From 2011 to 1699

It's time again to celebrate our town birthday, with parties, bands, fireworks, and of course, the reinactment of the 1699 Landing of D'Iberville. Our family again participated as Indians, with Henry acting as Chief of the village.

Didn't you know the Indians wore Maui Jim's?

The Royal Wedding

Some people watched the wedding of Prince William and Kate in their p.j.'s; we recorded it and viewed it while enjoying Afternoon Tea.


Some friends joined us for a spot o' tea...being a royal event, tiaras were required attire!

Easter Sunday

The kids had a fun time at the egg hunt, and Ba Noi and a fun time watching them! Even more fun? Taking turns on the new zip-line! Even some grown-ups gave it a try!

Spring Break 2011

Spring break...a perfect opportunity to hit the beaches of Destin. We had gorgeous weather...80's and partly sunny with a nice breeze. The kids are really getting into boogie boarding, and mom and dad always enjoy the ocean view and sounds of the crashing waves.


Our first day at the beach was the cousins' last. We met up at Grayton beach for some fun in sand and surf, then all went out for dinner at P.F. Chang's.



Even Jenna loved boogie boarding...she complained when the yellow flag was flying that the waves were not big enough. She only likes red flag waves!


Haley really knows how to work it...and caught a lot of great rides.


So relaxed and happy at the beach!


A beach trip would not be complete without sand castles. The girls also built pools and a six-person hot tub. :)

Egg Hunt at the BYC

The Easter Bunny paid a visit to the Yatch Club, and hide A LOT of eggs. Haley and Jenna found about 50 each!
