Travel & Vacation: Snorkeling, Starfish, and Fun at Grand Cayman Island

Snorkeling off the coast of Grand Cayman!  The water was a little rough but there were hundreds of little fish!

First we explored Grand Cayman, followed by a relaxing boat ride out to the reef, next we swam with the stingrays (WooHoo, that was super fun!), and now we get to snorkel, hold huge starfish and more!  The kids had a blast at Grand Cayman!  So many neat memories and experiences.  We were running a little tight on time and the waves were a little rougher than normal so we didn’t snorkel for very long.  A couple people ended up getting sea sick with the boat rocking around so much but everyone recovered and were feeling better before too long.

Lots of little fish everywhere.  The kids quickly discovered that when you threw food into the water a whole school of fish would come to get a nibble, it was pretty neat to watch all the little fish scramble as fast as they can for the food!

Nathan’s got a big starfish!

Nicko was super excited to hold the starfish!

Brandon finally warmed up to the idea of holding the starfish by himself and he even liked it!

The “Travel and Vacation” series is an insight into our trips together as a family and ways we relax.  Life is short and we were thrilled to have the opportunity to build memories with family and explore of of the most amazing places during our time away.  Explore with a good attitude, look for fun, and it will be an awesome trip jammed packed with positive memories.  It is refreshing having some time away from the regular routine.  Make it a once in a lifetime opportunity to meet new people and learn.  You just might see or try something new that takes your breath away!
