The Malin Family: Day 2 - Afternoon/evening

We took the kids up for lunch and then they wanted to go to Kids Club. I was a little unsure of this before we arrived on Fiji (as I had heard how amazing "kids club" was, but said we wouldn't send our kids there because we would be together the whole time), but it was amazing!!! They did such neat things with them and treated them like their own kids. Our kids begged us to go every day and LOVED it! They even made some friends there during the week. It was like being on an extended family holiday all week. By the end, you felt like you knew everybody and the staff were like family. It was so much more than I had ever expected it to be. Our kids got to do a scavenger hunt this afternoon and whoever won (boys vs. girls) got a free banana boat ride the next day! Well, boys ended up winning (don't worry, we let Grace go with him, too!) ;) They loved it!!

That's me and Lance on the beach (I'm enjoying my chair - ha!)

Josh taught the kids how to snorkel. The snorkeling was amazing and you could do it right off the beach, so it was perfect for teaching them. They both got the hang of it really quickly, but Lance didn't last very long. He got better throughout the week. Josh took Grace out a little farther and she got to see lots of beautiful fish!

Go Lance!

That evening we all showered and got ready for dinner. "Happy Hour" was at 5:30 every day and it was our time to sit at the bar/restaurant, watch the sunset, and use the internet. (It was the only place you could get access.) We uploaded a few photos to FB and answered emails here. We all ate at the BBQ seafood buffet that night (which was really good - the chef on the island was AMAZING!) The food was always wonderful.
