{Roatan}

Our next stop was Roatan, Honduras. We decided to head to Gumbalimba Park. Our first adventure was to go on the zipline. Since the cute little Evette was too cute and too little to do the zipline she joined Megan and I in the park while the rest of the family went down the zipline. This was a big zipline with lots of stops- took like 30-40 minutes to go down it. After the family was done then Maggie and I handed off the Babbs and went for our turn on the zipline.
We were so lucky because we were with a small group - just us and one other couple so we got lots of attention. We also got to do tricks like the superman:
and we also got to ride upside-down for a little bit like this guy:
It was awesome!!!!!

After ziplining we went snorkeling. I'm not going to lie - this was pretty scary for me. We swam out to the reefs instead of taking a boat and it freaked me out to be that far away from the beach with nothing but a tiny little life jacket. We did have a guide with a lifesaver but it was still pretty crazy.
Grandma Kristen volunteered for Evette duty. They played in the sand and in the water. Evette found a dinglehopper in the ocean - what a little mermaid. We saved it as a memento. 




Once we got in from snorkeling we took Evette out in the water for a swim. She absolutely loved it!

We grabbed some lunch.....
and then went to go look at the wildlife! Evette, Megan, and I saw all of this while the rest of the family was on the zipline but we were more than happy to go back and do it again. Evette wasn't too thrilled when we went to go see the monkeys, especially since one of them pulled her hair, but after time she got more used to them.







She mostly like playing with rocks.






That day was pretty draining. Evette slept the majority of the way back to the cruise ship.

Roatan was, in my humble opinion, the most beautiful stop we made!
