Ice Day

I love you, Texas! The three of us are spending the day at home because EVERYTHING is closed for the snow, ice, and wind.

I hope you are enjoying your Tuesday as much as we are!

Jamaica Videos

I've been so preoccupied with sorting through and editing pictures, I completely forgot to share some of the videos we took. Hope you enjoy.

Montego Bay, Jamaica as we arrive at the port after 2 full days at sea

After snorkeling in Jamaica, Micah and I danced in the sunshine.

Micah has a new thing for guitars and pretending non-guitar items are great musical instruments. I've even caught him lifting his shirt and strumming on his belly. I think he was a little embarassed that I caught him pretending his sand shovel was a guitar in this video.

Kissy Kissy

Down in the Caymans is it said that if you kiss a stingray, you'll have 7 years good luck.

All three of us puckered up!

If you look closely in the video below you'll see Micah kiss the stingray again. He's not afraid of stingrays, but he doesn't like to play with Chuck-the-dumptruck by himself. Go figure.

The Most Gorgeous Beach

I think Grand Cayman had the most gorgeous beach I've ever seen and experienced. On each vacation Tom and I take, we always find ourselves talking about where we want to go on our next vacation. The Cayman Islands are definitely at the top of both of our lists. It is just beautiful down there. Pictures can't describe how wonderful this place is.

Look how crystal clear the ocean is down there.







Very peaceful waters with very little waves.












Yep, we'll be back. That's for sure!

Dinner Time!

Sometimes you gotta do what you gotta do to keep a little boy entertained until his food arrives.

Ok, so coloring works too.

More From Jamaica

As I mentioned in a prior blog, I took over 1,000 pictures last week, so I'm trying to consolidate the better photos into collages to help me post everything a little quicker. I hope you enjoy them.

After snorkeling our catamaran dropped us off at Margaritaville for a very short time. We were welcomed with shots.

In the short time we were in town near Margaritaville, we managed to stock up on this stuff.

Our excursion ended a little after lunch when the boat drove us back to the port where the ship was docked. The clouds started to roll in and we enjoyed the rest of the afternoon on the balcony of our stateroom while Micah napped through the rain storm. Luckily, this was the last of the rain we encountered on our trip.

We Be Jammin'

The night before we arrived in Jamaica Tom and I dropped Micah off at Camp Carnival and enjoyed a nice dinner date together to celebrate Tom's 29th Birthday!

I love you, Tommy!

Land Ho! By the third day at sea, we were thrilled to see land, the beautiful island of Jamaica.

We can't go anywhere without a car.

Micah enjoyed swimming with the "fisheys".

Let's be honest. I was a little nervous taking Micah snorkeling with us, plus he hasn't been swimming since some time last August. As we were climbing down the ladder into the clear blue ocean, Micah kept saying, "go swimming". He was excited. The water was cold at first but after a couple of minutes of kicking we were just fine. Micah got salt water in his mouth once and fussed for a moment, but he shook it off like a big boy. The poor little guy was a trooper and didn't complain once about the bulging pamper that was soaking up a large portion of the ocean. Tom and I were so excited about snorkeling that we forgot to change him into a swimmy diaper before we jumped in.

More from Jamaica tomorrow. Later Taters!
