Kending

 

After Tyler finished up working at the hospital, we all took a trip down to the Southern part of the island, called Kending.  It is a fun resort town on the beach.  It was so hot and humid, but perfect weather for swimming!

Bridgette took some time to warm up to the ocean.  The first day it was really windy and the waves were loud, so she wasn't a big fan.

When I tried to dip her feet in she would pick up her legs and whimper.

A little weary of the whole ocean experience:

 

After a little torture, she got to play with Daddy.  No, this isn't our sweet hotel on the beach.  We walked down to the beach and tried to be honest and not swim at their beach, but some their lifeguards came over and told us we had to swim over there, so why not?  Since we were there, we took advantage of the umbrellas and lounge chairs.

 

Day 2 was great!  We went snorkeling at a quiet cove.  The fish were so different from other places we've snorkeled at.  We saw tons of fluorescent fish, a couple eels, a huge sea urchin, and big angelfish.  I forget how much I love seeing a whole different world!  The place we rented snorkel stuff from had us wear these awesome space suits, which we laughed at, but ended up loving not getting fried.

There was a really shallow tide pool where we let the babies play.  Bridgette actually liked playing in the water and kicking her legs.

Day 3 we went to another quiet swimming beach complete with giant umbrellas to rent and tacky remakes of American songs playing on loud speakers.

Here's my Island Cutie!

Our sweet setup.

Me and my ocean-loving baby.  She loved playing in the water and kicked her legs like crazy!

We loved seeing this part of Taiwan!!
