Maho Bay

In the fresh, ocean air, headed to St. John.
The ocean view from a pavilion at Maho Bay Camps, where we stayed.
Home, sweet home.
  
One of the boys' favorite pass-times other than the beach: collecting hermit crabs.
A little history with a hike to the nearby remains of an old sugar cane plantation.
Daniel wasn't shy about the ocean, or the camera.
 
Some days were a little too much fun in the sun for Chase.
No fear about our new friends, the iguanas.
Favorite beach snack was definitely the hot dog, followed by smoothies.
No one could get enough of silly, Auntie Jen.
Thanks, Pop Pop, for a memorable trip to St. John.

Daniel's First Invention

Daniel made an invention yesterday to automatically close the baby gate. The day before making this invention one of his younger friends fell down a few stairs while at our house.

He came up with the idea and made it all on his own.

You can see a video of his invention in action.
