Our First Family Vacation... and we all survived! :)





Well... we've gone to Shreveport, but this was our first family vacation where we flew with both kids alone without help.  We all survived, but more than that- we had such a good time!
Our first day was a pool day. Judson LOVES the water and we learned that so does his little sister. 







Our second day, Dad went on a fishing trip. We didn't get any pictures from this excursion because he came back empty handed, but he was glad he went.
Our third day, we all took a taxi to a different beach. It was very pretty and we had a great time. This was the day that Judson snorted ocean water and was snotty the rest of the trip. :)


The next day, we all had enough sun the day before, so we called the same taxi driver to take us on a tour of the island. This was by far, my favorite part of the trip. St. Kitts is a beautiful island and we saw so many neat things and learned so much from our driver.





 We ate a local lunch at this little hole in the wall. And we are all still alive. :)
 We stopped and bought a big ol bag of fresh mangos and a bunch of ginnips for a dollar from a man on the side of the road. Jeremy and the taxi driver enjoyed those.  I ate a ginnip. It taste like a plum, but has the most interesting texture. 



That night, the same cab driver (Anthony) came and got us and took us to eat at a local restaurant on the beach.  The next day was a pool day. That night, Addie girl came down with her first cold. :(
We all had so much fun in St.Kitts and when we took our last trip down in the elevator, we all felt a tinge of sadness to be leaving.

"Dad! These are SWEET!"

Dad had the wonderful idea for us all to go to Edom to pick blueberries this morning.


We headed over to Blueberry Hill Farms in the morning and had a fun time filling up our bucket full of blueberries. Judson caught on quick and loved helping out. He would get ahead of us and yell back, "Dad! These are SWEET!!!"





 Addison rode along in the baby bjorn just bee bopping along and watching all the action. After we filled our buckets, we went inside to have a piece of blueberry crumb pie and a tall glass of blueberry lemonade. Once we left the farm, we had to stop at The Shed and have some lunch. We had such a great time together that we have decided to make it an annual trip!

Having A Little Fun

Judson has been feeling poopy and we've been stuck at home, so we have been having a craft-fest around here. 
Judson made what he calls "The Man." We drew a face on a clay pot and planted grass seed and have been watering it and checking everyday to see if he has grown hair.



Then we made some slime. (equal parts liquid starch and clear glue.)



We tie-dyed a shirt for Judson and of course a matching onesie for Addison!

We saw a king's crown on a cartoon and decided we needed one right away!



We went outside and had a fun time using Judson's birthday gift from Mrs. Jill, but the heat made our fever go up. Boo!



Juddy still isn't 100 %, but we are on the mend!  We have tried to make the best of our house arrest! :)
