Whales , Whales!

What can I say, we had a " Whale of a good time!" the humpbacks are so beautiful!! I was so cool to be in the water with them, "singing" away. They sound so beautiful! and the water was warm!
Emma was so excited she said " mommy she was talking to me!" unfortunetly , they didn't stay still for us to really get close, the one that was still stayed down quite deep, still it was so cool!! I will go again, and because we got such a deal ,we will. Maybe when Malachi gets here. Tonga is the only place that you can swim with them in the world .Our guide was excellent- he dwas a very stong swimmer and pulled me through the water like I was nothing , You have to swimm very fast. and he took great care of Emma.
We saw their heads even on the surface. that was neat. hard to get pictures though, just keep snapping away. Dave on O"vive took some video , I look forward to seeing that. hopefully I can link that to here.


We even went swimming into an underwater cave. Steve and I didn't go in, I float to much and Steve doesn't like caves so much. Kyle and Maya both went in though. Our guied helped Maya , you have to dive down about 6 ft and then swim in about 6ft. me scared! I was even nervous of the kids doing it , but they were fine.

Ps - we are one day ahead of you all, today is Friday September 19- another glorious day in paradise. Steve is off to work , he has a lot of boats wanting help - yesterdays whale event was even paid for because he sold 2 tiller pilots. yeah, for Steve!!
