By the third day of our vacation we were starting to settle in and get used to the pace of the resort.  Melanie and Andrew spent most of the morning at Kid’s camp while we went out on the dive boat for our first taste of the local coral reefs.  Although the dive was rather chaotic (~15 divers in one large group, many of whom were relatively new divers), we were pretty happily surprised by the quality of the reef and the prospects for diving looked good!  So good in fact that I decided to go for a night dive later that day.  I won’t get into many details of either dive either other than to say that the reef was alive with fish, rays, lobsters, and other reef creatures, and that Chaos reigned during the actual dive…  The highlight of the day of diving was a playful turtle that the group got to follow for quite awhile!

The kids did very well at camp and we were happy that it was working out for them.  Melanie got to do lots of crafts, go swimming, and meet up with a regular stream of Sesame Street characters every day.  Andrew spent lots of time sleeping while at the nursery.  On this particular day he slept for over 3 hours, and he wasn’t there for much longer than that!

We met up with Melanie while she was baking cookies with Cookie Monster!  When that was over we went for a quick lunch and then spent the rest of the afternoon at the beach.  We had a late dinner together after my night dive, and then in our typical fashion we retired to our patio for dessert and drinks before going to bed.  Another wonderful day in Paradise!
