Wednesday

Wonderfully mellow day today — we woke up to beautiful Belizean sunshine and had nothing specific to do. The boys saw a few iguanas running around and decided to run outside to have a closer look.

The neighbors

Every time one would run under a bush, Ezra would wave and say, “Bye! Thanks for visiting us!”

At 9:00 we ran an errand (walked to the Mata Grande Grocery — a one room grocery store up the road) and then the boys and Erin hit the pool. It was truly lovely here today, a welcome change after the clouds and storms of the first couple of days.

Get in the pool!

It's sunny!

The boys had a two-hour plus morning swim, then a break for lunch and rest, then another hour in the pool this afternoon. I decided on a quick dinner for them of pasta, watermelon and olives (which they inhaled, begging for seconds) and after a couple of books and snuggle songs they were both out like lights. It was 6:40. I love vacation.

Oh, and this is a picture I took last night. When I came downstairs to go to bed, I found these two lovely boys in the most angelic position. So sweet.
