I’m all worn out from spring break. It’s been a fun week of play, but I’m not going to be ready for early wake-ups and after-school activities come Sunday.
Josh had one day off this week and we spent the day visiting Al Dar island with friends who hadn’t been before. As people get ready to move, there are a few “must dos” before leaving the island, and this is one of them. We got together a group of 6 families — a whole bunch of kids.

the water is still pretty cold (not Pacific Ocean cold, but cold for here)
The kids ran and played with friends all day.
My face has gotten enough sun damage for a lifetime — floppy hat for me.
This was our day — on the beach.
beachside food and drink service too

and collected shells
After lunch the kids wanted to rent kayaks and boats.
The littles loved the playground
Carter found crabs along the shoreline
more crabs!
We stayed until sunset and then headed home
Every time we go we say, “We should do this more often!” I’m glad we have more time.
On our way to the boat we came across these guys who were shucking oysters and looking for pearls.
they found one!
Bye-bye Al Dar!
