Tom's Visit: River Tubing

Sorry for the unexpected interruption to the blog with our "Dominica vs. Michigan" decision & Kyle's injury! He is doing so much better, though not back up to 100%. The whole thing has been just a big pain in the neck for him - literally! But now we can get back on track - and sorry for the delay in telling you about some of these things that may have happened weeks ago.

So, trekking down the side of a cliff to get to a waterfall that fell onto the beach of the Atlantic Ocean wasn't the only thing we did when Tom came to visit! On Saturday, we took him to go river tubing. As some of you may remember, Kyle actually planned this trip as part of my Valentine's Day present, so I was very excited. About 15 of us grabbed our safety helmets and life jackets (completely unnecessary and smelly) and tubed down the longest river in Dominica. Some parts were rough but most of the time it was smooth sailing as we kicked up our feet and floated along!


Kyle helping Sean out... We joked because Kyle put about the whole bottle of sunscreen on his back. He really didn't want him to get burnt!



And we're off! (That's me in the middle!)

All Three of Us! (I tried to sneak in!)


Part of the group, taking a break to swim in the freezing cold water!

Time to head home!!


And of course, we couldn't let him leave without spending a day at the beach close to our apartment. I came a little later, and found Kyle and Tom marking crab holes with sticks and launching rocks at them when they decided to pop out. Boys will always be boys, no matter how old...

Their new friends, the crab & starfish.
