We had some GREAT visitors here on Thursday! My sister Mindy and her husband Spencer came in on a cruise ship. They were only here for the day... which wasn't nearly long enough... but we sure enjoyed the time we had with them! It was fun to show them around...and give them the condensed tour of the island. They sounded like they were having a BLAST on their cruise soo far. I can't wait to go one one someday!! 
Here we are swimming at one of our favorite beaches... Flamingo. It is close to our apt so we visit here quite often. Holdyn sure loved having her Aunty Mimi here and Uncle Spencer. 
Mindy didn't really want to see what she was swimming over, nor was she comfortable with the snorkel so she and I just did a little "looking" through the goggles. She did get to see a starfish and a few fishies near the shore.
Here is Spencer snorkeling. He and Ben went a ways off shore and did some good snorkeling. They even saw two squid. 
We went to the sunset beach bar for their delicious hamburgers.... except... they were out of hamburger?!? So we switched to chicken and ribs. We only saw a few planes fly in but we did get to see some people get blown to bits from the jetblasts of a plane taking off.
On our quick tour we made a stop at Ft. Louis in Marigot. It is a great picture spot and a good view of the island and bay. Anyway, it was soo fun to have them here! We LOVE having visitors!!!! We can't wait to see the pictures Mindy and Spencer took... we used their camera a lot more. Anyway, we really had fun with them and they are having a BLAST on their Caribbean cruise!!! LUCKIES!

The place you are living is so beautiful! Are there many members out there? Do you plan on staying there a long time?
Hi Holly! To answer your questions... NO there aren't many members on St. Maarten. We have a little branch that we attend. Our church building is small and HOT but hey at least we have a building right?! Also we are here for 10 more months untl Ben finishes up the "in class" part of Medical school then it is on to rotations... maybe in the states maybe in England or Ireland..... only time will tell. Hope you are doing well!!!!
blown to bits eh? how appetizing.
Soooo fun for you guys. I bet Holdyn was pretty happy with Aunt Mindy around. And how cool for her to have a sister on an island that they stopped at!
Looks like you had a great time with Mindy to bad it wasn't longer but that is how cruise ships are they stop in a place for a day and on to the next.
Will you guys have any say in where you go? What type of medicine is he going into?
What a treat to be able to visit with your sister and her husband for a day! Looks like it was a beautiful day for you guys!!!
You lucky girl! I am totally home sick for my sisters now! I clicked on the pictures and made them really big on my computer and St. Maarten is seriously beautiful!!! I want to come visit. Oh, and I am totally sad for you about the no Halloween and no pumpkin thing! I love Halloween. I did see someone carve a watermelon though and it turned out pretty cool (do you have those there?). I bet they don't celebrate Thanksgiving either do they. Wow, sad day. I guess you just have to work extra hard to make the holidays special. Good luck!
Glad that you had a great visit with Spencer & Mindy! How fun to show off your island - I'll bet they were jealous that you get to live on an island in the Caribbean!
We enjoy your blog - keep up the good work!
Give Holdyn a hug from us -
Love, Mom & Dad
so glad to see you had a GREAT time with Mindy and Spencer! I bet they loved visiting! Wish I could come visit! But I am not sure about that in the next ten months!
Looks like you guys had a lot of fun with Mindy and Spencer!
Did I say your daughter's a cutie?!
