Okay, to start off, today, Ben and I went to the highly recommended, Good Life Spa, in Maho, for a couples massage. I still feel completely relaxed! It was GREAT!!!
Holdyn has also been giving herself driving lessons. She's getting pretty good. She is probably as good of a driver as most of the St. Maarten drivers, and is MUCH cuter!!
We went for a nice walk last night to watch the sunset, and gather seashells. Holdyn has this thing about eating sand... and as much of it as she can shovel in before her dad or I stop her! Maybe she is low on iron.... I craved dirt when I was pregnant with her, or maybe it really just tastes good. I'll have to try it next time.
The sunset was much prettier than it shows in this picture, but at least you get a little taste. It sure is beautiful here. I'm glad we are having soo much time to enjoy the island as a family with Ben having a 3 week break!
Ben and Holdyn also got one Christmas present a bit early.... a fishing rod. Here is Ben our first evening out. We went near the bridge and we were able to watch some of the mega yaghts come in and out of the bay. They are pretty amazing!
Here is Holdyn helping her daddy reel in a weed. We didn't have much luck that night... BUT, Ben caught a baracuda this morning and has had lots of fish action the last couple of mornings. We are going to go get some tarpon in the next day or two :)
Here is the shot of the boats waiting to enter the bay. It is a pretty amazing sight to see them all lined up. There are a few mega yaghts in the back that you can't really see. Anyway, we're sure enjoying our time with Ben home! We've got lots more fun to have in the next couple of weeks!!!!

Sounds like you are really enjoying your time together as a family that is awesome. Holdyn is a pretty good little driver. They start very young on that island. she is a cutie. You continue to enjoy each other and have a Merry Christmas.
So pretty! Looks like you are having a great time as a family on a beautiful island! Can I say I am a little jealous!!
