I made the kids wake up at 6 am so we can see the sunrise and go for a little walk.IMG_0988

The sky, the ocean and the sand looked like lavender pastel water color panting.  It was absolutely breathtaking.

We stood together looking at the water and talked about how ocean is like arms of God and that God’s love for us is bigger than the ocean…

“How high and how wide, how deep and how long, how sweet and how strong is Your love…”

Our next stop is the secluded beach called Bambarra. Once again we were the only people on the beach.DSC_7081

Kids and I snorkeled here. We didn’t see any fish but we found beautiful sea shells and corals.DSC_7086 DSC_7088 DSC_7091 DSC_7093 DSC_7096 DSC_7099 DSC_7103 DSC_7105 DSC_7110 DSC_7118 DSC_7120 DSC_7122

I went all the way about a quarter of a mile out and the water only came below my waist. I felt like I was standing in the middle of the ocean. Shane was the reason I didn’t go further. He was worried about me and kept shouted, “Mommy, come back! Mommy come back!” Sweet son, looking out for his mommy. 🙂DSC_7127 DSC_7129

Look what I found.DSC_7130
