. We saw several... Jon took the picture below.

The flight home was blessedly uneventful.
