Our favorite 'Beach day #1' photos ...

On our first day in Bermuda we went to this neat place called Snorkel Park - there was a great beach and it was surrounded by part of the old dockyard wall and rocks so it was a nice calm cove where you could swim or look for fish.

Fish? What kind of fish? Oh it was so cool! We were totally not expecting to see anything so cool, but we were only in the water a few minutes when people started talking about the fish swimming around their legs. We went over to see and we could see all kinds of beautiful tropical fish swimming all around us! They were so pretty and were not at all afraid to swim so close to humans!

The girls were so thankful to have their goggles with them and were soon going all over the place looking for fish. Then we saw some snorkelers going further out to this reef where some of the bigger fish were so Bob took the girls one at a time way out there to check it out. I was so impressed with the girls, they swam SO well and were very brave. It was very far off shore and they couldn't touch the bottom so they had to swim the whole way. And they didn't have a snorkel, only their goggles so they had to keep coming up for air. I didn't even swim out that far because I was a little fearful, but the girls were with Daddy and were so brave!

There was a restaurant and bar on the beach and we sat upstairs overlooking the beach to eat our lunch ... it was awesome! Beautiful view, beautiful breeze, beautiful company ... who could ask for anything more?
The girls and I cooling off in the water ...
Hope, way off shore, swimming with the fish ... and her Daddy!
Enjoying some frozen, fruity drinks - YUM!
Chickens and their babies on the beach!
This is one of my favorite photos!
Leaving the snorkel park the girls 'rinsed off' in these fun sprinklers!

Coming up ... beach day number 2!
