Family Vacation 2012

An afternoon playing in the pool, overlooking the sea.
Trying to master the Slack Line.
Daytime sail across the island.  The water so clear and blue, the wildlife teaming, wind in the sails..... a glorious day!
Meals made by Lucy were to die for!  Such a treat to not cook or clean for an entire week!
 
A day snorkeling in multiple locations with Martin.  It was so fun snorkelling with the girls and enjoying them seeing the sea animals, turtles and all!
 
Playing by the pool and sailing from our beach.
 
Deep sea fishing for those who don't get sea sick.  Seth wrestled with a sea monster and lost in the end, but still caught some yummy fish for dinner.
 
A first time adventure of Para Sailing. 
So high, so beautiful, so exciting.
Sunset cruise where we took a copy cat picture of Libby and Adalie from our very 1st Family Vacation in 2006.
 
Day dives with Martin (aka Inspector Clouso) where the sea life was just as incredible as the reef.  The day dives were spectacular.  In the midst of a lightening storm, the night dive was breathtaking with it's glowing creatures.
 

Hanging out at the beach after snorkelling a National Preserve.
Papa's perfect surprise.... Swimming with Dolphins!  It was incredible.  To be so near to such a powerful and beautiful creature.
 

Watch out.... she will give you an extra exciting ride!
 
 
Our daytime sailing adventure where we fished, snorkelled, ate, spinickered and laughed so hard we cried!
 
 Snorkelling, spinickering, discovering.
 
 
The family enjoying the last sunset on the roof of our villa.  What an amazing week!
Thank you Papa and Grammy.
We missed you Mimi and Papa CT.

My Friend

Often times I feel so blessed because of our sweet family, but that is really only part of the picture.  Truly, I am blessed because I have dear friend.  One that, on the edge of a cliff, will hold my hand and jump!  She stretches me, encourages me, challenges me.  Some days we laugh and others we cry, but the best ones are the days we laugh so hard we cry.  Thank you for loving me...
My cup runs over....

Dinky Creek Slides

Dinkey Creek Rock Slides with friends and family. 
We hiked, picnicked, warmed against the rocks, jumped off waterfalls, slid down the slides, splashed, swam and scuba too!
A perfect day...

4th of July






It's the 4th of July. 
First comes the parade with GiPa, then playing in the water with cousins, then BBQing and eating potato salad, then party barging, ice cream eating and fireworks watching!  4 generations together.
