The start...

We were so excited to start our three week vacation with Monty. To start it off we were able to attend USESOM's fifth term graduation as a family. The dean asked the fourth term students to help out. Monty was asked to MC the evening. He did a great good job keeping the mood light with jokes and moving things along. We look forward to his graduation in 3.5 months.

Next stop the Boardwalk. Believe it or not after being on the Island for over 8 months Monty has never been to the boardwalk. The kids were excited to show dad, and ride their bikes in the wide open spaces. I love going to the boardwalk and looking at the cruise ships, they are such grandiose structures and make me feel so small in comparison.

On saturday we got to witness another baptism at sea. This one was preformed at Le Galion. A favourite beach of ours not he French side. It was beautiful, the baptism started at 8am and the talks and songs were sung right on the beach. What a wonderful experience I had as I felt the spirit as I watched 9 year old Bertina be baptized. Since it was Good Friday after the baptism, we changed into our beach clothes and enjoyed a full day of BBQ, volley ball and swimming. By 4 o'clock the kids still didn't want to leave. We had a great day, yummy food and better company. Good Friday is a very popular day for locals to camp on the beach. I have never seen so many people at the beach before. 

Monty turned 35! We went to the Marigot pier, Layla's, had naps and I threw a little party that evening with our friends. 

Nettle Bay on the Caribbean side.

Layla's has a great playground and the view is not bad either.
