Bahama Mommas (& Daddies)!

We've just returned from a wonderful trip to the Bahamas with the Dilworth's and Galimore's. This is our third summer trip with them. We all were married in the summer of 2002 and started a tradition in 2004 that I hope will never stop. We decided to take big trips together every two years. Here's a recap of the places, injuries, and special moments.

2004- cruise to Cozumel; Allyson knocked out cold from a flying bottle of sunscreen; Jay was "lost"; Jenny announced she was pregnant in the car on the way to the ship.

2006- trip to all-inclusive in Cancun; Michael got Mexican stitches above the eye; Brooke fell down steps and twisted ankle; Brooke announced she was pregnant at dinner the night before we left.

2008- trip to all-inclusive in Nassau; no big injuries (finally) just hundreds (literally) of sand fly bites on Allyson and Brooke; no pregnancies (yeah!!).

This trip was special because we all have kids now and appreciate the small getaways more but look forward to coming home to see the reactions of our arrival back from the little ones. We are so fortunate to all have great parents to take care of the little ones while we are away. It eases the thought of leaving them to know they will be in good hands.

The six of us felt like kids again after the water slide rides and trip through the lazy river rapids. We realized we weren't as young as we thought when the zillionth trip up the stairs to each slide got slower with each step. Look at this slide going down the Mayan temple, Brooke was the only girl brave enough to do it. Jenny and I played an important role on the ground as sunglasses and watch holders for the boys. (Yes, it was a very important job!)

Thank you Chip for the serenade of "My Girl" at the piano bar. It was just beautiful! LOL!!
