Grand Cayman - Day 4

Another day, another day on the beach!
 

 
That night we had a dinner event for mommy's work.  We left our camera in Waco :( so we tried for a family photo afterwards in our hotel room.  This was the best we could do!

Grand Cayman - Day 3

The next day we left the compound to run into town but first had to snap a picture outside our hotel!  That morning was a little hazy and rainy....
 
 
But cleared up quickly!! Andrew LOVED snorkeling and exploring the water.  Each day he and David would catch a "pet" which would be a colorful fish that we would return before we left the beach....




Here Andrew found a rock with some sea life on it...
 



Later, we went to see the Tarpin being fed...that was incredible!
 


Grand Cayman - Day 2

We headed for the beach right after breakfast and had a lot of fun in the sun!
 






Here I was trying to get Alyssa to nap while we were by the beach.... I forgot to lather my back while I was laying on my stomach patting her...and paid for it later! YoWseRs!  The Carribean sun isn't to be messed with!


Later by the pool...


Andrew definitely got some sun despite wearing SPF100!  This night, we signed Andrew up for a Cosmic Adventures class through the Jean-Michel Cousteau's Ambassadors of the Environment program.  Here are a few pictures that Alice & Ralph took while Andrew learned from them....




Leave it to Andrew to find a friend! :)

We tried to get Alyssa to take a picture with them...


 
This was the best we could get!
 


That night we were all exhausted from the sun and water... busy, busy day!

Grand Cayman - Day 1

We finally made it to our hotel, the Ritz Carlton ~ Grand Cayman!  What an awesome view!
 



Looking from our balcony...perfection!
 


Heading to Grand Cayman and Alyssa's First Plane Ride!

The morning of August 17th, we boarded the plane in Waco to begin our journey to Grand Cayman....
 
 
This was Alyssa's first plane trip but she wasn't very excited about making a 6 a.m. flight...

 
When we landed in Dallas, our friend who works the control tower in Waco (Jonathan Barnett) had the pilot thank us for flying :)  He said "We know you all have a choice in airlines and we thank you all for flying with us today.  We want to extend a special thank you to the Davlin Family."  Andrew ate that up :)

At the aiport in Dallas, we got the kids out of the jammies and into their clothes....
 


Alyssa still looked sleepy! :)
 

 
Alyssa loved riding in her brother's lap!

 
FINALLY!! The last leg... Miami to Grand Cayman!

Night Before Our Trip!

In August 2012, we had the opportunity to go to the Grand Cayman with ASI Advisors.  The night before we had to grab a few things from the mall and I caught this shot of my 3 loves walking inside... love this! :)
