Grand Cayman Vacation 2012

These two love each other so much!

She wasn't too sure about something!!

The Cincinnati airport had this cool play area for the kids to use while we waited for our flight.

Headed to Cayman!

Love Annie's smile.

Looking over the beautiful Caribbean Sea.

One very sleepy little girl after a long morning of flights.

Perfect big chair for a nap!

Annie LOVED the fountain at Caymana Bay.

As did her big sister.

We have been blessed with an abundance of campus kids. Every summer, they block off one section of the parking lot so the kids can ride their bikes, scooters, roller blades, etc., there. Aubrey and Annie have loved playing with their friends at the parking lot. We decided this year, to have a little "parking lot party" so the kids could have one last hurrah before the students came back (taking our parking lot play area). I think everyone was able to come that beautiful day, and they had a great time. We served popsicles, cookies, rice crispy treats and drinks.

Here is sweet Emily and her worm. Just seconds before this picture, she had stretched the thing out as far as it would go (I didn't see it, thankfully!! Yuck!!). Her Momma had her take it to their "garden" and leave it be. Wonder if it survived the great stretch?! Haha.

We are thankful that Brian's accident wasn't any worse than it was! He took a little tumble over the wall (before our party) and this is what he was left with.

It was so nice spending some time with my Grandma Nichols' brother and his wife. Not something we have been able to do a whole lot of, and we really enjoyed it!
