Tuesday, Turtles and tots

This morning Nelson, Michael, David and I played shuffleboard and ping pong. Then we watched a coconut being husked and cut open. We drank the milk and dipped slices of coconut in chocolate syrup. Then we went and rented scuba equipment to go off on our own to scuba dive, no guide, Nelson was being brave. Well, it was fabulous even though there was a red flag on our beach today. We dove off the beach right here at Napili Kai. It was fun to go as fast or slow as we wanted and swim any direction we wanted. Sometimes guides can be control freaks and I didn't even realize it until now. We saw sea urchins, coral, Humuhumunukunukuapua'a, Moorish Idol's, pufferfish, parrotfish, triggerfish, butterflyfish and...a turtle! The turtle came out from under some coral and actually swam towards us and then up to the surface and back. He was only about 5 feet away from Nelson. It was really fun! Then the kids had McDonalds and watched a movie in the room and the grown ups went out for dinner. The sunset was really pretty. Another day in paradise...
