Croatia Vacation Day 3 - Brijuni National Park

 Our landlady had a friend who wanted to sell us a boat ride out to Brijuni National Park. Ben thought it sounded like a good idea and so the next morning we went to the docks in Pula and boarded the Pirate ship that was to take us around the islands and finally drop us off at one of the bigger islands.

 View of the Roman Amphitheater in Pula as we were sailing away.
 There were so many beautiful islands that we sailed around. Everytime Ty saw one of them he would yell, 'Land ahoy!!'
 Laney and Ty checking out the waves and the beautiful scenery.
 We got to the island where we were to spend several hours. We were told that there also were animals on the island for us to look at. We saw 1 peacock and 3 donkeys. I'm not sure where the other animals were hiding, but after coming home and looking on google, we think maybe we were dropped off on the wrong island. hahaha It was okay. We still had quite a great day. Ben and Ty saw lots of fish with the goggles and we all had a great time.
 Nyah desperately needed a nap and Ben is the only one who can get her to sleep while walking around with her (if you want to know how he gets her to sleep, you'll have to ask him hee hee). Anyway, she fell asleep and we made a little bed for her with all the towels and she slept for a while. Cute little pea.
Ty was also getting tired from all the sun and water so for the last 30 minutes before the boat picked us back up he had a little rest. Cute little man.  We later found out that Angelina Jolie was visiting the same island a couple days before we were there!
