Part 2. Maybe more?



Ben loved coconuts. Charlie was sick, sunburned, and bug-bitten the whole week. We visited two very nice pharmacies. An iguana almost fell on Ben's head when we were "visiting" a pool. Katie had moments of irritability.

Andy kept everyone happy and made friends with the neighbors up the street when our rental car was "vandalized." (The bumper was smashed in before we got it, but we didn't notice until after he hired the neighbors up the street to fix it... then we had a flat tire... they shared some good times and cold beers while Katie and the kids played Curious George Scrabble.) We drove with the top down.

Breakfast on the deck.
Ben made up elaborate games such as Guess how much money is under this? During those games he would say things like, "I put the dolphin on the Mexican girl's picture because I know that they love dolphins."

We saw many striped and swizzled fish. Sass would have freaked out because they swam so close to our legs. Some saw stingrays and turtles.

Many sandcastles. Many articles and chapters in books. Many beach running races and "jump before the waves get you" races.




The boys watched many classic cartoons such as Bettie Boop and Popeye while we grilled dinner and danced. We woke up to sound of the mosquitoes and waves.
