Kristi,

I love the back roll into the coffee cup.
That was pitiful of them. But if you had asked me I would have gone.

Hope everyone's Monday goes well.

I hope you all have a great Monday....

Good morning ladies! I had a good Father's Day. I got Guitar Hero III for Wii and the kids took me to breakfast. Later in the day we went to Grandma and Grandpa's house for swimming and dinner. Great day...no pictures.

Kobi, sometimes we are really bad about taking pictures for these things. I know, its not a good thing. I did the crime, I'll do the time.

Linda, I already have Guitar Hero Hand Syndrome. (I just made that up, but seriously, my hands hurt!)

Brad, If you read my entry on today's exercise/diet thread you'll find out where I'm sore today and probably for the rest of the week. Hope it doesn't interfere with our shore dive next Sunday.

Welcome home Kimo. I just read your trip report. Great job! Did you get a chance to see Tribs or Bette on the island? Inquiring minds want to know.

Brad, Whenever you are ready I'm ready for a guitar Hero challenge...Bring it on! I've beat Slash in a battle once by giving him lots of broken strings and Tom Morello is really easy to beat. geez, I hope I never grow up!

PS, BOB, you, your sisters,LMAO!!! the flamingo and BOB, had me rolling!!!

Good morning Kimo, Linda and Kobi, today is the first day of summer vacation for the kids....I'll be joining happy hour very early for a large concoction of Brad's.

We were so wrapped up with our AOW and trying to get as many great dives in as possible that we really didn't get a chance to just slow down and take it all in. I think that is why so many people go back year after year. There is so much to do and see that a week just doesn't allow enough time. We did see Susan at Divi. You can just tell by talking to her that she really loves what she does.

Linda, sorry about the cheek soreness :-) I'm not laughing, really. Just a chuckle though :-)

Kimo, need to go find your trip report.....
You, my friend, are gonna make those of us who have been back...un....UM let's say YEARS, look REALLY BAD, as we haven't done ours LOL!

No mole hunting this past week now it's BUNNIES!!! I swear I never have a dull moment when they're outside!

Kimo,
I totally understand. The first time Terry and I went to Bonaire we would do 5 - 6 dives a day. That is after we discovered people doing dawn dives from the dock at 5:30 am.
1. Dawn dive - breakfast
2. Morning dive #1 - snack
3. Morning dive #2 - lunch & nap
4. Afternoon dive #1 - snack
5. Afternoon dive #2 - snack & dinner
6. Night dive - ZZZZZZZZZZZZ

We slept all the way home, too.

RA, we might just have to battle, I was able to beat slash but had to "wuss out" for Tom Morello. I'm going to go back and beat him though.

Kobi, I know...the whole day I kept thinkin' "where's the camera" and still didn't do anything about it.

Linda, that's just about how we dive too while on island. Although I would like to get in more dawn dives. Oh, and sorry to hear about your injury.

Thanks for the sympathy Brad. I normally handle pain well, butt (ha) this injury is an old nagging one. When it flares up I can't sit for long and quick lateral moves sends bolts of pain. Time for some serious drugs, right?

Kobi, no return trip booked yet but Kelly is talking about moving there.. Linda, that's a lot of dives.. We typically got 3 or 4 in each day. Shore diving is great but after carrying the gear around every day it kinda got heavy. I went to throw my 3 yr old son (Drake)up when I got home and nearly put him through the roof..

LOL Kimo. I bet your son loved that toss. Hope you caught him.
Yes, that's a lot of diving, and that was a few years ago. We've slowed down a bit since then. Still love the dawn and night dives with fewer dives in between.

Did you and Kelly do any night dives? I LOVE them.

We did A night dive and it was very cool.. The coral opens up and it's much more colorful.. The first Tarpon made me go through about 1000psi but after that it was great.

You met "Charlie"! He's quite the scary guy the first time he goes by. He kept eating the fish I was looking at, so I stopped shining my light near them.

Charlie had a couple of friends with him.. There was a photo shootout going on though so we would lead Charlie & co. over to the photographers with our lights and watch their bubbles increase. I was pretty funny

Too funny!
The unexpected is what I like in my photos, too. I took the following photo (film) years ago in Grand Cayman. I took the photo because of the three different color sponges. When I got home I saw something else in the photo.

Well that was a little too small. The Brittle Stars in and out of the sponges are what I didn't notice before.

Jam was good mon:-) I'll try to post pics on facebook later. Highlights:

Canopy Zip Line Tour through a rain forest...AWESOME

Got a ridealong with a remora. After he decided he couldn't get up michael's pants (seriously) he decided he'd ride on my tank for the rest of the dive...he was a cute little bugger! He even waited until I was up the ladder and on the boat before he left....
cynde and the remora
