Jomabo Beach 2010!

 The first weekend I got back to the Philippines we took off for the beach! Kind of a vacation from the Vacation type of thing. We need some relaxing family time together to help the kids and I unwind after the brutally long trip over. We went with our friends the Beatties. It was about an hour drive and then a half hour boat ride out to this tiny Island, made of sand, in the middle of the ocean! The kids were pretty excited on the way over........

This is a picture, from the boat, of our first glimps of the Island......

Here is the House we rented for our family. It was so nice! Two bedrooms, kitchen, living room and bathroom all for us! It was so great......Also the Island was so small there wasn't a resturant on it so we had to bring a cooler and a food box for the weekend. It was nice tho. No gathering everyone up to go and sit down and eat somewhere. We mostly just snacked a lot and then had dinner....perfect!

We pretty much had the whole Island to ourselves....The kids loved playing in the sand.

 When the tide went out we had such fun exploring around. We found all sorts of fun sea things......

 The water was so shallow forever.......here is lance and the kids.

 We met this old Philipino Man out digging for treasures.....He proudly showed us his best find for the day. An Octopus!! craziness....

 There were lot's of cool shells....

 Lance and Ryan spent some time burying the kids in sand.

 Lance Relaxing in the shade for a minute along the nice quiet beach.

 We found lot's of these cool sand dollars.

 We took this little tractor type thing for a burn...however we didn't stay out on the water for too long because we were the ones getting burned! The sun was so hot!

 We are quite spoiled out here. The Philippine oceans are so warm! The kids play and play in them with out ever complaining. Here is Scarlett enjoying the water.

 Just three little heads out there playing, laughing and giggling till the sun goes down! They had a BLAST!

 Isabelle had quite the sun burn by the end of the weekend. She said to me...mom I think my teeth are sun burned! I honestly did put sunscreen on her constantly but it's really hard to say on top of the burning sun.....after 3 days of it...I lost and the sun won!

WE had such a great time together as a family and with our friends. We played cards, sun tanned. I read a good book. Can't wait to do it again soon :)
