Visitors!

So Kelly's Uncle and Aunt were down visiting the last week. It's been super fun going out for fancy dinners and telling them all about our home here, but I wish I could have had a few days off during the week to go with them on all their adventures. They did and saw almost all there is to see here, including Stingray City, Rum Point, a Helicopter Tour, the Atlantis Submarine, snorkeling at the reef, visiting the beaches, and walking through the Queen Elizabeth Botanic Park, which inhabits the endangered Blue Iguana, only found in Cayman! Before we leave I'd like to do everything again and make sure I have pictures of it all!

Our visitors said the best thing they did was Stingray City, where you get to stand is waist deep water in the middle of the ocean, while wild, 5 feet wide southern stingrays swim around you searching for food. It is definitely a must-do while visiting here. You then get to go to the reef and snorkel while interacting with hundreds of different fish and seeing tons of colorful coral and sea fans.

The activity I'll remember most is diving. There is nothing more relaxing and exhilarating that swimming 100 feet deep while staring at fish, coral, crabs, octopus, lobsters, eels, and turtles. Being weightless and the sound of your breathing makes you feel like your in space. Breathing through your regulator even sounds like your an astronaut (or Darth Vader!). That's a picture of me on the left, and the one on the right is an angelfish, which are my favorite kind of fish to find!

Last night a bunch of us celebrated our friend's graduation from his Masters study in Education. God is so good and saw him and his wife through these last two years as he studied and she took care of him. He worked full time while completing it, so it is a huge load off his shoulders knowing it's finished! They will be moving to Malaysia this summer to take up new teaching jobs there, so we are sad to say goodbye, but they are following God's calling and we are glad for that!

So it was a very good week! Kelly's aunt took a few pictures of Kelly and I at some beautiful places - it's nice to be able to have pictures of both Kelly and I in them! I hope you had a good week too, and don't forget to leave a comment so we know you visited!
