Today I babysat our neighbor girls during the lunch hour (on campus). Here are some cute pictures of them with some of our other friends kids. Everyone could see a black object out in the Caribbean Sea and they were SURE it was a baby whale and they did not want anyone to miss out on it. (Don't get too excited. To me, it looked like a coconut)
It started out with just 3 kids. Sitting on a bench quietly, talking amongst themselves.
Then the girls I was babysitting and a few other friends got called over to see the "baby whale."
They were all occupied for quite some time, (and very intently) watching the black object, deciding whether or not it was actually a whale.
Almost everyone had a theory as to what it could be that they were seeing. They finally narrowed it down (between garbage, a monster fish, a sinking boat, a person swimming (if it was a person, how good would they feel to be confused with a baby whale?) a buoy and a baby whale.) One girl said "Okay. So, it's either a buoy or a whale. That white thing over there could be a buoy, but the black one has to be a whale." It was so fun listening to them weigh out the different possibilities.
They finally decided that the black thing out there was a whale. The object was really small, but their big imaginations made up for it. Aaahhh (sigh), the joys of childhood.

Aren't kids funny? Geez, it is beautiful there. You guys are so lucky to have this experience.
haha! I love how the girl on the end is sitting on the edge of the table with a huge slice of pizza looking so intensely at the "object of observation"!
