Trip to Cayman Brac

The Early Chilhood Unit took a trip to see the child care center on Cayman Brac a sister island about 90 miles east of Grand Cayman. We took a 16 person twin otter airplane. It was pretty exciting to be on such a small plane bouncing around over the ocean. On Cayman Brac we visited the center and met the newest member of our team. After the meeting we explored the island including the bat caves, the resorts (all three of them) and took a drive around the island. Cayman Brac's population is about 2000 people; a small isalnd for sure! Little Cayman the other sister island only has about 200 people! R-

Our trip to Starfish Point

We made it to starfish point this weekend with our friends from work. Emily was thrilled to see so many starfish and really enjoyed exploring the sand for shells. Jen and I were thrilled to enjoy a Caybrew (Caymans only local beer) while floating in the Caribbean sea! With the exceptions of some slightly sunburned shoulders everyone had a great time.

Grandma and Papa Visit Cayman

Grandma and Papa (Jen's parents) came for visit. We had a great time going to the Turtle Farm, the beach at Rum Pointe and on a submarine in George Town. R-

Emily is a Fish

Emily has finished her first round of swim lessons and has turned into a fish. We can't keep her out of the water and she can swim the entire length of the pool now. I swear she is growing flippers! R-

Some New Friends

Emily, Jen and I have been busy making new friends here on the island. Chris and Brooke are from Austrailia and they both work for the local newspaper the CayCompass. They have two daughters, Laura (5) and Lilly (2). We have been exploring the island together and having a lot of fun!

Fathers Day 2007

We had a great Father's Day! We went to the Cracked Conch for brunch and explored the beach for sea turtles. In the evening Jen and I shared a bucket of beers on the beach while Emily decided to go swimming in the ocean (in her clothes of course). A great day all around. R-
