Great Birthday - 16

Had a wonderful birthday today! Thank you for all the birthday wishes! We started by sending an exploration out to shore. Not much was found besides an old TV and a run down outrigger, but it was a wonderful walk to a small, bird-infested motu. 

During the kids "quiet time" the adults made a run for the dinghy and shot out to the pass for some diving. We heard rumor that there were 100-year-old shipwrecks right outside the pass so, of course, that was the first place we went. Although we didn't find a full shipwreck, we were able to dive on a few scattered engine parts. 

The awesomeness intensified when a mother and baby humpback whale decided to swim by. We later stopped by shore one more time to meet the locals and they quickly whipped together a beautiful shell necklace as a gift. 

We have a volleyball game planned for tomorrow. Yes! Mama had delicious pizza ready by the time we got home. Just as I thought the day was coming to an end, another local from across the lagoon shows up with a couple of coconut crabs. We top off our already stuffed bellies, finishing off a perfect day. 

Excited for more fun filled plans for tomorrow!
