A Visit From The Scuba-Squirrel

Emily came for a visit this past week. She had a huge agenda...............painting Crabby, learning to scuba dive, and generally getting into trouble. She accomplished all three..................and broke a few hearts while she was here.

The first three days involved scuba certification.............early to bed, early to rise. We drove her to her scuba school where she learned theory and had practice diving from 8 AM to 4 PM each day. She could just get cleaned up by happy hour, so a full day to be sure.

That Mahi didn't have a chance

After her certification, we dove almost every day................and saw turtles, frogfish, eels, and other crazy critter-life. We found time for throwing the football, and even bought a mahi from a local fisherman so Emily could try her hand at emergency fish surgery..................alas, the operation was a success but the patient didn't make it.

Alas, the time went too fast and we put her on a plane today...............she's going from 78 degrees and sunny to 20 degrees and snowing in Blacksburg, VA. Ugh. At least we have the memories.
