Snorkeling in Cozumel

This was one of our favorite experiences from our recent vacation to Mexico. The water was warm and super clear. What an amazing feeling to be down in another world with so many colorful fish and sea creatures. Ben dove down deep to get some amazing pictures of the reefs.

In the picture below, you can see a huge school of fish. The diver is surrounded by thousands and thousands of fish. I have never seen such a large school of fish.

Later, from the ninth deck of the cruise ship, Ben and I saw schools of flying fish, plus a gigantic fish, and even a sea turtle! It was absolutely fascinating seeing a small part of the sea life of the Caribbean.

Eli's First Steps

Yes, Eli took his first steps. Guess whom he walked to first. Or should I say what- sadly, Eli's first steps were to the dishwasher, which he loves to climb into. The footage below was taken right after his first steps to the dishwasher. Since then he has been braving more steps, more often. He has walked to both of us numerous times, although his preferred method of travel is still crawling (much faster = more damage in less time). He will be walking in no time. Uh Oh!
