On Wednesday we went Island hopping. It was so much fun and definitely the highlight of our week so far. The girls really enjoyed snorkling and Holton loved swimming with the fish but he was disappointed he couldn't catch one. It was a beautiful day. The water was warm and when we got out of the water we didn't even need a towel because the air was so warm. It started to cool down a little bit (about 27 degrees C) later in the day as the clouds rolled in. It was such an amazing day!
Stopping at a little shop on the side of the road to buy some snacks for the day.

Holton swimming in the ocean!
Everyone swimming and snorkeling except me who was taking pictures. I went in later. The water was so warm!
Some of the fish we saw. They gave us bread to feed the fish and they would come right up and eat it out of our fingers! It was scary at first but really cool!
Holton passed out on the beanbag chair after swimming.
Heading out to the next island.
My favorite shot of the day!
My beautiful girl!

Some locals swimming and waving as we passed by.
A shanty village we saw on the way back to the dock.
Afew minutes down the shore was a brand new hotel. Quite a contrast from the shanty village.
Back at the dock, a group shot with the crew of our boat. The were so great to us. We found out they only make 200 pesos per day which is about $5.
The kids heading back to shore.
Cyril decided to walk back because the water wasn't very deep.
