Trent's First Dive

Yesterday we took Trent to a Bubbler Dive Course. He got to put on dive equipment in a pool at one of the resorts and had a private instructor who taught him how it worked. She also showed him how to take his regulator (breathing apparatus) out of his mouth while he was under so that he could smile for the camera. Then she showed how how to clear his mask incase water leaked in. He did so good!

When he finished, he told us it was the coolest thing he's ever done!! We are hoping to do it again in the beginning of next summer and then after he turns 10, next July, he can take the Jr. Open water course. Until they are 15 or 16 they still have to always go with a Master diver and not past 30 feet deep. We can't wait!!!!

Glad to hear Jace is home and recovering.

Summer 2009 so far.........

Since Trent arrived over a month ago, we have been very busy. For the 4th of July we flew on a small plane to Little Cayman. The population there is only about 100 people, so it was very peaceful and relaxing. Trent loved the small plane and all of the good snorkeling.

Last weekend we went to Dolphin Cove. I am still not convinced that it is "right" to cage dolphins, but after our experience, I am secretly glad they do. It was one of the coolest things I have ever done. I am sure Travis and Trent would agree. They are such smart animals. I hope you enjoy the pictures.

Tonight Travis is taking Trent to see the new Transformers movie tonight. I opted out as they were due for a father/son activity and I am not the slightest bit interested in cartoon robots. Then Sunday is Trent's 9th birthday party on the beach. Yes, we decided to try a beach party again this year. Hopefully the weather will cooperate.

Hope you are all well! Enjoy the pics.
