Day 171

T minus 9 days before we fly home. Today was our last day in the Yucatan. We fly back to the city we are living in tomorrow.

My oldest son woke me up at 7am and was excited to tell me that he and his mom were fishing. That confused me so I went out to the beach. It was sunrise and the water was as still as a lake. We can walk out into the ocean a couple hundred yards. As Bonnie walked out about twenty feet, she noticed fish everywhere. I walked out and saw hundreds of fish swimming all around us. At one point a school of fish swam between my legs, there must have been a few hundred. It took my breath away. The kids had the time of their lives watching the fish swim around them and nudge them.

Bonnie snorkeled in the ocean for an hour and then came in to make breakfast.

After breakfast, the kids played in the pool from 10am until 8pm. We stopped for lunch and dinner. But the kids made today count.

Our youngest finally started loving the swimming pool. He has been dunking his head in the pool all day. But his hair is so long it gets messy all over the goggles he likes to wear.
