Warning: Proud Parenty Entry

The sun came out and we made the most of it by doing very little...aahhh.  After a nice long walk along the desolate beach, we went to the 'stinger net section' for a swim.  The waves were pretty big due to the previous day's storm and there were little bits of stingers floating around- even in the stinger nets (Jim caught a bit of it on the back....he looks like he got attacked by a mosquito swarm but is otherwise fine)- so we didn't last long.  We spent the rest of the day at the pool and ADDI LEARNED TO SWIM!  Well, only with a snorkel and mask, but she is floating and kicking and paddling without any flotation devices, so I say it counts!  We will rid her of all equipment before we leave on Wednesday, but she is officially swimming as of today!  We attached a video link:  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gekCX9cKsyE

Also attached, is the promised link to Addi's review of snorkeling the Great Barrier Reef:

Apologies to readers who aren't Grandparents or Jim and I reading this years in the future...I realize that several of these entries are very proud-parenty, but hey....what can I say....It's a big part of the trip!  :-)
