De Palm Island, Aruba!

Aruba is great, but what makes it even better is watersides, banana boating, free food, and friends! Luckily I found all of these things on De Palm Island last Thursday when we had a crew excursion to the island! We had tried to go once before, but they wanted us to pay nearly 100 dollars because we were not in a group, so when this tour was offered to the crew for less then half we were so excited! Here are some pictures from our adventure...

We had to take a little ferry to get to the island!

The singers and dancers ready for some fun.

De Palm Island! Isn't that just the bluest water?!

I would not mind if this was my home! It is actually one of the restaurants on the island.

The waterslides!

Jordan and I. Clearly getting VERY tanned!

And banana boating! Always so hilarious!

Sincerely,

Horseback Riding in Beautiful Aruba!

We got the opportunity to horseback ride on the beach in ARUBA! I am jealous of myself! It was so much fun, and such a beautiful ride! I am so glad I finally got to horse back ride on the beach. Check out the photos...

The view we had on the ride!

Jordan on his horse 'Prince'.

Me and my horse!

We took a break after an hour of horseback riding for some water, and pictures.

Gorgeous!!

The gang ready to head back.

The hour long trek back to the ranch.

Heading back, but I didn't want to!

Visitors, Visitors, Visitors..

From April to May we had 4 weeks of Visitors! It kept us very busy!! We had Ryan for 2 weeks, right after that we had Katie and my mom for a week, and a few weeks after that we had Sheila, Shawna and Carrie. Those 4 weeks were some of my favourites within the last 6 months! We laughed alot, and made lots of memories. It made me feel like I was on vacation!! But after everyone left, I felt more homesick then ever! Here are a few of my favourite memories...

Ryan with his Bucket of Beer on the beach of St.Maarten!

They were living the life, just passed out under an umbrella!

We went to the waterfalls in Dominica, and they we GORGEOUS!

Boy will be boys! The played for hours in Antigua!

And the Katie arrived! Just before Chops!

Jord, mom and I went snorkelling at Champagne beach, in Dominica.

Mom and Katie won the Quest game on the ship!!

Things got a little crazy in Aruba!!
