Snorkeling

Our first adventure on Barbados was a snorkeling trip.  Lee and I snorkeled in Hawaii but it was the girls' first time.  Elizabeth loved it, Emily was a little nervous from time to time.  The water was an amazing color of blue and we saw sea turtles, sting rays, hundreds of different kinds of fish, both big and small, as well as some amazing coral reefs.  In hindsight, we should have purchased a waterproof go-pro, because the girls really wanted to take photos underwater and couldn't.  I think that snorkeling will definitely be at the top of our list next time we take a trip.

Waiting for the bus to pick us up.  It's safe to say that none of our other friends were up this early, but we were a hit when we returned from our adventure and several couples took the same trip the next day.

Crystal blue waters. 

We stopped in a calm bay and swam with sea turtles and sting rays.  Then they put up the sails and we traveled a ways to a coral reef. 

Rihanna's house.  Apparently, this is a complex of $20M condos.  Simon Cowell and a famous footballer from Manchester City also own a condo in this complex. 

These two could have stayed in the water all day. Snorkeling is definitely one of the best things Elizabeth has ever done.
