St. Kitts

Vacation in St. Kitts
In September we boarded a plane, then took a tram, then boarded another plane, then a took shuttle, then rode on a train, then took another shuttle, then spent a night at an airport hotel, then boarded yet another plane, and finally took a taxi to arrive in St. Kitts in the West Indies a day and a half after we left Phoenix.  The kids did a great job traveling, Shaun did a fantastic job lugging all of our luggage, and besides the fact that St. Kitts is not the most convenient location, it was beautiful!  We spent a week, just the four of us, eating, drinking, playing, and relaxing by the beach.  Yes, when the week was over we pretty much boarded all of the same transportation as before to return home plus an unplanned plane change (since the plane we originally boarded could not get its landing gear to function properly) and made it home safely a day and a half later.  You have to love family vacations and I honestly can't wait for the next one!
 
 Larkin got past her fear of getting dirty in the sand and LOVED playing at the beach.

Our resort had a great kids pool, nice and shallow! 
Brayden had fun lounging in his swim ring.

Sometimes they can be so sweet!

 It is Daddy's turn for a picture.
 
At least some of us looked at the camera. 
Brayden seemed to care more about my necklace.
 
Picture time must have worn Brayden out. 
He crashed as soon as he got to his seat at the restaurant.
 
 Check out that handwriting!
 
 Brayden built himself a birdhouse, or so he said. 
He was pretty proud!

Besides the fact that the train swayed like crazy and made Larkin sick, it was very pretty.
