Now THAT's a hazard! |
He even learned how to line up his stance and putt. They had a great time.

After a short nap, we went to snorkel with the Manta Rays at night, considered one of the top vacation things to do in the world.
These 8-20 foot stinger-less rays swoop and somersault as they scoop up and filter plankton lit up by dive lights. Bix snorkeled around the bay while Dad, Mom, and Brooke hung on to a floating ladder/raft as one 8-foot ray swooped inches from us.
After about 10 minutes Brooke got scared and wanted to go back to the boat, but not before the Manta swooped a little too high, nailed the ladder, and hightailed it out from under the structure just past us.
Momma's bruise - it's even worse now! |
The Manta returned, but Mom and Brooke went to the boat and did not. Mom got a halacious bruise on the inside of her thigh - either from the darting ray or from another spectator kicking her - it swole up huge and was about a 8"x5" bruise the next day.
Nonetheless, everyone thought the Mantas were awesome and everyone but Brooke is ready to go back and do it again.
