NATURE! at it's Dominican finest...

I have to credit Dave with this picture- the crab was in a stream and Dave valiantly chased it and got this AMAZING picture!
one of the many lizards on the trail

a fun lizard- I love their little patterns on their skin

Dave loves Dominica!

hiking down.
more hiking ...

loving the Pool.


Dave with one of his MANY island catches.



Brave Dave :)

look at him go.
He looks like a monkey.






he didn't belly flop- he is free falling though!

The Brave men of Bense Pool!

Look at the fearless Jason!
other side- yet still fearless!

I love my strong husband!


planning their attack...

I love this picture- aren't they so amazing?!

Bense Pool!

Bense Pool was very pretty- but I didn't love the hike in.
Here is the hike in- yes- straight down and consequently, later- straight up.

thanks Jason and Dave for carrying Emmy the whole way!


My cute husband! Eating Emmy's bink- of course he is.


Emmy can sleep anywhere!




Dave at #1 Beach.

Dave was so happy to be there!
this is where Pirates 2 was filmed- Johnny Depp ran down this beach with the natives chasing him.
cool huh!
Gorgeous!- both Dave and the beach.

I don't know what this look means- but I thought it was so cute I didn't know what to do!
She is such a sweetheart.

Check out her cork screw curls!


so fun!



I love her little ringlets- they just do that. someone the other day asked if I curled her hair with a little curling iron- Ha!

Champagne Bay- fun!

Fish are friends!
this is why they call it champagne bay...

look at the bubbles!


It's from thermal activity underground or something- it was neat!



The Hugest sponge!

World Record Snapper!

So, we were driving through a little town and look what we saw!
This fish was HUGE!
It was cute- the guy has obviously never taken pictures with a fish before- he had no idea how to hold it for the camera :)


Let's just say, Dave almost wet himself.


yes, it is bigger than Emmy- HUGE-




Our Dinner- yep it's true!

check out the eyes... wow.
the johnny cakes that we got with the fish.

the whole meal...$33.00 EC.


Emmy waiting for the fish and Johnny cakes- she was very hungry.

Scottshead- very pretty.

here we are at Scottshead- it was very pretty and clear and cool- but I was glad that we combined it with Champagne Bay.
Gorgeous! I love the palms!

Dave scared a puffer and made it explode- sad! Jason thought it was funny-of course he did.


the Carribean Sea!




on the left is the Carribean Sea and on the right is the Atlantic Ocean.
