the kids thought it was the best few weeks ever to get 8 days off of school.
the whole hood came out to play.
the kids were in and out as much as they could handle to play together.

bahamas here we come



It was hard to pick the favorite highlights of this fab trip.  It was chilly but the kids had a great time!
A few of the favs

the kids love love loved playing kissing a petting dolphins.  I mean does it get any better?  
poor ems was a bit small for this one so she got stuck hanging.

Image

Image

Image

Image

Image

beach time.  even if the water is chilly- the sun was shining and there
is something so magical about playing on the beach.

we took a special boat excursion to a private part of the island for the dolphins and beach time

Image

Image

Image

Image

Image

our boat.  its big!

Image

hanging in the holes.  we couldn't hang here long.  watching the water made us a 
bit sea sick :)  but it was too fun to pass up 

Image

Image

Image

we rented bikes and did our own bike tour.  
loved this!  the whole crew had so much fun. 

Image

Image

Image

the kids also loved the game rooms and kids rooms.  
there was a super fun room they could check into to play.  it took a while for us to 
convince them to go- and then they couldn't believe they didn't get to play there more.  
next time

Image

Image

Image

and everyone loved the fun dinners especially pirate night.  
there were way to many "arrrrs" going on that night.  After dinner we got to catch 
a disney musical which was so much fun.  everyone loved the shows
