Caribbean Christmas -- Day 5 -- St. Maarten

Probably my favorite island.


Incredibly beautiful water.

Chartered Catamaran -- with just us!

Sailing through crystal blue waters -- and watching the manly men hoist the sail.

Joseph and Kerri... Joseph and Kerri ... Joseph and Kerri

Coolest Locals Beach

Body Surfing

Cameron making me laugh that he is afraid to jump off the diving board at the pool, but will jump off the Catamaran into the ocean, swim to the shore with no life jacket ...and not give it a 2nd thought!


More and more and more and more and more food!!!

Great Tenor shows that Grandpa loved.

Cousins loving karaoke, basketball, meeting new people, dancing, and eating again.

Caribbean Christmas -- Day 4 -- Tortolla

 Tortolla -- quaint little island.

Trek to church -- who knew walking 4 blocks could take 30 minutes.

Finding a church by hearing the organ play the Sacrament hymn.

Doubling the size of the congregation and meeting the sweetest people ever.

Cute little boy that told me all about "paying tithing is putting some of your money in an envelope, giving it to that man in the red tie, and then getting blessings from heaven."

First formal night at dinner.

Escargo for everyone!

Everyone exploring decks, late night soccer, shows, kids club, karaoke and dancing.

Lauren... yes Lauren being the first person to meet a friend.  (Fortunately she isn't boy crazy and she was more interested in hanging out with her cousins and he enjoyed hanging out with the family.)
