Coco Grove


A couple weeks ago our wonderful friend Meredith and her daughter Eve came to visit. We became friends while we were living in Australia and we hadn't seen them in over two years.  The moment Eve arrived Addy was obsessed with her! They hit it off so well instantly and then spent the next two weeks happily playing nonstop. They were such close friends that I think poor little Torah felt a little left out and needed some extra attention. In the middle of their two week visit we took them to Coco Grove. We love this place! Anyone who comes to visit us, we promise to take you here! We only stayed two nights and we got to the resort several hours later than planned due to a problem with the ferry to the Island,  so it was short trip, but still so worth it!




Waiting in Dumaugete for the boat to Coco Grove. 


It usually takes just 30 minutes to get from Dumaguete to Siquijor, but we had to take the Resort's dive boat and with the choppy water it took two hours. At least it was a fun adventure for the girls, and we all slept most of the boat ride.





Finally at the beach! So happy to play in the sand!







A delicious sand flavored ice-cream cone!





We almost gave up on finding a chocolate chip starfish, we even went snorkeling to look for one. Right before we left we were so happy to find one near the shore. It was the first time Eve had ever held a starfish and she was very excited about it!



Addy is always so proud to show her daddy her swimming skills!


The mango smoothies are amazing!















Addy couldn't find her sunglasses so I let her wear mine. They are so big on her, but she still looks so cute!


Goodbye Siquijor! On our way back to back to Manila.
