Jamaica 2013

Oh my, did we have a great time on Spring Break! The pictures really say it all. Sorry there are so many of them, but it was hard to edit down from the 450 we took over a span of 2 weeks! Thanks again to our ever-gracious hosts and the numerous friends we had the opportunity to spend the time with for making the trip extra special.

By the way, I have multiple videos intended for this and previous posts, but for some reason I can't get them to publish. Hopefully I'll figure out the problem soon...

In the driver's seat
The morning Frances turned five, also Easter!
We woke up the first morning to a man scaling a palm tree in front of our house and bringing down coconuts to drink
Charlie, Frances, Maddie and Hugh
Hugh showing off his Anancy spider (a mascot of Half Moon Resort)
Maddie and Frances had multiple birthday celebrations (Maddie turned six on 3/28), including this one which Brandon planned weeks ahead but that got driven inside due to a day-long torrential downpour.
