Our Dynamic Life

Puerto Rico Day 3

Today after Jon and Michelle did their workouts we all got in the cars and took off to San Sebastian to see some really beautiful waterfalls and go swimming.

Maia checking out the waterfall.

This waterfall had a cool rope swing and it was quite fun to use.

Michelle going for the plunge!

Jon's turn...

Maia and Sean checking out the action.

Just hanging out.

Poor guy didn't want to let go of the rope.

I've always wanted to go under a waterfall and it is not as glamorous as people make it look, especially with a sunburn.

So in this picture I posed behind the fall so the water didn't slap my burnt shoulders

Sean cooling his feet.

Poor guy got didn't want to climb back down because he got stopped by a snake.

beautiful flowers at the top of the trees.

Family pic.

Jon playing horse.

Maia was so tired she feel asleep on our way down to the second

Boomer and Jon climbing the rock to jump in.

On the way home the kids were beat and Sadie fell asleep and landed on Maia's car seat. Maia thought her hair was lots of fun to play with.

Dinner time!

Tonight after dinner we took Maia swimming for the first time. As you can see she loved it!!! I'm glad we have a water baby :)

Today was a day spent on the beach. Uncle Jon spent some time in the morning teaching me how to get up on a surf board in the pool. It didn't go to bad but after a little bit I was ready to get into the ocean!

So we put on sun screen and headed out to the beach. Our little beach babe!

Surfing for the first time. That is me with the yellow surf board.

I was able to get up a couple of times which was great. (me with my arms up in the air)

Me falling.

Maia has loved getting so much attention and loves her cousins!

It seams like they love her too!

After the beach we just hung out for a while and I went to the store with Michelle. I was surprised at the prices of things here. It is pretty expensive but i guess that is what you get when you live on a island.

While we were at the store I noticed that my skin was getting pretty warm, it ended up that even though I had put on 110 spf I got scorched! That is what i didn't want to happen. But oh well i'll have to deal with it. Tomorrow we are going surfing again and also going to see some waterfalls. My camera is fully charged so hopefully we'll have more pictures. :)

Puerto Rico Day 1

Getting up at 3:00 am in the morning isn't usually my idea of fun but today it did serve a purpose. We were up, out the door by 3:45 and on our way to the airport. The three days before consisted of packing and cleaning and getting ready for our trip to Puerto Rico! Well by 3:15 Maia had woken up which was perfect and allowed me to be able to feed her and get her into her car seat with out to much trouble. She was a gem because she slept the whole way to the hotel where we parked our car. We got to the hotel at 6:32 and just missed the shuttle so we had to wait till 7 for the next one. That made me a little nervous because our flight was to leave at 8:17 and I didn't know how long it would take us to get through the airport.

I was a bit nervous going through because since we took the stroller we had to take elevators and put it through security but I will say it was nice having the stroller so we didn’t have to carry her everywhere. We made it to our gate in time to be one of the last people to load. It was perfect. That way we didn’t have to be confined to the plane while waiting for people to load. Well once we got on the plane Sean took his dramomine and then he was out. I started feeding Maia and then she was out. It was quite pleasant. We had a whole bench to ourselves which was nice. Our flight was about 3.5 hours long and we landed in San Juan Puerto Rico.
