The kids had a great time. Most of our time was spent at the beach. I'm thinking that's all we did, except putt putt one time.
I didn't know this, but there was a tropical storm brewing south of the island. This caused a pretty strop rip current, unusually high waves and high tide all the time. It was perfect for boogie boarding though. Ricky loves to boogie board, but it's always hard catching that right wave. Not this time though. He had 1 really good day of big and powerful waves. Now that I think about it, it's kind of scary. The currents are really powerful. The worst was when a wave would retreat back to the ocean. You had to dig your fee in and hold on. I have a huge fear of being pulled away from shore. It didn't look like anyone else around me was panicking but I was. Not only did I have to dig my heels into the sand, but I had to hold on to Ricky. One time I didn't have a hold of him but thankfully I did of the boogie board. He's just drifting out there only life support was the boogie board string. We had a lot of faith in it that day. Needless to say. I'm sure if we did get swept away it wouldn't be far and it didn't last long.
After battling the waves for about 2 hours and finding the perfect ones to take Ricky to shore, we finally discovered that because the depth was so unpredictable all over the shore had the best waves. Ricky caught his best waves near the shore. I rode a few and it's definitely a thrill.
What I don't understand with Ricky is that he'll go into the unforgiving and unpredictable beach with sharks, jelly fish and who knows what else. Boogie board all day but refuses to go on rides at water parks. The beach is so much more dangerous. Grrrrrrrrrr frustrating.
Hana had fun playing in the sand and jumping the waves. Babi held on to her the whole time.
We'll make one more trip back this summer. For Ricky's sake I hope he has good waves for boogie boarding, but for my sake I hope there are no waves.
