Vacation in the Bahamas

Matt's parents are wonderful people who happen to have a rental home in Green Turtle Cay. We met up with them for some fun in the sun.

Our time was filled with beaches and water... and beaches and water... it was delightful!


The local wildlife! A nurse shark was stalking my father-in-law as he walked along the shoreline. 


We went on a fishing adventure that led us to a beautiful beach. The local sting rays, sharks and turtles recognize the boat we were riding on and came a swimmin' as soon as they noticed us pull up. It was incredible to get in the water with these animals and have them swim right up to you.


Caleb wasn't even a little scared. It took me longer to let these guys come close. 


The turtles were pretty amazing!


The sharks were breathtaking! I have always had this strange love affair with sharks. I am terrified of them yet I love them! It's weird I know.



We also spent some time snorkelling and enjoying island life. Naturally we had to climb a tree for our family picture. 


Looks like it was orange shirt day... did you get the memo? I love orange on little boys and it's such a fun summer colour! 



As an early birthday gift, my mother-in-law paid for us to go paddle boarding for a couple hours while she watched C. Talk about a relaxing experience! Wow! Now all I need to do is save up a random $1,000 to buy my own! Any generous reader want to buy me one?


On Green Turtle Cay, everyone gets around on golf carts. Well there are a few cars on the island but mostly everyone drives golf carts! It's so much fun! I just have to remember to drive on the left side of the road!


This is the view from the beach right behind my in-laws' house! What a way to spend some free time eh! God is so good to us! Thank you to my in-laws for meeting us down South and being so hospitable!
