It's good to get away

Last week Jon's parents were here

and we took the opportunity to head to

the beach to an all inclusive hotel.

We left from Jarabacoa as the sun was coming

up and I sat perched with "the 5th child,"

my camera, clicking away, happily.

I had to crane my neck to get this out the back window.

HELLO SUNSHINE :)

I meant to make this blurry - really.

My favorite restaurante at one of my favorite

Dominican beaches with the peeps
loving on one another.

She stole that out of my frozen lemonada.

Relaxed Papa

Cheapy cheapy for you, my friend.

Beach vendors trying to coax

Annabelle over to them

I love this guy.

Got a ticket to the gun show?

Some views from the hotel

Jon's dad, Joe, sat sketching this view

to do a pastel.  It's going to be very purdy.

Not too shabby.  

One more thing.  

There was an endless supply

of non-alcoholic frozen drinks

at all times at the hotel - we're talking 

swim up bar in the pool.

Little pickle drank about 5

banana mamas and then

proceeded to puke 5 times in the pool.

She has always been a super puker

and on this occasion she outdid herself.

Jon just kept turning her

in different directions to puke in different 

areas of the pool - all the while laughing hysterically.

Good times!
