New favorite


The kids and I went to a new beach on Sat. called La Sagesse. We've been there once before and I think it's our new favorite. It's beautiful. It's in a big bay and has fun waves and is shallow pretty far out. It's perfect for the boys. Yesterday there was a big group of us that went and we all had such a good time. Ezra and Lincoln boogie boarded for hours and played hard. I even boogie boarded for a while and played. Hank mainly hung out in the shade. We missed Aaron being there but that's how it goes. Study study study! Aaron is pretty awesome. There is no way I could be that disciplined. Oh and I'm so bugged, I didn't realize until we got home that our camera lens is dirty so a lot of these pictures are blurry.

Catamaran Adventure


Last Saturday I was brave and took the 3 boys by myself on a catamaran tour to see dolphins and whales. Aaron wanted to go but decided it was better to use that time studying. We only saw dolphins but it was still fun. I had to stay in the back most the time because Hank wasn't loving being in the wrap and the only place I felt comfortable taking him out was in the back.The front was very open and me being crazy, kept thinking of all the horrible things that could happen if Hank wasn't attached to me. I'm going to blame it on post pardum hormones? Ezra was running all over the boat like he owned it. At one point one of the workers told Ezra and his friend Grant to find a place a stay there. Lincoln liked it but at one point got really sea sick and up chucked and started a barf frenzy. One kid saw Lincoln barf then he did then another kid did. Oh man. Barf everywhere!
 In the front of the boat there were these nets you could sit or lay on and see under you. That was Ezra's favorite spot. It was quite rough and at on point the boat hit a wave just right and it soaked Ezra and his friends on the net. It actually lifted them up alittle because it came from under neath. I almost had a heart attack. I was like, well there goes Ezra getting swept out to sea. Of course he thought it was the coolest thing ever. Oh to be a mom to boys:) Anyways, it was fun. I'm glad we were able to go.

annoyed

Nobody likes a negative Nancy but that's not going to stop me. Grenada is killing me!!!!!!!!! We have been without gas for over a week. I cant use the oven or stove and the kids cry every time they get in the shower because it's freezing. Then I got my second ticket today. Yeah, Ive only been here for about 2 months and already have 2 tickets. I'm annoyed. On the bright side, I'm not making another crock pot meal so tonight we will go out to eat and I will enjoy not doing dinner dishes:)

Me and the boys drinking our pomegranate sparkling cider for Valentine's day.

A few things

I've now been in Grenada for a month and a half and in that time I have learned a few things about this place. Some good some not so good.
Good- It's breathtakingly (is that even a word) beautiful!
Not so  good- Bugs bugs everywhere. Big scary, ugly, creepy crawly grossness. Yuck
Good- SGU campus is beautiful
Not so good- Customer service. There is none.
Good- The beaches. Amazing!
Not so good - Everything is crazy overpriced.
Good- Our view. Never thought I would have a view of the ocean.
Not so Good - Dishwashers are unheard of.
Good- Hiking and waterfalls. Do I need to say more
Not so good- Being discriminated against because of the color of my skin
Good- great snorkeling. Crystal clear waters and perfect temps
Not so good- It can get lonely

These are just a few things I've learned since being here. Over all I love it and I'm happy. I'm blessed!
