The busy days continue…..Day 6 is supposed to be a ‘down’ day…we’ll see. Today, we were up early, again, to head over for our activities. Suzanne, and Kevin, went zip-lining. They had a blast, but, since I wasn’t there, there won’t be much coverage here.
Fric and Frac weren’t old enough for zip lining, so, we had to do something else. The zip-line was at Piiholo Ranch…..which also had horseback riding.
While both boys had fun, Christopher definitely had the most fun, and is already talking about doing this again (summer camp!). The boys ended up with horses much like themselves, mostly nice to each other but every once in a while can act out towards the other…Christopher’s horse, Dino, reached out to bite Matthew’s horse, Diaz, once or twice. You can see the wrangler next to Matthew above; she spend a lot of time making sure the boys were ok and doing well, and I certainly appreciated that.
Christopher, with Dino.
Matthew, with Diaz.
My horse, Blackjack. Did exactly what I expected him to do; he’s done that tour about a thousand times and just placidly walked along and did what he needed to do.
Came back to the hotel in the afternoon and headed out to the beach…..walked a little to the west of the hotel where the beach isn’t so rocky so close to the shore. Surf is still pretty rough and the current is strong; a lot of pull out with the receding surf until the next wave hit and pushed you back in.
didn’t want me to take his picture
I had a blast with Kevin this afternoon getting tossed around by the waves and digging into the sand with our arms trying to stay on the beach as the surf would pull us back (you couldn’t stay there, no matter how hard you tried…). Christopher and Kevin would get tripped by me, and would trip me, and loads of laughs and giggling would ensue.
King of the Boogie Board. We were at the beach for two hours and I don’t think I interacted with Matthew very much at all; he was always nearby, on the board, while I was falling and playing in the surf with Christopher and Kevin.
Coming Attractions: Need to try and get some more video edited and uploaded; have some really good panoramas as well as hike and horse video…..but tomorrow is our day-long snorkel cruise, so, our fingers are crossed that the cruise will be a success!
