St Maarten

 Yesterday we stopped in St Maarten.  It was an amazing day.  We scheduled a snorkeling trip that was a lot of fun.  We traveled to our destination by catamaran and then spent some time looking at fish and swimming around.
 There was a sunken helicopter, airplane and something else that were about 20 ft down.  There were a lot of fish everywhere as well as people doing snuba and scuba so there was lots to see.
 Rob swam mostly with Grace and she did great.  She was diving down and swimming around like a pro.  That girl is a little fish!  Ethan free dove down and touched the airplane.  We were all impressed.  The guide was really nice and found lots of stuff for us to hold, including the white sea urchin Sierra is holding in this picture and a funny long legged star fish that crawled really fast on your arm! We thought he thought Si was pretty because he gave her a lot of attention and also took her and E, H and I to a special spot through the rocks to find some fish and look at some pelicans.

It was a super super fun snorkeling trip.  After we got back we took a water taxi to the beach and just hung out there for the afternoon.  Grace ended up getting her hair braided and the water was just beautiful.  

St Maarten gets two big thumbs up from me!

In other news the Internet is really slow and it's hard to load pictures or even get on most of the time so most of the cruise pictures will have to go up later.  Also our house still hasn't sold, which is always on our minds.
