Grand Cayman Adventure






At the last minute we decided to spontaneously take a trip to the Cayman Islands. We didn't even decide that we were going to go there until we got to the airport...it was a coin toss between the Redwoods and Napa Valley or the Cayman Islands. Rob's brother had some buddy passes that were going to expire so were fortunate to be able to take the trip to the Cayman's. We had a great time. My cousin David and his wife Shalynna are living there right now so we got to spend some time with them and they showed us around the island and spoiled us with a deliciosu meal (I'm still craving those cinammon rolls). I understand why they extended their stay there because the beaches and water are gorgeous. My brother Riley met up with us too and he watched Sean while we were scuba-diving. We all went swimming with Sting-Rays...even Sean. I know what you are all thinking...Steve Irwin....but these sting-rays are tame so please don't report me to childcare services. Sean did have a close encounter with one sting-ray who splashed him but other then that we were safe and have a fun vacation.

Summer Vacation....beginning with Father's Day




We've been on the go since Father's Day. If Sean had any kind of nap schedule or routine before our travels then that is absolutely terminated now. He did surprise us last night and went to sleep in about five minutes. That is an all time record. What was funny about last night is that Rob went to go check on him and his pj's were off. I told him that was impossible because they go over his neck and have snaps on the pants not the top. Well...our little houdini some how squirmed out of his pj's because all of the snaps were still snapped together. Sean is in the cruising stage right now. He really wants to walk so he cruises from furniture to furniture and loves crawling up the stairs. He actually sprints up the stairs. One of his favorite things to do is begin slowly crawling up the stairs and then he looks back to see if I'm there and then he takes off into a sprint crawl, giggling the entire time.
I thought I would begin with some snapshots from June and then get as far as I can while Sean is sleeping. We spent Father's Day in Mt. Pleasant with Rob's family and it was a lot of fun because his grandpa was there as well.
