Day 5 and 6

Day 5 (Wednesday)... My mom, Hawken, Matix and I went with my friend Liz and her daughter Emmy to a natural hot spring and pool that her brother had found in the middle of the jungle pretty close to our house. It was a short walk from Tina's grocery store down the road, and then onto a trail littered with fruit trees and these trees with crazy ribbon looking roots.

It started out as a rainy day, but once we got to the pool it had cleared up and we got to enjoy the natural hot tub! :) I love Dominica! Thanks Liz for taking us there! We had SO much fun, what a cool adventure.

And of course, Grandma got some good grandson time with both Matix and Hawken.

Emmy let Liz hold Hawken for a little bit too. :)

This is a picture of me with Matix, just after he accidentally went underwater. He came up out of the water looking startled, but okay. I think he is slowly getting used to the idea of going underwater. :)

That afternoon we went to the pool (as usual), but since it was so windy, Hawken and I stayed out while Matix and Grandma swam. Matix had a blast!

Wednesday ended with bed time stories from Grandma. Good day for sure!

Day 6 (Thursday)... We went to Emerald Pool. Yay!! I love Emerald Pool. It is SO pretty.

Matix was mostly excited to go for a ride in Roosie's van! :) Cute boy!

Although the drive there was long, the hike to the falls and pool was short and easy. Here is a quick video of our walk there, and out. Roosie came on our way out to "help"... I think he just misses his grandkids, and Matix doesn't mind being the substitute. :)

On the ride home both boys fell asleep. It was so nice to have mom Mom there, not only for the company and fun adventure, but for the help. :)

That afternoon we got some of the kiddos together from our play group and had a mini Easter egg hunt. It was lots of fun, but I wish more kids could have come! Maybe next time, right? All the kids had fun running around collecting their eggs and eating the candy (of course).

Another busy, but FUN day!
