The rest of the story...

Here's what filled the rest of our time off the little island:
 So much fun at a play park where rides were about 35 cents per kid!
 Braelyn would ask to "wide ho-sey" every time we left the house after this.  And often when we weren't.
 It was fun watching the girls' eyes light up and hear them squeal.
 We got to play with Legos!  That's new for us and they LOVED it.
 These Love Birds provided their day of entertainment, then earned their freedom with their screeching.
 We reconnected with old friends... and new.
 I just loved how excited B would get every time the truck came to her!
 Traveling the pool circuit, this one definitely was near the top.  
 And it was fun to play with our teammates who also came over for a break from little island life.
 We did head to the mainland by ferry, which was a really big deal for me.  I'm normally not a worrier, but with my own 3 babies, and seeing the throng of humanity pressing onto the boat with us, fears definitely got the better of me for a few minutes.  God's peace and protection won out thankfully.
It didn't hurt that THIS is what first class looked like!  Avery did get pretty sick though, so we hopped on a plane when we were done renewing passports.  

So, Passports renewed, computers purchased for the adult education center, 2 weeks of language school completed and we're back home!  Just in time for the end of Ramadan celebrations and Avery's birthday!

So glad that you had really a good time on our island for a few weeks :-) Change is always good and refreshing. Next time we are hopefully around when you jump over to do some of the fun things together!
