Dominican Republic

This first picture is a member family from Jacob's first area. Then it's casey's dad, me, jacob and casey. My eyes are that big because it really is that hot in there!!! At night, we had fans on us in our hostel where we were basically camping. It would normally be ideal, but at 4.5 months pregnant, it wasn't the best.

 The last day was the best as we went to the beach and went boogie boarding. The hardest part was kicking and paddling out past the waves. Casey kept saying that I needed to paddle so I could get going faster to catch the waves, but I think that he forgot about the bowling ball on my belly, which was really hard to balance on the board. I was pretty tired, but rode two good waves all the way in to shore. Here we are after two runs past the break.
After the long day at the beach, Casey sacked out in the hammock. Isn't he so cute??! It was a good time meeting all of Jacob's people and eating rice and beans. We also ate tons of great mangoes, bananas and my favorite fruit that's also found in Tonga, but not in the USA. When I saw it, I nearly jumped out of the car while it was driving down the road. I made otai out of it and was the happiest girl in the world. I'm also confident that the baby liked it too!

Prego boogie boarding. Wish we could've got some action shots of that!

Pretty much REALLY impressed by the boogie boarding! At 4.5 months pregnant I was only riding waves of vomit :)

I'm also impressed by Casey's ability to sleep in ANY position because that hammock looks like it's about to dump him!
