snorkel date

as many of you know, i'm not home in canada, and me and the boys will be here for about 2 months.....leaving dust in statia all alone :( we are missing him like crazy, but lucky for me, we got a little date in before i left!

 

dust asked cara (who i love forever and ever for giving us afternoon away - just us) to watch the boys and got our snorkel gear ready, and we had a little statia date for the afternoon! it was so fun! we ate at The Golden Era, and we were pleasantly surprised. we didn't ask about what the burgers were made of, but we knew that no one we knew of had gotten sick by eating there before, so burgers and fries it was! we were right by the ocean, and we watched the crawfish wandering around on the rocks below us. the food was good, and it was just so nice to be just the 2 of us again for a few hours :)

next, dust re-taught me how to snorkel, and it was AMAZING! i love snorkelling and love that we have the gear and the ocean at our fingertips. the water was perfect and clear and calm, and we had so much fun trying to find cool things to look at. dust dove down and got a starfish, and we saw lots of cool coral and fish on our little adventure. we collected some seashells for beckam's collections and just floated around and relaxed a little before hiking home. it was sooooo what we needed before being apart for so long and just a perfect afternoon on statia :)

 

p.s. i never thought i would go snorkelling on a date, and i'm just so thankful for and amazed at our little life over here. still hasn't sunken in that we live here and that this really is our little life!
p.p.s. i just realized that this is the 1st picture of just me and dust over here. guess we need more dates so we can take more pics!
