Grand Cayman Day 8










Well, we are now home. Yesterday, while you were watching conference we were playing a little and traveling a lot. We packed our bags when we got up, then packed the cars. We then drove to the other side of the island and went to the Turtle Farm. It's basically a Disneyland of sorts for sea turtles. Mom and Dad saw the cost and had very little time, so we said our good-byes and off they went for their long journey home. We stayed at the turtle farm for quite a while. All the kids liked it, but Adin loved it! It was pretty cool to see the turtles up close and personal. You could pick them up and everything as you can see by our pictures. We then ate brunch at the Cracked Conch. Dad, the kids even ate some Conch Fritters and loved them. Then, we made our way to the airport and began a very long journey home. We actually got into our beds at a little past 2am. We were all wiped out. Much to Connor and Preston's dismay, I got them up at 6:30am for school and then Alyson got them to ready and off to school. Adin and Mia slept in. I had to run around to a few places and return a half a million phone calls. Now, we're trying to clean up the mess. We learned a lot on this vacation. It is very expensive in Cayman! It is not a do-over as Dad put it. We loved it very much, but it was crazy how much we spent. The kids loved it though. Adin put on his backpack a few minutes ago and said, "Dad, let's go do a Daddy-date in the Cayman islands!" It's all about the memories and we created some good ones. It was great to be with Mom and Dad as well. It will now take me a couple of weeks to catch up on the work I've delayed, but in the end it was worth it.

well it looks like we missed a great final day. We really do appreciate the opportunity to vacation with you and your family. It was a lot of fun to enjoy the kids and see their excitment over all the stuff.
It was a long journey home, but even though we had a 4 hur lay over in Miami, it appears we got home easier than you. Thanks so much and now it's back to the routine, until tending time. love dad

Oh I would have loved to see the kids with the turtles! It even looks like Adin kept his glasses on to get "up close and personal" It's a good thing we did leave when we did, the lines were so long at the airport we didn't have that much time. Again, we appreciate so much the opportunity to vacation with your family. We love you!

I just love the way that Adin seems to be studiing those turtles. Great shots. I see that Mia likes the flowers best!
