We got away!!!!

Bruce and I just recently went on a 5 day get-away to Hamilton Island which is on The Great Barrier Reef. We had an absolutely wonderful time!! Some great friends of ours watched Haylee and Grace, so we really were in paradise!!! We took a helicopter ride out to the middle of nowhere to snorkle on the reef. It was so fantastic! Enjoy all the pictures....

ahhhh, no kids.....

some of the fish we swam with on the great barrier reef
