Aqua Boy



In preparation for our trip back to Hawaii in August, Noah has been practicing his snorkeling. He received his first mask and snorkel for his birthday, and picked it up really quickly... too quickly. I promised him that once he mastered breathing through the snorkel correctly in the tub, we'd hit the pool. It only took one night(beginners luck?)...now I have to make good on my promise and head to the pool. Ick Ick Ick!!!! I don't like swimming pools. Beats swimming in Puget Sound... I suppose. =) Hopefully with enough practice, he will be comfortable enough to venture into the ocean. He is excited to see fish and perhaps a Honu. I'm excited to take him!

As a baby, he was not afraid of the ocean, a year ago during one of our visits, he was so afraid he barely got his toes wet! HA! We'll see what happens in August.

Ummm. Can we come with you?

The snorkle in the bathtub thing is a great idea. Henry turns 5 in a couple of weeks and isn't too keen on the water so the tub is a great place to start!

Noah will be just like his mom and dad in that ocean. How fun you will be able to share stuff like that with him now that he is older!
Remember Brandi had an issue with the fish for the longest time when we lived there? Uhh she is over that and now wants to try surfing this summer in the ocean here, get the wet suit ready, ca ca ca ca cooolllddddd!!!!
