Touring the island

We had a great day snorkeling at three different beaches today. The girls did great! We saw sting rays and sea turtles it was pretty cool. We have to wait for the underwater camera pics to show you that!


We tried to tell Grace that she is going to wonder when she gets older while we have no "normal" face pics of her.

A little break from the snow

We left for St. Thomas yesterday and by the sounds of the weather up there we left just in time. Here are a few photos of our first day.

When we got to the hotel yesterday afternoon. 
Girls in the pool this morning. 
We went to an aquarium this afternoon and this string ray (Raymond) was pretty funny. 
We watched a sea lion demonstration. Omar was pretty cool.

Sledding and skating

We went to the elementary today for sledding and skating with Leyton, Cal, Maggie and Tommy. The kids had a blast and would have stayed longer if we let them.

Grace and Lucy were pretty comfortable on the ice by the time we left.
