Bought this flower necklace that I'm wearing in St. Thomas
Grammy's such a great sport when her daughter-in-law asks her to put a hat on so I can take a picture. She's so fun!
Cassidy wanted to join in on the fun!
Cassidy found some shade
Piranha is hungry
Our Family in Paradise
Instead of excursions, we decided to go to the beach. Since when do we get to go to the beach in Colorado? We had so much fun at the beach in St. Thomas, we wanted to do it again. Instead of taking a taxi, we took the 15 minute walk outside of the port. I loved all the palm trees.
My little Iguana
We found more places to shop, near the beach. We also found a Haagen Dazs and bought some strawberry cheesecake ice cream. Yum!
Aye Matey!
All we need is a hammock
Hair Braiding, part of the experience of going to the islands
Towards the end, Cassidy had enough with the hair braiding
Our ship in the background and my cute 'Lil Island Girl
Water felt so refreshing! Aunt Katie let us take her floatie with us on our trip and Cassidy really enjoyed that. Especially riding the small waves to shore. She couldn't stop giggling. I loved watching her excitement!
Beach Bum
Jumping off the pier for fun. Daddy sat in the shade on this pier as he watched his girls swim.
Derek also walked around the area while Cassidy and I went swimming and took some more pictures
Took a taxi boat back to the pier to get back on the ship. But before we did we bought some T-shirts and a fun frame from the stores at the port. Cassidy fell in love with an iguana stuffed animal, so we had to get that too. She named him "Beanie". The rest of the time on the ship she took him everywhere with her. It was funny to see other children with stuffed animals from Kung Fu Panda, or Mermaids, Dolls, etc but not Cassidy. I love my girl who loves dragons, dinosaurs, and iguanas, oh and cheetah's.

Oh it brings back memories....we loved that island when we went a few years back. We did the same thing....beach and shopping. Did you see the ladies with all the hats on their head walking the beach trying to sell them? An umbrella and a chaise lounge was all we needed at that port. Oh I want to go again!
i think it is so neat you took your daughter with you!
I'm behind in checking these photos out and going in reverse order but they look so cool and it looks like you had tons of fun! :)
