Our First Family Vacation
















Well, we had to get the first stamp in Elizabeth's passport! And, though AnnCatherine wasn't nearly ready for a bathing suit, we jetted off to Grand Cayman. Elizabeth is definitely in the right family - she did great on the plane! She loved her new swimsuit and inflatable pool and doing her first limbo contest with Daddy. She felt the ocean waves for the first time and loved taking her naps with Grandpa Dave on the patio in the shade. And, on April 23rd, she turned 6 months old!!! We went to Libby's first cultural event - a local Cayman storytelling contest called Gimistory. It was definitely mostly locals which we love, but our lack of knowledge of Caribbean dialects made it a little different to follow at times. There were small craft warnings out several of the days which prevented the dive boats from leaving on our side of the island, but at least Jarod and AnnCatherine got to dive together one day. Thanks to Grandma and Grandpa Downing for sharing the timeshare week....

There are too many good pictures that just have to be shared, so Jarod is going to post a blog link to Picasa very soon. But enjoy the preview pix above...

Sounds like a great time! I can't believe Elizabeth is 6 months old already. She has grown so much since the last time we saw her!
