Boys on the boat

We went out on the boat this morning.  It was such a great time! My older son and I snorkeled all over the reef!  He was such a sponge - asking what every fish was and so genuinely excited to soak up everything.  His favorite sightings were the school of barracudas and the spotted moray eel.  Meanwhile my younger son got "whale rides" on his Daddy's back and rode in the blow-up boat while Daddy towed him around the reef.  It was one of those days where you look up in the sky, throw your arms out, and say "Seriously? THANK YOU!" and just feel gratitude flowing out of you....  I'm sure my face cracked from all the smiling.  I've been dreaming of this day to be able to snorkel with my kids and husband on the reef for a long time.  :)  I snuck this shot of my sons on the bow of the boat as we were getting ready to drive back home.  They were both happy and exhausted; my baby boy just reached over to kiss and hug his brother, and I caught it!  Their bond makes me melt...
