FIJI TIME!!

So this March my parents took our family to FIJI for vacation again. However, we got to go to a different place....we stayed at the beautiful Matangi Island Resort! It was absolutely amazing! Even though getting there takes so long, once we are there - of course it is so WORTH IT!! I just love FIJI and everything about it! (So here are only a handful of the pictures we took.)

So diving is a great bonus while we are in FIJI! It has some of the best scuba diving in the world! I am so glad that is something that we all like to do together...it's one of my most favorite things to do! So here are some of the pictures we took while diving (only a couple since we took SO many!).
Kyle, Elia - our divemaster, and myself. He was a lot of fun. Like I said all the Fijian people we have ever met are so incredibly happy. We are so blessed to have all we have and it is a very humbling experience to know how others live. I am very grateful to be able to experience both these worlds.

Dive at the "Purple Wall" which was my favorite dive site the whole trip! The purple coral was amazing! We saw so many different things on that dive - not to mention a ton of reef sharks!
Ok so this is my Dad, Moses, and myself. Moses was our divemaster first 4 years ago when we stayed at Wananavu. We went there 2 years in a row so we got to know him really well. Not to mention, he idolized my Dad. It is so funny -- he calls my Dad "Mo Mo Marika" which in Fijian means, Uncle Mark. My Dad loved it! So ironically, this year he lived on the neighboring island to us on Quemea. So we gave him a call after finding out he lived there and he came over and dove with us one day. It was fun to see him and reconnect.

Kyle and I hike up Beverly Hills to go to the Horseshoe Bay lookout. It was so amazing! The water is so clear that we could see lots of fish and we saw 3 different sea turtles surface while p there watching. One of the staff members Marika took us up there.

Mom & Dad - Sure love you guys! xoxo
