I’m backing up here from the beginning … The girls get two weeks for spring break and we usually take the first week somewhere (Mexico is our favorite), and then the second week in the Exuma house (because Curt’s sister has it the first week of spring break).

This year we’ve invited our friends to the Exuma house for the second week and weren’t sure what to do for the first week.  The Maki family were going to stay at the Four Seasons on the island for the first week, so we decided to spend our week there too.

We arrived the day after Easter to rain, wind and a forecast that looked grim for the week ahead.  The photo above of Hunter was when we first arrived … the hotel had the girls names spelled out in little sponges, along with a little stuffed animal for each of them.

The weather on our second day was “iffy” … no sun, very windy and cold.  The sun came out for our last hour at the pool and burned us all (minus Curt & Hunter) to a crisp!

The rest of the week brought us sunshine and tons of pool time!  I’m so amazed at how far Wynter has come in her swimming skills … this is officially the first trip we’ve taken that I can say she is an independent swimmer.  Pretty cool …

This afternoon we moved over to the house, just in time for appetizers and dinner!  It’s so relaxing to be here.  The Dudleys & Beckers will join us tomorrow.  Odinn gets in tomorrow too (he missed his flight today), and Skye comes in mid-week.
