Finding Nemo

Hello, again! We are back in Cairns and about to embark on our adventure to "Find Nemo". From the start of our vacation, I told the girls that we were on a mission to find Nemo. If you have never heard of Nemo, he is a clown fish that was created by Disney in an animated flick that they like! "Finding Nemo" was my term for our "Great Barrier Reef Adventure".
There's Nemo on the sign! Unfortunately, he was not to be found in the water! {= two disappointed girls!}
We were trying to pass the time on the boat ride. 2.5 hours didn't go so well for me! Seasickness hit in the second hour and made my time on the reef miserable.

Upon our arrival, we settled in with a buffet lunch and then got busy with activities!
We started our sea-searching adventure peering out the glass and into the water. A few fish passed by!

Next, it was Matt's turn to get ready to do his scuba diving. {This was his favorite part of the trip; he even had an under water camera and he can't wait to develope those photos. As he was lowering himself down a HUGE fish swam right up near his face! He loved it!}
The girls and I embarked on a semi-submersible boat with windows throughout. We were able to see so much!
The girls enjoyed the semi-sub ride, but unfortunately it made me even more sea sick!
Here are a few pictures of the reef.


After Matt's diving adventure and our submarine ride, we went for a swim as a family.


Even baby boy joined in on the swim!
It was a fun and adventurous day!
Join me tomorrow for more pictures from our trip!
Enjoy today!
