"The sea, once it casts its spell, holds one in
its net of wonder forever."—Jacques Cousteau

Dec. 20 - Fun on the Island

"The sea lives in every one of us." –Robert Wyland 

Life on our private island was pretty nice. Anything we wanted or needed the staff took care of. We were pampered all week long. The island was full of iguanas…they liked when the sun came out as much as we did. Graham asked one of the staff if people ate iguanas, when he found out they did, he wanted to try one. The next day we had iguana for lunch. Our chef Alex said he had never cooked iguana before but he cooked it in a stew for us that was surprisingly good. 

We entertained ourselves by eating, drinking, putting together puzzles, playing games, eating, drinking, swimming, snorkeling, paddle boarding, kayaking and more eating and drinking. The kids entertained each other and gave the parents a lot of time to relax. 

In the evening after dark Graham organized games like capture the flag, perimeter, cops and robbers and hide and seek. Even the adults had a great time.

The girls loved taking a ride on the kayaks and paddle boards.
Even the bigger kids just rode...no paddling. 
Paddle board time.
Pool time.
Papa Faj taught the littles how to snorkel.
Corn hole by the pool.
There was a puzzle on the table the whole time we were there.
Bryt and CeCe were the giant Jenga champs.
Lots of card games...the new one being called Sets.
Playing pool was fun for everyone also.
When the kids went to bed the adults played a game called fish bowl.
Just a few of the iguanas on the island.
