On Sunday we played on the beach in the morning, and then decided to do something productive with our afternoon. We went to Queen Elizabeth II Botanical Park, which is located in the middle of the island. It was really nice, lots of beautiful plants and flowers. The best part, I thought, was that it is also a habitat for Blue Iguanas. There are not too many left in the world and most of them live there. They walk around where ever they want, so we ran across a couple of them walking down the trail. They are big - 25 pounds is what the website tells me - and are pretty cool looking. It was a great walk around the park, although very HOT! We finished at the park and headed back to the pool for a swim. Cameron loved swimming in the kiddie pool, he loved that he could walk around on his own. He splashed, ran around, swam in his "boat" and did not want to get out of the water. It was very cute. We don't have any water-related pictures yet because we used Jeff's underwater camera for all of those... hopefully soon though!
The first Blue Iguana that we saw - very cool!

Cameron and his friend the Blue Iguana. He had no fear whatsoever - in fact, he wanted to go closer than this but we didn't want him to!
Cam and Mama
Trying to get all three kids to ride the iguana didn't work so well!
Cameron, with his hair slicked down with sweat!

Great pictures, Kristin and Tim!!
Thanks for putting these up for those of us who have never been, but intend to.
I have to say, though, mixed messages to Cam!! You plop the poor kid on a huge iguana (fake, but does he get that?) and won't even let him NEAR a far smaller iguana on the ground (real, but again, does he get the distinction?). I can just hear him saying to himself " Okay, I can sit on a humungous lizard, but I am not allowed to stand near and get close to a very small one...hmmm..."
Ahh, the joys of parenting and making decisions for our kids!!
