Snorkeling in Honduras

Another family favorite (besides food:)) on the Cruise was snorkeling in Honduras. The water was super clear and seriously beyond description. I got an underwater camera before we left hoping to capture the beauty but sadly the colors are muted terribly:( So just imagine the most vibrant colors in these pictures and you will at least get a taste of what we experienced!
So we weren't sure if the kids would like or be able to snorkel so a few months back we bought them their own snorkeling gear to practice. They practiced a few times but it really didn't seem to take... we were a bit nervous they might hate it! Well at least Abby, Greg and I liked it:) She was in heaven. She would live in an aquarium if she could so you can imagine her excitement. Now Reese was not so into it. He can swim great but he kept sucking in salt water and kept having to come up for air. He cried a few times but then just headed to shore and hung out there and watched us. Thankfully the guy working there at Half Moon Bay was kind enough to put Reese in a canoe and bring him out to where where we were exploring...it was perfect! We ended up snorkeling for over 2 hours and the only thing that stopped us was our growling bellies!
Like I said I really wish these pictures were better but at least we got some to remember the great time we had!
We snorkeled again in Cozumel but there was no comparison--Honduras was far better but we all still enjoyed the adventure. We all plan on snorkeling again in the future and hope to all get certified to scuba dive one day....wouldn't that be the best family activity EVER???:) Next will be sky diving...haha!


Getting ready to go for a swim...Reese wasn't having it!

Abby took this picture. Not too clear but you can see the fish if you look close

Ready to go!

Love this picture...we had so much fun!

Abby and Reese and Greg in the back ground:)

Me in action...so fun!

Ok so imagine with me here. Notice those BRIGHT blue fish. There were over a thousand and I am serious...it was crazy cool! I was able to follow them around for a long time and even reach out and touch them! We will never forget it!

Our memory of Reese --ABOVE the water:( poor guy maybe next time he'll like it!

Abby exploring her brains out--ha! Right after this she saw a sting ray and she freaked out! She swam to the surface and jumped in Reese's boat, Reese was happy to have a friend:) Greg and I didn't go for the boat...we went looking for the sting ray! :) We never saw him:(

Greg took this of me as I was chasing after that school of fish
