Tonga Part Dos

Other people on the trip posted their pictures on Photobucket, so now I have some more of Trav's trip to share. And here I thought I had put Tonga behind me! :)
One of the Saturdays they took a boat out to one of the smaller islands (Doug walked around the whole thing in 20 min.) to go snorkling. Here's the crew on the three hour tour. ♫ A three hour tour. ♫




 This is Trav with Dr. Gambacorta, the professor who went with them. They took this picture to display the {darkest} person against the {whitest}. Go Trav. :)

 A non-blurry one of him working! :)

 Don't mind creeper Chris inbetween :)


 Most of the group plus some clinic workers.

 Playing "Ninja".

 These are the {blowholes}. Chris is in the background being crazy/dangerous. Where the water sprays up is where it is hitting the ledge of rock.


 Had to display the 'staches. So sexy. Why did he ever shave it off ? :)
Creed looks like a Mexican, for reals. Tengo hambre, hombre?!

 These men ate the whole thang!


 Remember the story about Trav getting called up on stage to dance at the show? Well here is the lady that {leid} him. Ooo la la!


 Supposedly the only three branch palm tree in the world.

Side note: I've shared that Travis went to Tonga with a few non-LDS people and I get the strangest looks. Then they ask where Tonga is because they've never heard of it. ????? This strikes me as odd. So is it just well known to us because of missionaries? I'm guessing so.

Hello friend! So no, we didn't vaccinate him. I was super worried about having to go into a ped's office and fight with the doctor about it, so I asked around a lot of what other people thought of their Pediatricians but eventually I decided to ask my OB because he was so on my side about going natural. And he new I wasn't going to vaccinate Draven. So he gave me a GREAT recommendation of an office and I was able to meet two Dr's from the office and I picked the one I liked best. She still makes me sign forms acknowledging that I am refusing the shots but she doesn't give me a hard time about it. She'll give me information about the shots and websites to look at.

But I have had Draven's Gastrointestinal Dr. start treating me like I was an idiot and that I didn't have Draven's best interest in mind. We don't go to her anymore. I just feel that the side effects outweigh the protection because they really only protect them so much. When outbreaks happen usually around 50% of the people that are effected with the disease has been immunized for it. I'm sure you know all this already but It is so hard to stand your ground with the MD's. I have a really interesting book you should find, It's "How to raise a healthy child in spite of your Doctor". It is written by a pediatrician that is very against over medicating your children. Andy and I both read it and refer back to it all the time with questions about our babe.

I hope that helps at all, sorry they are giving you a hard time! Do what your heart tells you, I remember you telling me that story about Collin and how you felt uncomfortable and then he got sick after! You know your baby and you know what's best for them! Love ya and I miss you guys soooooo much. I can't wait to meet Weston this summer.

Love my little "whitie". And yes, Creed looks like he is from south of the border. Looks like they had a fun time. What is going on with the romance?
