Today we took the kids out on the floating rings and swimming noodle so they could experience some of the joys of snorkelling! Noah is really good now with using his goggles and looking under the water so he got to see lots of fish, a stingray and coral. It is just incredible what lives under the sea, a whole other living community thriving under water. I just LOVE Coral Bay.

Our good friends Barry and Linda are here also, another reason we love it! Barry and Linda cooked a beautiful dinner for us tonight, roast lamb and amazing potato salad. Possibly the best meal we’ve had since leaving on our trip 🙂 They also gave us MORE presents and spoilt the kids rotten with princess dresses and tiaras, a pirate outfit for Noah plus LOTS of goodies for me! It’s so nice having formed a new friendship on the road.

I am missing home at the moment though, and I know the kids are too. We just have to remember that at home we wouldn’t have Steve around all the time and then we are happy to be away! Ava randomly came out with she wishes she was at kinder with her new friends and she also misses her bed. Noah misses his school friends and routine. And we all miss our family. I asked Noah and Ava today (while we were walking across the road to get a coffee/arvo tea for the kids mind you so we are not doing it tough haha) if they think about Nanny and Pa and they said “every day” 🙂

The photos here are the ones we took today. We are so incredibly blessed to be able to travel and experience what we are as a family. I am thankful each day.
