Our Cook'n friends really enjoyed Ocean World. McCall and his family loved the aviary!
Little Emmalyn is so cute. She loved feeding the birds.
The cable car ride was really fun.
We piled into the cable car and enjoyed the ride up the mountain.
The views were spectacular and the ride up was super fun.
When we reached the top, we were on the highest point of the whole island.
You could see everything! It was really cool!
We got our gang together for a photo on the edge of the world!
We went for a nature hike at the top of the mountain that was really neat. We crossed this cool bridge. It was a fun adventure.
Shannon and Jim snapped some photos while they were in the city. Even a trip through the city was a fun adventure.
You never know what you're going to see!
While giving out gifts, a guy came riding by on a horse. I asked him if my boys could go for a quick ride. He was more than happy to oblige. The boys loved it!
The exciting adventures of the day took their toll on the boys. They all crashed in the back of the van!
We wanted to go Kite Surfing. It looked like great fun! But, apparently, it takes about 12 hours of lessons to be able to do it. We'll have to do this next time.
Ocean World is right next to our resort. It's within walking distance. It's just like Sea World in the States...except that you have the park practically to yourself...AND...if you stay in our Villa, you get to go there for free!
The Otter and Sea Lion Show was just like the one at Sea World...except in broken English.
Now that's a big Sea Lion! And...he's smiling!
Now he's sticking out his tongue!
Brennah's thinking
"is he giving me a kiss...or is he about to bite me?!"
The kids got to pet a dolphin!
Then they swam with dolphins!
Then they kissed the dolphins!
Brennah...sweet 16 and never been kissed...till now!
They performed with dolphins!
They even got a dolphin ride!
It was SO cool!!
The dolphin push was super fun!
The dolphins were definitely a highlight!
We got to see a white tiger. It was HUGE!
We even got to feed the tiger!
We held exotic, tropical birds.
My brother and his family came with. They volunteered to swim with sharks.
This is the shark tank.
This is the trainer trying to convince the kids that the sharks won't eat them.
The kids are swimming in the shark tank!
Can you believe it? So...thrilling!!!
Just before the kids swam with the sharks, they took us below the tank to explain a few things. Everyone was really nervous about getting into the water with the sharks!
The kids got to hold the sharks on their lap and feed them.
The sharks suck the food into their mouths with startling speed!
This is a video of the kids swimming with the sharks. Yikes!!!
We had a hard time getting good photos of the kids snorkling in the ocean but we got some good photos of them snorkling in this huge tank!
This was a special snorkling adventure with some amazing corals and fish.
The kids loved it!
So fun!
The kids got to swim with and feed manta rays too. Apparently, one of them started sucking on my brother's toe. They kept swimming into him and knocking him over! It was thrilling for them and very entertaining for us to watch!
We went on a hike to see the 27 Water Falls...
This vine was so huge it was like a natural swing!
We secured our helmets...
...and then we jumped down the water falls into pools of refreshing water!
We swam from one water fall to the next...
In some cases, we slid down natural water slides
I had to tell the kids that these waterfalls were not man-made. They were God-made!
It was so fun!
What a waterfall adventure this was!
This was definitely MORE than we bargained for.
What a great family time!
We caught lizards...
"Kiss the lizard Brennah!"
Isn't he perty!!
We found chickens too.
"Kiss the chicken Brennah!"
The baby chicks were so cute. This sure beats sitting home playing on the iPad!
Seeing a guy running down the road with a cow on a rope is something you don't see everyday...so I filmed this. So interesting to be in a foreign country!
