Well we survived. We are back safe and sound from our second adventure in the Dominican Republic. While I love the expriences and memories we made there truly is no place like home. Coming home to my wonderful house and running water 24 hours a day makes me so grateful for what we have and the country that we live in. I have millions of pics and I might do a slideshow but I wanted to get up a couple of the pictures that sum up our trip. Probably the highlight of our trip was being able to take our special boy Jaquin to spend 2 days with us. His grandma had to take a bus to go get his papers and we volunteered to take him for the time. We thought six adults one child NO BIGGIE, WOW were we wrong. He is a wild child but that is what makes him so special. He has grown up on the streets so when we are like stay by our sides, don't run, be quiet he is like what is wrong with these people. However, we survived the 24-48 hours and will have memories to last a lifetime. We took him to the pool and to the buffet. I don't know if I have ever seen someones eyes light up so big when we said you can eat as much as you want. We told him to never forget the day he was King for the Day and he grinned from ear to ear. I could on and on about the great experiences and the not so great but hopefully some of the pics do the trick. Our random group was a blast and we will never forget our trip!

Looks like you had great fun. Im jealous that you spent time in WARM WEATHER!! What a memorable experience, the boy looks thrilled.
You guys are such party animals!! Scott was telling me about the stress with the flights! How scary. You guys need to keep living it up before babies come into the picture. :)
