St. Maarten more pictures


Olivia made lots of friends on this trip.  This couple from Tobago was so patient and sweet to her.  Napping doesn't get better then the picture below.  Poolside, at the beach, in the shade with Mimi.  Mom loved it too.

How this woman wore this sweatshirt in the carribbean sun I don't know... but she did.  Every day.  She came asking if we wanted our hair braided but instead Mom asked her to pose for a picture. 

My men in the pool.  Gavin looks like he is getting ready to plant a big kiss on his Dad doesn't he?


We took an early morning road trip to the French side of the island and came across this restaurant row right on the water.  Getting there early meant that we were there to watch them preparing all the food for the day.  Everyone sitting around peeling potatoes and peeling shrimp, cutting up chickens and making lots of sides.  The best part about it was that when we got off the boat a few hours later we got to eat lots of this good food we saw being prepared.

Smoke, smoke and more smoke as everyone fired up there grills and smokers.



Olivia made yet another friend.  Kids are kids all over the world and even with a language barrier they still have fun.


The boat we took out to the reef holds several people on the upper deck but the real surprise is that once you get out there you go below deck where the walls are all glass and you get to see all of the fish, turtles and coral as the boat makes it's way around.





Below is our lunch being prepared.  Mike and I had the lobsters and then I had the snapper and he had the ribs.  Mmmmmm.







(note the tray table...hee hee)
