February '06 family activities

Aimee had fun trying to climb this tree.

We were spoiled by having breakfast delivered to our front porch!

These kids played so hard the whole weekend, and had so much fun.

When we arrived at the hotel, they gave us all a glass of juice…Larissa’s was gone pretty fast.

Caitlyn trying on the snorkeling equipment before the weekend.

We could hardly keep Larissa out of the ocean. She loved it!

Caitlyn is having tons of fun with Papa Yutzy!

Sierra was reading a story to Papa.

Using these rings was a new experience for Aimee and Sierra.

"Our" beach.

Caitlyn dressed up for her school carnival.

We had a great time making these Valentine’s cookies as a family.

December activities with our visitors

Aimee at the Indian Ocean

Grandpa showed the girls a starfish.

The beginning of our rainforest hike.

 

A “real” lemur in the “real” rainforest. (Not a zoo or farm, in other words!)

 

 

Larissa’s first experience with spaghetti.

 

 

Dad could hardly handle the intensity of this canoe trip. (Do you sense my sarcasm?)

 

 

This was lots more fun than I expected it to be.

 

 

The lemurs in this park were quite comfortable with people.

 

 

Sierra loved seeing the lemurs up close.

 

 

Larissa was less than impressed with the friendly lemurs.

 

 

Larissa, ready to play!

 

 

In case you forgot what we look like.

 

 

Dad really enjoyed our grilled seafood feast on the beach.
