Back from St. Thomas!

So we got back late Saturday night after one full week of the United States Virgin Islands! We had a lot of fun and can you believe it, we didn't even kill eachother!
Here are a few pictures of some stuff we did. If you look close enough in the first picture you'll see Dad, Tim, Matt and I getting ready for our first ever nighttime snorkeling adventure! We spent an hour in the water this night, in the pitch black looking for night sea animals. I think the coolest thing we saw was when we all turned off our lights and stirred up the water we saw biolumenescence (??spelling??). It looked like a rainbow light show in the pitch black water. We saw some tenticles of an octopus (he was hidding from us) and a puffer fish, and a few other things.
There is Matt and Ian swimming in our resort pool, that felt like a hot tub naturally!! Ian was great this trip. After he got some antibiotics from his strep throat the first few days he was great! The last day we were on the beach he even did some kicking in his effort to learn to swim! I think he'll be getting swim lessons this fall.

Here is another cute picture of Ian, waiting patiently on a rock for the day-long sail and snorkel we took! That was fun, we went over to St. John and another small island for some great snorkeling. Saw some pretty cool things!


Here's one of the many beautiful sights we saw this week. Everywhere was beautiful. I'll post a few more pictures of the entire family, but for now I'm being nice to Jill, mom and myself and not posting any swimsuit pictures of us girls. Stay tuned!
