Playing Hooky

Tammy called in the morning and asked if we wanted to play hooky for the day. Since breakfast was nearly over, and we had no one checking in.....we took the bait.

The kids are out of school this day for countrywide elections, so Faith and Kellyn went along. Jeannie was a little under the weather, so she couldn't make it, but the girls, Tammy, Rene, and both of us hit the water for a little fun.

Faith looks happy to be out of school and on the water

Kellyn looks the same.....

After seeing Joe Chung's "barracuda face" pictures, Renita got the girls to try it.

We moored out at Hol Chan and watched all the boatloads of people snorkeling...Renita decided to get in too...

She's coaxing the girls in, after seeing a couple of sharks swim by, they were a little hesitant. The next six or seven photos show their timid tries to get in the water.

Almost in!!!

Albeit brief, they did both get in the water!

They got a little cat nap on the way to Caye Caulker

This looks like it is a funny story

She's thinking...........

We found a starfish munching on a dead fish at the cut

As you can tell, they didn't have ANY fun!

It was a fun day.....we ran into a ten minute squall out at the reef, but it wasn't enough to get our towels wet.

Now why would I want to be in the snow and cold? Right, I wouldn't!!!!
