Shelling 
On lunch duty
He doesn't look too happy about it
Crabbing
Look at Mouse's tummy. She obviously had a big lunch
This sea urchin that the kids found was delicious.
Fire in the sky: a spectacular sunset
It's amazing what happens when a family is thrown into small, confined spaces. After many months we are back on the boat for the weekend in Subic so the children can traipse on the beach, swim, and go shelling and crabbing. It was very relaxing, no agenda, no cell phone signal, no wrist watches, no curfews, no nothing. There was just the wide, open beach, which was empty except for us, the sunset cruise, and the tiny space that we had to park ourselves every in night, in very close proximity to each other. We were so physically close for 48 straight hours that I noticed new nicks and cuts on their skin, noticed new habits and quirks, read over their shoulder as they buried their noses in their books, watched their favorite cartoon, "Bakugan," and literally felt their breath each time they exhaled. I smelled their smells and picked their brains. What could possibly be better than this?
