Beach Days, part 2

Did you know that you can drive from one side of the Island to the other in under an hour - even when you follow the speed limit.

Funny story - on the first day we were driving to Mimi and Pop's house (there is a great debate over who the house and beach belong to but I will not take sides) it seemed to take forever. Especially with  Jude and Haylyn asking every 5 seconds if we were in the Cayman Islands yet (they held the belief that we were not in the Cayman Islands yet because we were not at the house yet) and could we swim in the ocean.

Here is the conversation and events that followed:

Haylyn: "Mimi are we there yet?"
Mimi: "Almost."
Haylyn: "Can you drive faster?"
Mimi: "We will be there soon."
Haylyn: "Drive faster Mimi."
Mimi speeds up and says, "ok."
Haylyn: "How much longer? Faster! Faster! Faster Mimi!!!!!"
Mimi goes faster yet, "is that fast enough?"
Haylyn: "No. Faster Mimi."

At this point we look up and see a police car parked on the side of the road. We are waved down and the police woman proceeds to inform Mimi that she was driving to fast. Mimi, extremely thankful to not be driving her car with Cayman plates and thankful to not be asked to show her drivers license which is in fact a Cayman license gets off with a warning (because she is obviously a tourist) to please drive slower. Mimi pulls back on to the road, driving significantly slower.

Haylyn: "Mimi, did you get a ticket?"
Mimi: "No."
Haylyn: "Mimi, why did you get in trouble?"
Mimi: "Because you made me to go faster."
Me: "But remember Haylyn nobody can make you do something you are not supposed to do."

Bwhahahahaha!

Mimi had a friend make these adorable shark slippers, the kids were excited about them until Chad asked them to take a picture.

A friend of my parents brought us a Wahoo fish and cut it into stakes for us.

Looking at the iguana. Can you spot it?

Haylyn helping Asher. She is too sweet! Going to make a great big sister!

Haylyn reading to Jude. She is so smart we read this book once and just by looking at the pictures she was able to pretty much re-tell the story. Love that little girl.
