ROAD TRIP....

Our vacation time finally arrived. As many of you already know, we opted to tour the island as a family instead of heading back to Canada. This was not an easy decision due to the fact that we miss our friends and family very much. However, it would also be a shame to live on the island for two years and only see a very small part of it.

We took three weeks off from work and headed on a ROAD TRIP. First destination was the south west with Terry Jill and Hazel. We saw cacti, iguanas, and a saltwater crocodile. We swam at pebble beaches with rocks that were white and tumbled by the Carribean Sea.

The stories that we could tell could fill this page. We were pulled over by the police for some unknown reason....had Haitian protesters bang on our vehicle while we drove past....a cute Dominican girl asked Brodie for his email address at a Christian rally, and another ' Dominican babe' put her hand on our slowly moving vehicle to touch Brodie's hair (she ended up poking him in the eye!!) The temperature was easily 35+ degrees all the time. BUT we had the BEST time. We are so lucky to have Terry, Jill and Hazel in our life. I cannot tell you how fun it is to explore new areas with the people you really care about.

The downer....when we returned home we learned that our house had been broken into. We had a house sitter (sorry Kristin) but they somehow knew to break in on the one evening that she went out for supper. More suspicious things happened, for some reason, Terry's birth certificate was on our table after they broke in. Hmmm...

Well, we are off again, a different staff member has offered to stay this time. Special thanks to Matt! Terry and Jill are getting Chiquita...Hazel LOVES Kita!

We are now off to Ocean World. Ethan is spinning in circles, he is so excited!! We are hoping to have a video clip to show you.
