Missing Katie Dog

Since coming to Cayman we decided to leave our dog Katie back home. Katie is in the loving care of Jen's parents Stan and Maria. They love Katie almost as much as we do and were kind enough to open their house and their hearts to our "little girl". It was a tough decision to keep Katie back home, but considering our situation, the reality of bringing her to the island, and possibilty of having to evacuate at a moment's notice we decided that a familiar place with a huge backyard and doting grandparents would be in Katie's best interest. We of course miss Katie every day! Jen's parents are visting and they brought us a gift of pictures and video of Katie at play. Enjoy the big lug! R-

Winter Storms

When the winds kick up the seas around Cayman can get rough. When this happens the cruise ships have to move to the southern side of the island to an alternate terminal and all the boats in the George Town harbor move to South Sound to ride out the storm. When the waves start crashing we like to head down to the harbor and check out the show. Just hope this is as bad as it gets as we head into another hurricane season! R-

Cayman Ag. Expo

With little else to do on Cayman the Agriculture Expo is a BIG event. We had a great time exploring all the exhibits and seeing all the animals. Emily's favorite was the little pigs, which was my favorite as well, seasoned with jerk spices and grilled over a wood fire. Rather ironically the livestock stalls were right next to the BBQ vendors; yes, I'd like stall number 22, medium rare! Only in Cayman... R-

Super Bowl Cayman Style

God bless an American tradition! This year we did the Super Bowl cayman style. Our neighbors/landlords build a huge outdoor screen and put up an LCD projector. Nothing beats whatching the Super Bowl under the stars, cold beer in hand and tropical breezes blowing through your hair, well, not my hair, but you get the picture. We had more food than I have ever seen at a Super Bowl party and everyone had a great time! R-

Diving with the Joyces

Chris and I took the Joyce kids for a dive/snorkel experience up at the Cobalt Resort in West Bay. The kids had a chance to breathe off of SCUBA in shallow water and we saw a huge barracuda.

Ce Ce Visits Cayman

Jens sister Corrine is visting us this week. This is her first trip to Cayman and we are showing her all the sites. We all went to stingray city and Emily had her first encounter with our ocean friends. R-
