Volume 2 – October 2018

The adventure continues.

We finally got to meet Becca and Tim who had been very helpful in helping us get setup on the island before we came. Thank You Guys! Its awesome to be making new friends on the island!

We spent a full day out at Magens Bay playing with our new snorkeling gear. The boys are really starting to get the hang of this new sport.

Karate has begun. We found a dojo on island that is of a very similar style to what we have all been studying in Wyoming for the past few years.

We moved to Bolongo Bay. This is where we will stay for the remainder of our visit through April.

We bought a JEEP! It is a lot of fun and very interesting when we have to go do a lot of shopping or if it is raining.

I had a birthday, Harley had a birthday and AJ had a birthday this month.

I spent my birthday waking up to a beautiful sunrise and a wonderful dinner at Mims Seaside Bistro.

We took Harley on a deep sea fishing trip for his birthday present. We lucked out and caught six decent sized mahi-mahi. We of course had to practice by catching a couple barracudas first. We followed up our fishing trip with an afternoon at Sapphire Beach for some cocktail and music.

Aj’s birthday began with breakfast at Iggies, which is the restaurant at Bolongo Bay Beach Resort and is walking distance from our condo. Then ended the day with a full moon, night kayaking tour  off Frenchmans Bay. We saw sting ray, sea turtles and other night fish.

 

 

 

 

Boys are doing great in school. Xander got an A for his first essay, which was a memoir and was about his Summer vacation. We are very proud of how hard he is working. Here is a link to his paper if you are interested in reading:

Xander has also taken his first lesson in scuba diving. He dove 40 feet off Coki Point Beach on his first day and seems to really like it.

We ventured back to St. John to check off the next beach on our list. Hawksnest Beach. It was fabulous. Lots of wonderful families. Boys made friends and enjoyed the bit larger waves coming in that day.

Here are a couple of other random photos worth sharing. My favorite is the WY22 License plate we spotted at Island Time Pizza & Pub. We also got a kick out of spotting a funny license plate on a drive. And the Top photo is the view from Mountain Top.
