Fun with the Baker kids!

We were able to go and watch Brad and Katrine's kids for a little over a week. Brad and Katrine went to Hawaii, and we partied it up at the Baker house :)

Whelp, you know it was a good week when the kids are tuckered out!!

Holdyn is right at home with her pink fishing pole :)
Avrie strutting her stuff!
Ben spent his time fixing the lines for all of the poles :)

The End of our St. Maarten Vacation

These pictures are all out of order but I had to get them all up :) This first one is us with our good friends Rinaldo and Elizabeth Kasawanajojo. He is the Branch President on the island and we just love them both! They were married while we lived there for school and were really great friends to us! They came by the Hotel to say good-bye the night before we left.

This sight brought tears to my eyes! Ben and I had an
awesome time together, but we really missed the girls and I
cried my eyes out when we saw them!
Thanks to Jason and Heidi for bringing them to the airport to greet us!
Also, thanks to Brenda and Joel, and Grandma and Grandpa Baker for watching
them while we were away!

We are on the plane home!
Sunset beach Bar was our last dinner with friends on the island.
We frequented the infamous Pizza Dan's while we were there and really miss and crave his amazing pizza!!! YUM YUM!!
Had to hit the shopping on Front Street and Rima's before heading home.















We went on an around the island cruise with a group of our friends that were there for graduation. It was awesome! We stopped a few times to swim and snorkel. We also stopped at Pinel island for lunch at a beach bar. It was an awesome day!!!
