Mon. 6/29 - Sun. 7/5

Monday was Mark's birthday! I attempted an ice cream cake with not enough time and really not knowing what I was doing... I knew it wasn't going to go well. I'm not sure why I even attempted! We ended up buying super tasty cheesecake from IGA :)

I went with the kid's to Purple Turtle beach (there is nothing purple or turtle about the beach by the way) with the prep school but I didn't take any pictures.

The kids were awesome to make Daddy gifts and cards with what they had. These binoculars were awesome! Haha! They are sweet kids.

I was afraid this wouldn't be super tasty. We are in Dominica after all. So many things just don't measure up to my hopes. Luckily that was not the case for this amazing cheesecake! YUM! My favorite is the one on the bottom right :)


Thursday the kids didn't want to go on a school hike they had already been on so I let them stay home. It felt like a Saturday. They worked on IXL and played.

I observed this little red bug. It was so red I found it interesting to watch.

Saturday was the 4th of July. We participated in a 5k the Dominican Doc Dash. The kids did the whole thing with us. Expect Emma stayed on the beach with someone watching her.





I love this picture!




Here's a link to the Go Pro video Mark made of our run.


Saturday was also Kid's Fest. It's an event we have every semester typically in conjunction with a holiday. It was the Forth of July this semester. 

Cotton candy! With the moisture in the air it wasn't going to last long so we ate it fast!








Emma loved carrying these water balloons around. They didn't pop very easily.






I love the color these trees sprinkle in the landscape. This one is in an open field we walk through on our way home from church. 


Emma fell asleep on Mark's head on the way home from church. Such a sweet sleepy Lish (nickname)
