So, this isn't exactly the terrain, but just imagine that those are seabirds and they're flying over the ocean. There's no need for a scarecrow. Just imagine how it feels to nap with the sound of the ocean waves and a lovely breeze. The birds are chirping and you're surrounded by fluffy bunnies. You don't have on pirate boots, but you do have on a piratey head scarf. Actually, the more I look at this picture, the more ridiculous it seems, but as I was lying in the hammock looking for a good blog pic, I really could relate to this pirate kitty in his peaceful slumber, being surrounded by birds and flowers and bunnies. So lovely. Well, it was really a lovely thought until Snow told me that, actually, he's pretending to be dead so he can catch those rabbits for the farmer to eat. K. Happy feeling gone. But there really is nothing better than a traveling hammock, let's focus on that. You stuff it into a little sack and take it with you wherever you go. It really is amazing. If I ever start a non-profit, I think we'll go around and hand out hammocks & colorful bandana's stuffed with "Kind" bars and tied to sticks; you know, so hobos can carry them easily over their shoulders. I think using Kind bars instead of Cliff bars or Powerbars will really have a nice effect. Kind are the best anyway. Sorry for the rabbit trail, I was really having a nice thought there and I just decided to go with it. Anyway, we're here on this beautiful island again, only this time we have the minions & it's the best thing ever. Hannah & Daniel got to jump off a cliff, Emmeli's been chasing lizards non-stop, Ben & I swam with a sea turtle, and Snow is inventing new uses for coconut fiber. This really is the optimum time for a family vacation. I'm telling you, if you have 4 kids and the youngest is 12, go now! on a family adventure; that is unless your teenagers are punks, which mine are not. When I say punk, I don't mean it in the usual way. What I'm trying to say is, if your kids are agressive and violent young criminals, just stay home and see if you can get that worked out first. Well, I'm going to sign off for now, but I hope to do some more writing while I'm here. Funny thing, the last time I wrote was right after my last trip here. Apparently this place has a nice effect on my psyche. And another little tidbit: I looked up the definition for slumber- a natural and periodic state of rest during which consciousness of the world is suspended. To me, that actually sounds like an excellent definition for vacation. Thanks for reading my blog. You guys are the best.
