He asked one morning if he could try it so we just said yes and pulled them off. We started in the grass and he rode pretty well the very first time I launched him. We decided to keep trying and except for one little break for food he was riding in a matter of hours.

It came on shore as a tropical storm and brought with it quite a stom surge. We traveled inland to Uncle Danny and Aunt Claudia's house where we had a hurricane party. The next day the pictures really told the story. The town was without power for almost a week with some households not getting it back for almost 2 weeks. The water rose up and deposited flotsum all over the causeway below (usually 5-6 feet above water level) and all over our road. Boats on dry dock floated off their stands crashing into each other before being placed on the ground. We came out pretty well, our power was back in 1 day and our house suffered only a broken storm window and a little bit of lost siding (which was found in our neighbor's yard.)<br /><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; width: 400px; height: 299px; text-align: center; display: block; cursor: pointer;" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5720804698666092466" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgpQLT5R_XAfLG6m7zxQgLt7hmmixigy0VgUPLQ3XJ5rilkLfGxC3AiAY9UA11x5b7OU3a8AlpiMCAtpDdsQghnLhQKjMUPQ-9IDPghZCmDiAJfK0fne9s4z9bt0kOEAL0lob2-AA/s400/IMG_0950.JPG" /><br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh2azcGjYyim2QGYGuK8-9GEHtc_AIxGFDfYfbUmPafqFdRgLr4VHKR8sF25_mpbXx42_x0h3f7atEjkxIUr_EzL5OJQtZ5ZOfd7LeizXBs9j2YdmNg2LzrSpl0Q0Xd_ApgBfsOvQ/s1600/IMG_0942.JPG"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; width: 400px; height: 299px; text-align: center; display: block; cursor: pointer;" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5720804690548244978" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh2azcGjYyim2QGYGuK8-9GEHtc_AIxGFDfYfbUmPafqFdRgLr4VHKR8sF25_mpbXx42_x0h3f7atEjkxIUr_EzL5OJQtZ5ZOfd7LeizXBs9j2YdmNg2LzrSpl0Q0Xd_ApgBfsOvQ/s400/IMG_0942.JPG" /></a>Docks at the point were covered by the river.<br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEglRQ_F0DuFxHWh3dwagOSwTxIOFCKWrCUwcFKsfBSXDe1mbtW275HRWkEhS1mAP3FzAZIGAFuGEWzD6Sgp2kjKd_lmUC_JeMCdhdb0tHp61izqNDVcv5sctVunFFgaoyyO-dK71A/s1600/DSCF1328.JPG"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; width: 400px; height: 300px; text-align: center; display: block; cursor: pointer;" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5720804688523668818" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEglRQ_F0DuFxHWh3dwagOSwTxIOFCKWrCUwcFKsfBSXDe1mbtW275HRWkEhS1mAP3FzAZIGAFuGEWzD6Sgp2kjKd_lmUC_JeMCdhdb0tHp61izqNDVcv5sctVunFFgaoyyO-dK71A/s400/DSCF1328.JPG" /></a>Amy did her best Al Roker impression and luckily did not get blown away.<br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhdODgbtoj2Yl3NlcfxHFMuY_b6C4v0Rp7NGq4MdJh9UVI8vbWWqHdxBVog1nrZP42CDo7zNFbYgawmJ0MXw3cfpK3qo7_Ha2wEbphakrhY6V-7Y7-meiklprG9qzJX_KTxO0ncpg/s1600/DSCF1309.JPG"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; width: 400px; height: 300px; text-align: center; display: block; cursor: pointer;" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5720804673475193138" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhdODgbtoj2Yl3NlcfxHFMuY_b6C4v0Rp7NGq4MdJh9UVI8vbWWqHdxBVog1nrZP42CDo7zNFbYgawmJ0MXw3cfpK3qo7_Ha2wEbphakrhY6V-7Y7-meiklprG9qzJX_KTxO0ncpg/s400/DSCF1309.JPG" /></a><br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg-ETBHN_bgjHmYY2Uis02H-qUe_OiLAoZeafSAFJEAz_InfNUNorC3saCAzBx6DQctMU77XvymNc99oDnWyDwJAAOA6OyVIgBjm7LwcAKvzoa67DinCUTr2N5sLweR-c_b6I8I4A/s1600/DSCF1305.JPG"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; width: 400px; height: 300px; text-align: center; display: block; cursor: pointer;" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5720804665631669906" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg-ETBHN_bgjHmYY2Uis02H-qUe_OiLAoZeafSAFJEAz_InfNUNorC3saCAzBx6DQctMU77XvymNc99oDnWyDwJAAOA6OyVIgBjm7LwcAKvzoa67DinCUTr2N5sLweR-c_b6I8I4A/s400/DSCF1305.JPG" /></a><br /><div> </div></div></div></div></div><br /><br /><iframe width="560" height="315" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/8DUiQP24QV4" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe><br /><br /><iframe width="560" height="315" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/O0Az-wl25wU" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36498097.post-46702113950630963122011-07-09T10:38:00.004-05:002011-07-09T11:11:11.160-05:00Summer in New EnglandFor those of you who have lived in New England you know that summer does not last very long here but when it is here it is beautiful. A little while back we had highs in the 40s and the next day it was 80 degrees and sunny. Luckily it has stayed that way and we have been able to get out and enjoy it. <br /><div><br /><br /><div>We have spent a lot of time on our bikes and exploring the places we have lived lately. We started with a trip to Newport. It was a great day trip. We brought the bikes and loaded the boys up for what we didn't know would be about 18 miles of riding. We really wanted them to experience everything though. We viewed the mansions, went to the cliff walk, flew kites at Brenton Point, toured downtown, and then surfed some waves at the beach.

We grabbed some worms and bobbers and headed down to the lake. I was somewhat worried about whether or not we would catch anything but knew I had seen fish swimming in the lake.<br /><br /><br /><div>Cast #1: After about 10 minutes of getting set up and getting Everett's rod rigged up he walked up and cast it right into a tree. Hook, line, and sinker...all gone. Oh well, on to the next cast:</div><br /><div></div><br /><br /><div>Cast #2: After another 10 minutes of re-rigging Everett's pole the boys were starting to get restless. After all, we had been at the lake for 20 whole minutes, one cast into a tree and no fish yet. The second cast was a beauty. Everett put it right out there. I told him to wait and turned around to grab my pole. Next thing I knew he was screaming and reeling and landed his first fish.<br /></div><br /><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 300px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 400px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5626070795939674050" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiu9E6B2lrLpnEYh2jPFMIcgkEcg4AOrrAwY6q2T7JWwv0L8UpmYFymIPtiupCTqvuJaf2HmlNXAgnIWoQUvEqYlOEemJky0HbLhDHxmYdg-vhRE8Q9ZCyzpLL3JPqndCn8dKJHUA/s400/DSCF1266.JPG" /><br /><br /><div>It never slowed down.

I would update the blog with the pictures from out trip to SC, but instead I will take this opportunity to call out my sister for not sending them yet.... So instead I will update what we have been doing. When we got home, Jack got rid of his pacifier and then went right into potty training. It took a few accidents, but dare I say he is potty trained!! He is wearing big boy underwear all the time (when awake) and doing great. Everett was really helpful in teaching him the ropes, and mommy got really good at cleaning the bathroom every few hours. </div><br /><br />It has been getting pretty nice out, so we took our new kites (presents for the boys birthdays from Brian and Ali, Ev's Godparents) out for a try. Both boys loved it! Turns out they can do it all by themselves.

As you can see, we certainly enjoyed the view.</div><br /><div></div><br /><div><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 300px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5575962960785497922" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEit5JDlbou1QGuVfAIiSfw6q9VcIwHCMgLzwsN1G7VlyrrQ1yb3Kl9IkZ6jHrKqUCQdONtsX6wz0OTXZs3E3RFZPZGC8ynHEv_sZ7W3KD_ON1wTgR4P1LyRKGkQqsS058sT5Uv7TQ/s400/IMG_4997.JPG" /><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 300px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5575962269145782642" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi0vwEpK6OGwn34kTFea1JO5muQ4cf1lDh3bafv882xFTAPQHXoBlUHUd5ixaLlEKpPNWx5j3RblgTdhto65ZWRPwTld9bz7m3pA8EMHoSh3Wgf8sTczESHcJnxJhLTKM2FaOmdKg/s400/IMG_4828.JPG" />Of course, we couldn't just sit in the pool the whole time. We had to hit the beach. We started with the beach below the house, Lindquist, one of the least known and quietest beaches on St. Thomas. Don't let that fool you though, it is beautiful.</div><br /><div><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 300px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5575960456612988850" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjvwMjBlSdRN_L3Sf9-sca6APREchf7WpCB1xfn6arTRFfem-3FI6UDRiBNW_CuHM4QTvBjxxlvnDdu9Y9X5WkqY5BSkB_v7pOcTOeTcmxYv6cLuesnhy0Kdd3q7V5ctawst6CbRg/s400/DSCF9112.JPG" />Jack had a good time last year but this year he really lived up to his blond curls and surfer attitude. If you tried to drag this kid off the beach you would literally have two tracks running from the beach to the jeep caused by his little feet.<img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 300px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5575961377140923010" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEizdQBX-3iEjicFNQEmW8VXwbsGfSitx3WRnQ7ancSfeX5EgbUeSeD1iL7gnqL-zRLy103vyTpxZ1hep8R-FNVv-XxVdKx8S9Ekz09xfKwAviv7ogUOhgPrc7fugQpxrfDr0d-nGw/s400/IMG_4602.JPG" />Although we spent most of our time at Lindquist we did have to check out some of the island's other beaches. Megan's Bay is consistently rated as on of the most beautiful beaches in the world so we took a trip there. Once again the kids loved it and spend a lot of time running back and forth along the sand holding hands. There they go... <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj4WlNTdyDDdpsO-XGvGMBbsgFRGbZHPZURGGeNbe-3fXZyiA1Uxbx_EPUv83tnwTU-d93dLRwIjsncf5u5pSS-fxWVBOyZ0ZcReoPJ6I96aa-eiVzBY_sYJZo7qv1CPTPzt9nJag/s1600/DSCF9073.JPG"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 300px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5575962951653890754" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi0f_uMF3s9HqrPkury2OR3n3pifOPw6oFmJU9O_IvokKTkg8Ahqew4iYU6Lsku056Udz53FnmNj37Q7zMfVps5zEYOtt4xeUBEfyeo7S4TZ4hkyv3TtLbkpIfe6xjrsWeM6398-Q/s400/IMG_4969.JPG" /></a></div><br /><div>And here they come...<img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 300px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5575962956742934706" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjLald6Ni1nHC5jfhnX_fzrGjpCODWk7KGUOdcdBL9UoJmJqwDBrP0tEPLcgJ1aMqqTt8dK8YUspUtCQrE7wxgdWI2xuZkkc2LMW7xAlFIJnGp7gqqPKVI48fdqJzxYHrXVwyUkTg/s400/IMG_4973.JPG" />After a while the adults got tired of chasing them (even though there were six of us working in shifts) and wanted to sit down and enjoy a nice Bushwacker (the signature drink of Megan's Bay). We were able to do this thanks to a great invention by Uncle Danny...<img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 300px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5575962962797948930" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg_ikiEQaE2RTqrxaodwLSmSOYaK1mAINnRDPlD_SYrY-eQga4K99JI2vYq3o_-c73dXZmZ2f8EiqSkh72tektgPJK8NeeO05KAkdVMnCuunh4HFVwyxzWeyjHohhcdt_BOoV9Vng/s400/IMG_4978.JPG" />We call it "The Kid Catcher." Essentially you build the largest hole in the sand you can and make steps down into it and kids walking (or running since they never walk) fall right into the trap and start playing quietly together. It is amazing. Here are various shots of "The Kid Catcher."</div><br /><div><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 300px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5575958444079540674" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiDG7zbvTzFX7tePseij4hIQ4akq28LjgO-27D2GqpI3RhjD_sD2No3Drd7Yl1pUWthWVNZC3uR8RTjbCh-CAbgpQNOkTleyaSFFEXTnjcMJ-I8GXngASSaUC5TW-uAfRlL5Axatw/s400/DSCF9050.JPG" /><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 300px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5575961372995596530" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiwXSrNzV7_0jLlMs2i339_rvPJZFjFd5OtV1qiXdTzykQ-8T4yczyek5tpSUlq8OrPIu_xwVIEMofKJeeTqpMNv8sYPFEugR2FqvNbOxU7TMbPVBEYHYO-BltaPKQscMFWjA3f0w/s400/IMG_4554.JPG" />Sometimes you can get them to help build there own trap:<img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 300px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 400px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5575962948663462738" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiY6vozIka7Dtg6xeZ1rfArDioNf_f1nlPFiEiB4GZkot_ft1n0EeeTQo5MUwQA040nm9rLrSkWv59TwTgwlDOScJWEyVNIwSJYUTg9SxBenyZEyIJ3ruyOszFnAAAn0OOAXJtzfQ/s400/IMG_4897.JPG" />Apparently, it is a Grandpa catcher too:</div><br /><div><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 300px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5575961377654507042" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgikEYydKQ2i2jtoi1WjrZ5HbQGR0xCI_uuvsH4n6ilEUrEMoaCtgSqvD01TPLINptcYA2lycF69ounfeKOW0m_V8yrAW6TaWXtyApejvdUcRTjdB56uFC2nVFU0c-AHXwmtmDWIQ/s400/IMG_4566.JPG" /></div><br /><div>After all that time on the beach we had to take a day to relax and explore the island.

There we hung out on the beach and drank painkillers.<img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 300px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 400px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5580604442341498770" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgpHVBP0IpEuv5iRpB6akD5PZS2ffz7uVYrl_0u_hdMZ2_KCduvfJZc02HyLO9B8qaZLV31ihiLdjeqLVcRFPSoV32nd_-s23GOt2AThMJv6zXxDlEjKToP_npmQi5Ga7ylYPjlXw/s400/DSCF9068.JPG" /><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 300px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5575962265474414322" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj_htvQjW7pcjkF-iSpUzU3_gosm7V1gt2YhIhqpRjdCkSAwsiJXnQ9uzd5J3m1UYyf1sPA8S4i5ZZY03UdxAIDQ7LFWP6M-hBIz01BJ6sq6RxngqHn-AFjQSRwhI8WPGMuobuZWQ/s400/IMG_4680.JPG" /><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 300px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5575962262148846178" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhQijCHVxjF88BqGJpfDf8qfK2Y_oV7ntyg1_rZQ2vqQPa6OWsHrTh7tnli3idZ_XiCzoG74gFDidTE8Lf5TwYSr0B1ESEfkUDePYM3WHAWOqL_-gBsBBOKPP7nuOpxL6dPTkTFcQ/s400/IMG_4674.JPG" /><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 300px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5575962261201323506" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg5ESvvdoSNs7uPsMo2xPQhRhexbALAaPVy3CQ_UdNY3rLR7ZFL9EVBT2YLek9DgH1jr9j-JofHF3atZODdPE7OGUb2ZnB8WmbnsEFeUC7hJp4f2fPFApHQUTq7rJFCgklngMltOQ/s400/IMG_4648.JPG" /><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 300px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5575961384844636290" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhVLd2F5tLhfdy9K7eck90W8ChTTrP7WKERWML9fQdPRPG6sIV45vH5gldjp_GQup6D0_L4ybhcad3EqfIJdvYrIt_GyAFX3WdiAmLHAkElaPu-TG2IaFMWTCLJIpo1t1qKIM-_eQ/s400/IMG_4639.JPG" />We also took a walk down the beach. We had heard that Alton Brown from the food channel had profiled this small beach restaurant called One Love that had some great food. We all got a fish sandwich and it did not dissapoint.<img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 300px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5575959432776390818" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgT_EMYVeGWsF6vddBfcUpGQil4Ehq9_99SCIuHc_UY695yDwFbq3PoRhK5OqSTvwUKig3e6vpxIp978PN4fDBwKvdWiijm21NX2P5DGUFFNJajr0Ad24bbdFt13sAMgiwmiapxuA/s400/DSCF9070.JPG" /><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 300px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 400px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5580604448096301298" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj4WlNTdyDDdpsO-XGvGMBbsgFRGbZHPZURGGeNbe-3fXZyiA1Uxbx_EPUv83tnwTU-d93dLRwIjsncf5u5pSS-fxWVBOyZ0ZcReoPJ6I96aa-eiVzBY_sYJZo7qv1CPTPzt9nJag/s400/DSCF9073.JPG" /> After all the eating and drinking and playing on the beach the boys were pretty tired so they passed out together in a hammock.<br /><div><br /></div><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 300px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5575959441358242642" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjM0E4kJAzT9CEJVHzP0pa1v39ZilkI3Qi85hyeL_8wuBqoTLFUh9IBiucHHFOtZubVJKwz6sjKKSH4x5UgViwe6sQejZ-iQBM6627PVkGJw5SmYME0w89wyxwiy4n6DR555pj9vw/s400/DSCF9082.JPG" />Amy was tired too, but she didn't make it to the hammock.</div><div><br /><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 300px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5575959435752832930" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgjuv8itDTedGxDsZhXkY8HSlMjtkBtbM_k_BuzikNtw17Kwft8p1W8LlLhHtC0_m_iY1xUZCfVAZxwEvleduaPlJIOZprKtQnJaJOADHFrvVIq44FXBqBWxkEGc26OBqLSmaJ36w/s400/DSCF9075.JPG" />Speaking of restaurants, we ate at a few other places that were pretty good. Iggy's had the best wings on the island, and buckets of RUM.<img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 300px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5575961370051601906" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEghjeU5-pJ7LZALksc_um0h390aB-QorBJfA_agrQFer5mqXEKhDO1u67ev8eMtr9eoxiot8__GA0pPOqQbFCE4-0iR4yXoua3IxHVY8FwzPStLGReoLxU0WwqT879QgyuoURq4ZA/s400/IMG_0083.JPG" />We also went to Jack's because of the name.<br /><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 300px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5575960473202242978" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjL01mAf3K-U2O1wnVLxPs2wjNyE-4BFQw-Gm4JcTyIAbUKOl5EUQ2dbhmkjHypl_ut9uYzKqM-ewp3fiOq9xHsXzj_-tzz1l9oFKA-MDofDI-snldXGpUa6jVwse0N709xhp1_TA/s400/DSCF9193.JPG" />Another night we went to Duffy's love shack. As you can see the boys danced the night away.<br /><div><div><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 300px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5575963384588096002" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgvBcfW16Hu2DpQPYy01gjpbLvQ2S86k5ccR83RCCdiSfX82gwYzC1Z8NO4IBOsVTD5Vg2jwrGGuuE2kHBcAvLwo5alXby-lg07bb4FIxizFIuezi8Svc-J90LJOyyw_A8-BSaOKQ/s400/IMG_5057.JPG" /><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 300px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5575963380256277986" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjT7OuLgVEsfUzJgTzAOW3QKEaW570K5Qs00sSbRexpp-Eyc1n2bioyWiWc_hIEJGcSVx2Ju2Of-INzxAHXuQJAZT5gGSf-9WrWijQIq2qDQ3DKcI8yfoWdkpKBu0fgjTMHLEUqhw/s400/IMG_5055.JPG" />Late nights of dancing lead to long mornings of being tired.

The boat took us to the "Baths" of Virgin Gorda. The Baths (Batholiths) are a huge granite boulder field. There are very few of them in the world and this is the only one on the water. I only put one picture because the pictures really do not do it justice. It is one of those things you just have to see.<img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 300px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5575963389141459554" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgvjHaFSJA-Kz7rnP1N0X9jrch659Woo8OKbdpkq0D01FsLWVMCWPWqHV268IlC2a05oma0y1VyUxXh5xTJ9XUUnC3rVHV3T1KBStGXQGKlfjQJDu5oVCxc97SyWALWMeqKpReQ6w/s400/PICT0041.JPG" />After the Baths we went snorkeling and then had lunch at the famous Pussers Landing on Marina Cay. Marina Cay is a small 6 acre island off the coast of Tortola. One of the distinguishing landmarks is this photo booth out on the dock. This picture comes from a live webcam online that updates every 15 seconds.

The kids are resting up for next year...<br /><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 300px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5575958440069592994" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiPHOoh7JQXiOVTbfqsUteMqAPqKqz-koFJh8kuB2m5guA6xQnIJJ-r2NLH1lDeLx86WALPuY8BYafItrdQ5Xp7npn_h-k4ulfjaW_ClJQ6yPf-hIQ9zAF-be5AAWNoGsWZJKtnVg/s400/DSCF1102.JPG" /> <div><div><div><div><div><div><div><div><div><div><div><div><div><div><div><div><div><div><div><div><div><div><div><div><div><div><div><div><div><div><div><div> </div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36498097.post-45307341782027165212011-01-10T13:37:00.003-05:002011-01-10T13:50:29.005-05:00The big Surprise!<div>My sister called and asked us if we could be at her house at 4:30 on a Thursday for a "surprise for the boys".

It turns out Santa did some by the house and he left some great presents for the boys. They got this awesome little table. Santa even left a note on the table wishing the boys a merry <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_4" class="blsp-spelling-corrected">Christmas</span>.

Let me explain.<br /><br />We came home from the library on a cold fall day. I (mommy) let the boys inside and came back out into the 3 season room to hang up the hats and coats. Everett came running out after me with his ride on truck in tow and closed the door. After hanging up the hats and coats, I tried to open the door up to go back inside and Everett oh so sweetly said, "<span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_0">Mamma</span>, I lock the door so Jack can't get my truck". Sure enough, the door was locked. I not so sweetly said "SH!T", and Everett, in his warning voice said "<span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_1">Mamma</span>, we don't say SH!T in this house". right... Did I mention that Jack (and the dogs) is locked inside? So I run around the house like a lunatic trying to open windows and doors to get inside. No luck, so I take a quick peek in the window and yell to Jack that I will be right back (my cell phone is inside the house right next to my keys). I grab Everett and head to the neighbors house and call <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_2">Clint</span> and my mom. One <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_3">doesn't</span> answer and the other is an hour away (you can speculate as to who <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_4">didn't</span> answer). So then I very calmly call the police and ask if they have a way to pick my lock or break into my house because "my three year old locked my one year old in". After the call, I run back to my house with Everett and wait. The police arrive minutes later with lights <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_5">flashing</span>, but thankfully no sirens. We got not one, but two police and one police supervisor all parked in <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_6">front</span> of my house. They come into the 3 season room and report back to dispatch that they "have a visual on the child". I feel like a total moron, Everett is apologizing and telling me to call Handy Manny so he can let us inside, and the police are trying in vain to break into my house. So they decide (after climbing on the roof, inspecting all the windows and doors, etc) that we should call a locksmith and just wait. So we do - for an hour.....Now you might be wondering what little Jack Jack was doing all alone inside the house and if he was terribly upset by the ordeal. Don't worry, he is just fine. So Jack first finds my phone, brings it over to the window and with a HUGE grin shows it to me <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_7">because</span> he KNOWS he is not supposed to have it. He <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_8">proceeds</span> to play with it for a few minutes before he gets bored and starts banging my beloved Android smatphone on the window. Next he gets in the "off limits drawer", empties it and takes a few pictures with the camera. Our files that we keep next to the desk were next. He threw those papers around with abandon - it looked like new years eve in times square. And last but not least, he found my wallet. He climbed up into his high chair and proceeded to empty its contents, after which he took said contents and threw everything into the trash!! Finally, the locksmith came and he was fantastic. He drilled a hole into the lock and let us all back inside. The police rode off and all was back to normal in the Miller household. The boys had lunch, and while they took a nap, mommy cleaned up the carnage and fished her credit cards out of the trash.Amyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03453969684035085426noreply@blogger.com5tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36498097.post-30222821324491953602010-11-16T20:30:00.007-05:002010-11-16T21:06:31.065-05:00We're Back Baby!!!!<div align="center">So it has been a while (3 months).
