Bora Bora Report 5

So, today's activities included snorkeling, laying on the beach, snorkeling, eating breakast and lunch, laying on the beach, applying the 1.5 gallons of sunblock to my body, sitting on our deck, emailing.... and sitting on the beach. By the way... "sitting on the beach"means sitting 4 feet from the water and then going and dipping in the 80 degree water everynow and then.

Ok, for my kids...

So your mom and I were swiming on the reef when i noticed something move on top of a piece of coral. I swam over to it and it disappeared inside the coral. So I went over and looked into the hole and could finally see what it was. It was a big octopus. I am guessing taht it was 5 feet across, but it is tough to tell. As we watched it, it kept changing colors. Then i tried to get it to come out by pulling on it with a stick (i just wanted your mom to see it better). That made the octopus a little mad and it first blew a bunch of water at me really hard, then it grabbed my stick and tried to take it away. We never did get it to come out, but it was really cool.

Then, as we were swimming away........... more tomorrow!

"Hello mom and daddy, that was a good one. I love you and I miss you. On Saturday night, I bonked my dead tooth on Avery's head. And she did not cry, I cried and it bleeded and it bleeded a lot. We went to the bathroom and I had a shower, and when I got out, I thought of pulling my tooth out, and I pulled it out."

Hi mom and dad, I hope you have a nice day. That was a big octopus, you will come home soon. And their were bubbles in church, and the kids catching them, and I was bumping them, and then one did not pop. It was right on my hands, and then it popped. Goodbye!

Avery is sucking on a blue kool-aid drink.
