Jerre's Diving

Here are some pictures of Jerre Bontrager scuba diving!  He was a great diver and did a good job getting his certification!  We had a lot of fun and saw some really neat stuff! 

 

This picture through the wreck in the ski boat is a bit blurry,  but it was neat to dive a wreck!

 

 

 The picture below is through a Coral Head.   Jerre swam to the other side so we could get a picture through it!

 

Jerre is doing a back roll into the water from the boat for our first boat dive!

 

Here is Jerre during his certification!  Way to go, Jerre!

Visitors for Thanksgiving

Hello!  Very fun update to the blog after Matt's Parents and Uncle Jerre were out to visit a week ago.  We had such a great time with them and really enjoyed the whole week so much.  It was very hard to see them go, but are so thankful we were able to share Thanksgiving with them and the week that we had.  The pictures below highlight some parts of the trip.  There will be another blog coming with pictures of Jerre scuba diving!

 

 

This is a picture from where we had lunch the first day they arrived!  We ate at the yacht club and enjoyed overlooking the blue water as we ate!  They were excited to be done traveling after the days they spent in planes and hotels!

 

 

At the time of this picture, these were the three best looking guys on the beach!

 

We had dinner on the beach one evening, and these pictures are from Mindi and Sue walking the beach before the sunset!  It was a very calm and pleasant evening!

 

Matt tried to grill our supper on the beach this night, but he didn't have quite enough charcoal so here he is trying to figure out how to get some more heat to finish cooking the burgers. 

 

 

Here is the sunset from the evening we grilled out on the beach

 

We got plenty of biking in!  Mindi and Sue are out in front biking along the ocean front at North Point! 

 

This week was also Turkey bowl, which is like homecoming week.  There is a lot things that go into it, but it culminates in a big program where students and teachers perform.  In the school there is a group of boys that have a dance group that is really popular and they did a performance for the school.  After they were done Mindi had organized a group of teachers to challenge them in a dance off and it was a huge hit as some of the teachers did a dance off with their group.  The whole school was screaming and it was awesome!

 

Here are Mom and Dad on the beach after their last snorkel

 

We got in a lot of snorkeling, and here is Mom swimming over the reef! 

 

Here is Matt and Mindi out snorkeling with Lynn and Sue.  We had a lot fun looking for interesting Sea Creatures!

 

What a great week we had and we are so thankful mom and dad and Jerre were able to come out!  Hope that everyone's thanksgiving was great!
