While Ryan went on a small tour of the area's historic sites, Roo and I played on the beach. Our first attempt at a race car track in the sand was stunted when the waves inched their way up on the shore. In the water, we dropped old pieces of bread (provided by the resort) to watch the hungry fish quickly gather around us. Snorkeling, we got an even closer look at their stripes and color markings.
We stayed cool in the shade, playing the Memory card game. Ryan returned at 2pm, surprised to see us still on the beach from the morning. Content to hang out in his chair, as long as we're talking, I can't help but think Roo's growing up. "Relax by the pool" wasn't in his vernacular a year ago. An even though the conversation is repetitive ("What's your favorite Lego Power Miner? What's your least favorite Lego Secret Agent set?"), I treasure these moments of conversation.
