Everybody paired up in kayaks and took off into the ocean. It was dark outside so we had little glow sticks on our kayaks to make it easier to follow the guy in front of you. We paddled about a half a mile through a tunnel of Mangrove trees to get to the bay. As we entered the tunnel, we noticed that every time our paddles entered the water, the water would light up. It got more and more intense as we continued. We'd put our hands in the water and the water looked like blue neon light. Apparantly there are micro-organisms that have the same properties as fireflies that just light up when the water gets stirred. We all felt like we were in the Avatar movie. It was seriously, the most magical thing I've ever seen!
Anyway, we also enjoyed snorkeling, sailing on a giant sailboat and eating the delicious lunch :), doing sparklers at night and just enjoying being with the whole fam. Thanks Nana and Papa and all our family for such an AMAZING vacation!!!
