around grenada
Our boat doesn't go back into the water until Sunday. In the meantime we've been checking off some boat projects, visiting some of our favorite places and doing lots of swimming.

we're back
After months away we are finally back in Grenada! These last couple months have been full of lots of highs and lows. We had fun catching up with our friends, the girls learned some tough lessons about relationships and we visited a lot of really amazing places. After two very

we made it!
We were so excited when we boarded the plane! Soon after they made an announcement that we were waiting on the pilot and they weren't even sure if he was legal to fly since he was coming off another flight. Luckily everything was all good and we were

farewell grenada
Lots of work goes into leaving a boat for an extended amount of time - filling tanks, flushing toilets, washing and vacuum sealing clothes/sheets/towels, propping up mattresses. The check list goes on and on. It took us several days, but I think we got it all done. We&

yesterday was a long day
Yesterday was Emma's turn... she got to see her 4th grade class! She was so excited and couldn't stop talking about seeing her teacher and her class. One of the hardest things for the girls has been leaving their friends. I'm so, so happy

seven sisters
Today was the day to cross another waterfall off our list. We saved this for last because it is the hardest to get to. There are actually seven waterfalls (hence the name Seven Sisters), but three through seven are more difficult to get to. The path was pretty muddy and

beach and bingo
It was a beautiful day for a beach day. Last night we went to one of the other marina restaurants for dinner. Turns out Tuesday is trivia night. The girls really wanted to play... and surprisingly they are pretty good at it. Fun fact - Olivia named our trivia team

can't stand the rain
Fun fact - Grenada has two seasons: dry season (January to May) and wet season (June to December). It's not quite June yet, but the rain has started. We were cooped up for two days on the boat while it rained pretty much all day. As a bonus.

chocolate fest
This week was the Grenada Chocolate Festival. Saturday was family day. There was a make your own chocolate ball station, painting, face painting and kids yoga. We ran into a couple other families we know, so the girls had a great time with some friends. Fun fact - Grenada is
