*Mon. 7/6 - Sun. 7/12

Eating noodles on the balcony.

Emma and her island twin Savannah.

Cooking with Daddy.

Thursday St James field trip hike - pretty steep
Kari adores the new teacher at the prep school. Crush!

Crossing the river over the sidewalk.

Isaac was so happy to find this thing to play with. He soon regretted ever touching it!

Ouch!! It was perhaps from sugar cane or a couple other possibilities I can't remember. If you run your hand along it the wrong way it put lots of little pokies into your skin. They used tweezers to pull them out.

Beautiful view!

Head trail for one of the segments for the Waitukubuli trail. I want to go adventuring down there sometime.

Goat hangout

These 2 both had...interesting beards.

Friday presentations Kari was singing a ocean song loud and clear.

The kids had a new teacher that will be teaching them about media. She worked for Universal Studios I believe (or some name that is very recognizable). These were part of a public service announcement idea before they filmed it. I think it's pretty cool she's going to teach them about the media.

After school RSO had an ice cream social. It was AMAZING!! I thought so anyway! There was ACTUAL ice cream. A friend brought little brownie bites and I made an amazing hot fudge sauce. I had those with vanilla ice cream and some almond pieces on top and I was in heaven! Brownies and ice cream together is my favorite dessert. Anything yummy added to it is a bonus!! No pictures. I ate it all! Just kidding! I wanted to though! ;)

Saturday free RSO trip to Salisbury Beach

Lexi was the queen in a game and this circular creation was her throne. She loves being in charge.

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.
