JAMAICA!!

This January we had the privilege of going on a trip with my family to Jamaica.  We were a big group of ELEVEN people.  It was the first time our children flew in an airplane too!  Luckily it was wonderful and we all wish we were still there!

Getting close to Jamaica!!

The whole bunch

Jamaican countryside

Breakfast at the coral cafe.  I loved their vanilla french toast.

Hanging out by one of the pools

The Jade Samurai, a teppanyaki style restaurant

Amara enjoyed the infinity pool because it was only 2 feet deep.

Pizza at Court Jesters was delicious!

Our room's patio.

There were hibiscus flowers all over the resort.

The boys loved hanging out at Jaspers bar.  

Maddox loved his frozen lemonade and Sprite.  I think that may be what he misses most about Jamaica, well at least how easy it was for him to get.

Amara loved the strawberry smoothie.  They had slushy machines at all the bars.

Hammocks!

The Jewel wedding chapel

The sunset was beautiful!

PING PONG!  They were obsessed!

Rubber tree

The cappuccino was great on some of the breezier evenings.

Moonstone was a burger place at lunch then turned into a fancy Italian restaurant for supper.

We enjoyed many nights of entertainment on this stage.  During a pre-show trivia game they got Anton to go on stage and he had to sing the "Golden Girls" theme song.  He was competing with two other guys but they had nothing on Anton.  The crowd loved him.  In the end he won a bottle of Appleton's rum. 

The entrance to the waterpark, Jewel Lagoon.

Ping Pong AGAIN!!

Amara made a little friend Alexa from Toronto.

I love the reflection in Ajay's sunglasses!

Just a bottle of Wata!

Opa and the boys

At the Jade Samurai

Ingrid, our chef entertained and cooked for us.

Amara mastered the chopsticks

Amara went to kids club twice and enjoyed it

Julie and I went shopping in Ochos Rios.  This was the craft market.

At the Platinum Restaurant they had very creative dishes like this one. 

Playing in the huge leaves after a windy night

The coconut fell out of the tree

The girls at the kids club tie dyed the shirts we brought with us.  Now they are triplets!

Crafts with Clive... or C Live as he wanted to be called.

The gardener that cut a coconut out of a tree for us.

Our last morning... breakfast at the coral cafe.

Waiting for our plane, but not really ready to go back home.
