Spring 2009

A day at Mystic Seaport with friends....

                                             

 Spring vacation Day 1

We started at Boston Children's Museum the night before our flight out of Logan

Isn't Boston awesome?

Day 2:  St. Thomas

We flew into St. Thomas saturday, walk over the hill to the beach where my parents are waiting with the dinghy to take us to the boat.  Not a bad taxi.

Easter Egg Hunt Sunday Morning;

Bet you didn't know the bunny could swim?

Later that day we took about a 4 hour sail to St. Croix.  

Poor Riley got seasick on Easter. 

A fort in Christianstead Harbor

One of the many ruins on the island.  Many old sugar mills and then came the rum :)
This one was occupied by quite a few tortoises. 

 Riley and one of them were checking each-other out.
My father feeding the local beer eating pig.   It was non alcoholic of course... totally nasty.
Hermit Crab races at Cheeseburgers Restaurant.   You get to pick a crab and name it.  They tape the name on the back of the crabs, then tip the bucket of crabs over.   They gave prizes for the first few over the yellow ring.   Riley's crab one a gift certificate to a restaurant!

Four dolphin friends decided to swim along side the boat for a while.  They were checking out the snorkeling humans before that.  So awesome!

That was the last day of our trip.  We flew out of St. Croix on a tiny seaplane back to St. Thomas.   We had such a great week.

Opening day for Alex's T-ball.  He is #7.  

This was the best picture I could get, we were so far away.

That night was Riley's 1st grade Ladies Choice Dance.  

Someone was pretty exited.
