The Last Time?

With less than two months left on the island, I find myself thinking lately, "Hmmm, this may be the last time I _____ ".  While that is a very exciting thought for some things, it makes me kind of nostalgic about some of my favorite memories on the island- trips to beaches with friends.  Today we went to one of my top 3 favorite beaches, Batibou Bay, and I couldn't help but think that and try to soak it in while I could.  Shane is a big boy now and insists on making the hike by himself.
For every few steps of running there are quite a few moments of stopping to look at things and jump in puddles.
What kind of a mother would let their kid get all muddy like that? :)
A little sneak peak of what we were headed to...
"Watefall!!"
After about 30 minutes (we were on Shane time, it usually takes about 15), we made it to the beach
We were both struck by the beauty and had to just stop and stare for a bit


Our friends Ashley and Emma,
and Ladonna, Haley, and Sam had of course beaten us there and found a good spot for us
And Shane set out immediately to playing in the sand.  Well, he calls it dirt, and you know what, while it is a nicer beach that is a fairly accurate description
Oh, did I not tell you I would be posting a million pictures? 
Whoops.  Now you know.
But how could I leave out any of these cute faces?  Trust me, my camera shoots fast and I already streamlined quite a bit!
After a rainy week last week we were glad it was such a perfect day
And Shane made sure he had explored the beach thoroughly before we left
And while you may not be able to tell it from many of these pictures, I was there too :)  Just having fun with my camera.  Obviously ha ha.

That beach looks so gorgeous! Shane is such a cutie. I understand why you had to post them all. :)

I love being inundated with tons of cute pics! It is so gorgeous there and every time I see Shane, I can't believe how grown up he is starting to look! I guess it's cause he knows he has to start looking like a big brother :) Hope you are feeling well.
