DeEtta recognized a few extended family members in some of the pictures and she asked who all came on vacation with us. The short list of who is here with us is my parents, my brother, and the “L” family – homeschooling friends of ours from home.

Grma & Grpa C are known to Tater as the Grandma & Grandpa who play with the trains (LOL). We keep trying to get him to call them by Grandma Jan and Grandpa Jim, but he prefers Grandma who plays with trains (or not) and Grandpa who plays with trains (or not). – LOL….

They don’t enjoy water sports as much as we do, but they are good sports about going along and hanging out with us on vacation. Above, they are enjoying a stroll along the beach.

One night they went to the South Pacific musical which they said was good. They thought it would be nice to see it here on the island where it was filmed.

Before we left home, my mom ran into some friends of ours and found out they were going to be on this same island for some of the time we are here. We met them for dinner one night and had an enjoyable time catching up with them. They are associate pastors at one of the larger churches in our home town area (perhaps the largest one). It was fun to hear what all they’re doing in their various areas of ministry. She is in charge of security as well as other things and he’s in charge of lots of areas. It was too dark to get a good picture of them.

My dad likes to stick close to the shade so above he’s watching the kids swim from shore underneath the shade of a palm tree! He’s been having fun with the boys watching whales from their condo’s patio.
