We woke up and set out to hike through the wilderness to find a waterfall. After a beautiful drive part way up the mountain, we unloaded from the car and began our walk to falls. A few short feet into the walk, Korey, with her camera on her wrist, was attacked by a bug. In the process of flicking the bug off her shoulder, Korey propelled the camera from her wrist. It broke. She was bummed. Like really bummed. So she walked back to the car to sulk. After another few feet, Mom got tired and turned back. Soon, Kevin saw a waterfall. Actually more like a water trickle. Kevin, Dad, and I were sure there was a bigger waterfall out there so we continued our hike. The path continued to descend the mountain so eventually we decided that this was actually the hike up to the waterfall that was indeed the little trickle we had seen before. On our return trip to the car, Kevin climbed a tree. It was either 25, 35, or 50 feet tall depending who you ask. Next we headed west in the direction of the map’s “Paradise Beach”. After about 45 minutes we realized we were back on our side of the island. We accidentally drove around the entire island looking for a beach that apparently doesn’t exist. So we stopped in at the Hilton. Mom and Korey went off for a little retail therapy. At the Hilton I saw my first needlefish and ray of the trip. Quick meal at the Hilton restaurant and then the ladies picked us back up and we headed back to my favorite beach, at Sofitel. Although Korey was with us at my favorite beach this time, she never got in the water. Kevin and I found the friendly fishes again. We left Sofitel with growling stomachs. Kevin, Dad, and I decided that there were quite a few leftovers that needed to be eaten for dinner while Mom and Korey decided that going out was the better decision. We also played Scrabble while they were gone; Dad won. As a full family, we again played Presidents. I think Mom probably won that one. During the games we had laundry in the washer. When Dad went to rotate the clothes, he noticed that the washer was still full of water. It seemed the drain feature was broken. He moved the first load to the dryer and started the second load in the washer after Kevin assured him that we would have plenty of time to dry all of the clothes. After load 2 was done washing, we attempted to pull load 1 out of the dryer; it wasn’t even remotely dry. Currently, load 1 is still in the dryer and load 2 is hanging out the clotheslines. I’ll give a laundry update tomorrow. Kevin, Dad, and I played another round of Scrabble which Dad again won and now I’m off to watch another chunk of The Bounty.
