Slip -n- Slide

We thought we would get the

slip n slide out since we made

it to 100 degrees today.  The

boys think they are melting in 

this heat.

Ry's Boy Scout Graduation

Rylee graduated from the

wolf pack to the bear pack

in Boy Scouts last week.

Grandpa put his new badge in his

pocket and Rylee gets it when he

does on good deed without being 

told. 

Then they painted his face and he

walked across the bridge and got

his new bear bandana.

Way to go Rylee!

 

St. Lucia!!!

KC and I just got back from

our trip to St. Lucia!

The whole trip was SO 

amazing.  We had the best

time.  We stayed at a Sandals

Resort and it was perfect.

The locals were so friendly 

and the island is gorgeous!

Here are some of my favorite

photos from the trip.

The plane ride was not so wonderful.

We flew to Dallas - Miami -St. Lucia.

Then on the way back San Juan - Miami

-Dallas -Home.  We missed our plane

in San Juan because we didn't have

enough time to get around the airport.

It was a huge mess, but we made it.

When we arrived at St. Lucia

we could ride the taxi to the resort

or take a helicopter ride.  It was a 

2 hour taxi ride through winding roads.

The copter ride was a 15 minute ride.

The ride was so worth the money.  It 

was sooo beautiful!!!

They have the most beautiful trees, 

plants, and flowers all over the island.

KC and I already planned on renewing

our vows while we were there.  He surprised

me though when we were on a tour.  We stopped

to look at this waterfall and he got down on

one knee and proposed to me.  I had no idea.

He had my old ring redone and everything.  

It was very sweet! 

KC and AJ went zip-lining  while

Chelsey and I got a massage

by the beach.  I think we got 

the better end of the deal. 

We renewed our vows under a 

little gazebo right on the beach.  

It was so perfect.

They brought us breakfast in bed

the next morning.  We ate it on our

balcony.  It was very yummy!

The locals were so friendly.

This is the guy we bought all of

our souvenirs from.  His name is 

Rasta man Charlie.  He had great

stories about the island and local

history.  We could have spent the 

whole vacation around him.  :)

We had the most amazing time!

The island, people, resort, everything 

was so perfect!

Rylee's Raingutter Regatta

Rylee had his Raingutter Regatta

with Boy Scouts.  He painted

his own boat and they raced 

them in raingutters.

Rylee did so good!  He got 

2nd place out of the whole

pack.  Which is about 75

boys.  Yay Rylee!
