Happy First Birthday Aubrie

 Aubrie wasn't real sure of the whole deal and it was a little exciting because we were talking to Allan on the computer so she was a little overwhelmed.  Hence the bottle so that she would be okay. 

 Then she found some interest with the flame this is after Alex and Trinity blew their candles out.  I think she even burned herself just by trying to grab the flame.

She loved trying to eat it and flip it.  So much fun being one.  All kinds of things to explore and learn.

Aubrie has been a blessing in our lives.  She has taught us so much even when we thought that we knew it all because of the first 3 but it is amazing of all the things that we have learned.  Full of energy and so smart.  You already know when you shouldn't do something and you give us the look of I know but I am going to do it anyways.  Trinity and Aubrie will have a great time together and I look forward to all of the fun.  Donovan will always want to protect his little sister and Alex will always keep you out of trouble.  We love you Aubrie.  How time flies.  She took her first steps on her birthday!

Princess Cays

 The last island we went to was owned by Princess Cays.  It was a cloudy day so not as warm but less of a worry for sunburns.  We had to take boats to the island.

Snorkeling was the best here.  Some great pictures with these mask and some great sight seeing.

It wasn't as fun to swim here but the kids did get brave and go out there for a little bit.  Aubrie wasn't having this place as much as the first.

Hanging out!

John trying the goggles.  Alex never liked the orange one but it like the ones grandma brought and wore them everywhere.

Watching Linzie and Allan snorkeling.  They loved throwing bread and nuts to the fish to see if they could see the animals.

Allan said it was awesome.  I couldn't do it or even try due to the fact that I get to closterphobic (not sure of spelling)

Looking for shells while everyone watched snorkeling.

Trinity loved the goggles.  I told you great pictures.  Then we had a great family picture.  It was fun a little cold but well worth going.

St. Thomas

 Next port was St. Thomas.  We skipped the beach this day and went searching for Pirates.  It was a hot humid day, a long hike, but cool things to see.  This is Blackbeards castle.  It was said that he had 22 wifes or something like that.

 What a view. Very pretty to be able to see all the ships.  I could live on an island for a while I think.

 This is towards the end do we look hot and tired!

 Alex and John loved hanging out together. Silly boys!

I just love her hair.  Pizza after a long hot day and some wild hair.
