Dominican Republic: 10/15/18

Today was another fun excursion day.... CARIBBEAN PIRATES! We were excited as this would be Sadie and Emery's first experience with snorkeling. With a Dad and Mom who love scuba diving, we were anxious to see if they would enjoy. You pack up on a boat and sail to 2 spots: one where you get out and snorkel with fish and other small things, and another that has Nurse Sharks and Sting Rays. While on the boat, they have really fun and interactive pirate shows with fights and such. Those were a lot of fun! My favorite pirate was the drunk who always had a bottle of rum in his hand, ha! Okay, so the girls... they weren't huge fans of the snorkel and masks (Emery more than Sadie), but they braved the choppy waters anyways with minimal whining. One of the guys found a clam for the girls to take home at the first stop. They sure talked about all the things they saw like they were 100% brave and like there was no whining at all (haha). So back on the boat ride home the Pirates started involving some of the ladies in dancing. I was chosen by one of the pirates and poor Emery was DISTRAUGHT over this. When I got back to her she was just balling crying that she didn't want me to be a pirate. Poor girl thought I was going to leave them to be a pirate forever, LOL. Here are some pics from Caribbean Pirates:

After we returned from the pirate ship, we got home, changed and went straight to our Italian dinner.
