Possibly the best day ever!!!!

Today Lori and I went on an all day snorkeling tour of the Great Barrier Reef. It was amazing!!! I think it may have been the fanciest thing I have ever done. We bought a tour on a boat for only 23 people. We walked on the boat to breakfast, then had a morning snorkel, had a nice lunch, swam with some sharks, went out for an afternoon snorkel, then finished the day with afternoon tea. So amazing!! Here is me on the boat feeling fancy.




Yes I said I swam with sharks. They were just the small friendly ones, but I still got completely freaked out when one turned around and headed straight for me. My fight or flight reflexes kicked in and all I could do was swim backwards and laugh in an uncontrollable nervous laugh. The others on the boat thought it was pretty funny. We swam though lots of soft corals and saw lots of colorful fish and a couple sea turtles. Probably one of the best days ever!! They gave us special suits to wear to not get stung by jellyfish; luckily the jellyfish were not around. :) I'll post a picture of us in our suits later.  :)
