Pembrokeshire was so much fun that I couldn't fit it all in one blog post! Day #5 brought more sunshine and a trip to Bosherston to take a walk and check out the lily ponds. Our walk led us to another beautiful beach, Broad Haven. We decided to set up camp and the kids spent a few hours playing in the water and exploring a cave. It was COLD but the kids swam anyway...you'll notice our children are the only ones in the pictures in the water without wet suits!

| The girls are ready for our walk! |
 |
| Bosherston was beautiful! |
 |
| Most of them are looking. Success! |

| Lyla walked back and forth making footprints in the sand. |

| SAND! |
 |
| I love this one of Neda and Elliott! |
 |
| Some shenanigans were going on! |
 |
| This is what the Brits in the water were wearing. No need for sunscreen! |
After a wonderful day out, it was early to bed for the big day....Skomer Island! We had struck out a few times during the week since it was too windy for the ferry to run to the island. So we took no chances...only a few ferries are allowed to visit per day so our wonderful friend Ted ran to the ticket center at 6 am to make sure we got our tickets. Thanks Ted! The ferry ride was quick and easy and then we were in a place that surpassed all of our expectations...
 |
| Beautiful wildflowers were everywhere... |
 |
| So we stopped for a family photo! |
 |
| And another... |
 |
| And another! |
 |
| We checked out the beautiful cliffs... |
 |
| Then it was time for PUFFINS! |
 |
| What a view! |
 |
| The puffins dig holes all over the island for their homes. There is a rope in certain spots to remind you to stay on the path so you don't accidentally step on a hole. We all took lots of pictures of this poor puffin, not realizing he was one of thousands we'd see, many much closer than this! |
 |
| One puffin flew right by us! |
 |
| Friends! |
 |
| I think those two are kissing... |
 |
| Family photo opp! |
 |
| Such a beautiful place! |
