Matt and I just got back from a trip to the Dominican Republic with the adults in my family. It turned out to be so much fun and we were able to relax and do a lot of adventurous things. A few highlights were snorkeling in crystal clear water, Cliff jumping and sliding through 21 waterfalls (pictures to come), playing beach volleyball with locals, seeing sights in the city, going to their markets, a cock fight, and lots of playing on the beach.
The warm, clear water was so fun to play in. I could have enjoyed just the beach every day.
We went to church there and it was a really cool experience. I couldn't understand much, but the people were all so friendly and it was just like church here. Lucky for my single brothers we ran into a group of 30 BYU students (mostly girls).
Here is a picture of everyone that went (except Kyle who left early, party pooper..) All the boys are my brothers and my sister and mom are in front with my sister in law on the right. My grandma also came and it was so fun to spend time with her.
Kyle enjoying a pina colada. We had these like 5 times throughout the trip. They were amazing!
We also went to some really neat caves. They had pools inside where we took a ferry across to a beautiful haven in the middle.
One night at our hotel a model came to take pictures in the pool with bodyguards and all. We dared our single brother to run and do a cannonball with all his clothes on and get her all wet. We couldn't believe it, but he actually did it and the men in suits actually chased him down. Luckily he got away and we made it out of town the next morning safe. It was great though to see her scream when he did it.
We went to see Christopher Columbus' tomb and remains. This was the monument built for him.
All the boys went wind surfing one day and had fun even after coming home with battle wounds.
Matt and I love just having fun on the beach!
