Red sandy toes

Aloha!

We've gone snorkeling and to the pool! The boys made and brought me breakfast in bed! This IS paradise!

Noah is mumbling tropical paradise...

He is very full and happy!

What is left of my mixed plate

Hmmm, this looks familiar!

If you were to go back to the start of the blog, you might think this was my flight to Barcelona. However, this is my flight to Maui!

Totally freakin awesome!

See more progress on: scuba dive

It's a fake!

The real leaning tower of Pisa- with me holding it. Seeing the tower was amazing!! Something I will always remember.

This is the Leaning Tower of Niles....not the real deal. So, I am working night at the hospital currently and I have been staying in the city on occasion. Staying close allows me to sleep the extra three hours that are lost in transit. I was on my way to at some really horrid motel when I saw the leaning tower of Pisa in the town of Niles, Illinois. http://www.vniles.com/ At first I thought I was just excessively tired and was seeing things. So after some much needed sleep, I went back to see the leaning tower of Niles. From the road it looks good, but when you get up close you can really tell how it differs from the one in Pisa. This one is made from concrete vs Cararra marble. I got out of the car to see if I could climb up it. I would have really enjoyed being able to say that I climbed the leaning tower of Pisa in Italy and Illinois. However, the tower in Niles is a water tower and not open to the public. Bummer.

SCRATCHED!

What do you mean we don't want to be in 6 foot waves for 10 hours? But the fish would get well fed! For all the non-divers, throwing up in the water.

The sea worthy craft of Capt Dale! The Capt can also be found on his website, which I will add when I get home.

Nice platform for diving and ladder for climbing with fins. We are going to reschedule the trip for later in the season and we are going to Pearl Lake to dive instead- we have 8 tanks and a baby sitter, hell yes we are diving today!

Good morning! NOT!!!

My pig tails in my hair pretty much represent how old I feel right now, which is three! It is early, I'm tired and grumpy!

This is the bad man who made me get out of bed, but he did let me have an extra 10 minutes since my dive gear was already loaded into the car. Thanks sweetie!

Only so much rope climbing can be done.

You know he has had fun when he falls asleep on the lawn during the presentation on reptiles, which were being passed through the audience.

Cute but smelly!

Noah is covered with mud and we both smell like sweat and bug spray! Believe it or not, I'm totally in my element. Thank heavens I don't have a girl, I wouldn't know what to do!
