Lake Footage

We love the LAKE!!!

We really do. We've been there JUST ABOUT every weekend this summer. The below are from a couple of trips. I'll post videos on the next one.

We're always glad when the Purdy's get to join us! Look how pooped Rylan looks. We really tend to mess up the poor kid's schedule when he's there. But he's such a trooper and a really good sport. And he loves me.....just sayin'.....



We always get to run into family while we are down there which is AWESOME. And we love to go and play at the 'Sandy Beach'.

It's also fun to go to the other side of the lake occasionally and enjoy lunch at Sunrise Marina.

Happy Anniversary

May the next 4 be as good as the last.

Goodbye St. Lucia

Our last day, we didn't have to leave the resort until 11:45, so we had time to play on the beach one last time.


I did get knocked over once. Luckily not this time.

Shot of our resort from overhead as we were leaving. Our last glimpse of paradise.

And as soon as we got back to the Hewanorra airport, we were smacked in the face with the reality of how horrible the trip home was going to be. So long paradise, and back to the real world.

St. Lucia - Day 5

On our last full day we decided to try out the Sandals Grande, a different Sandals resort on St. Lucia. If you stay at one you can play at all three resorts on the island. The beach at the Grande was a lot calmer than the beach where we were staying because it is up in a cove. So, we decided since the water was so much smoother we would try our hand at sailing. Or rather, I begged Len to take me on one of the little boats, and he finally caved :).

The Sandals guy gave us about a 10 minute lesson, snapped a shot of us before he got off, and then sent us on our way. Which is terrifying considering how easy it is to flip one of these things.



Way to go boat driver! He was so scared.

Sailing, sailing (isn't there a song that goes like that)

Then we spent the rest of the day laying out on the beach.

Look closely in the middle of this picture to see my little friend. He would come out every once in a while to make sure we were still there.

Then that night we went and had dinner at Kimono's, the japanese restaurant on the resort. It was pretty much a St. Lucian version of Benihana.

Except they set our plates on fire. That has never happened to me at any other hibachi grill!

Then we turned in early, dreading our long trip home the next day.

More Day Four

Some pics from around the resort, and dressed up that night for dinner.

St. Lucia - Day 4

One word: ZIPLINING!!!!!!



All geared up and ready to go! I know, I know, the hairnets are adorable. It was to keep our hair from getting caught in the pulleys, so we gratefully accepted them.

Walking up to one of the platforms.

You can barely see Len, but at least it's a good shot of the scenery.

Bamboo

Len did much better than me with the camera. He even got a couple of videos. First you'll hear a loud 'whirring' noise and then you'll see me come in. It was really scary at first, but once my nerves settled it was a lot of fun!

About half way through the course. There were 11 lines and 19 different platforms I think. Tromping through the rainforest to get from one platform to the next was HARD WORK!

Stop off after ziplining. Supposedly there is a woman lying down and some sort of lion and sea creature you can see in the rocks. It was lost on me.

Look how different this sheep looks!! I've heard of ba-ba black sheep, but black and brown! That's just crazy.
