Puerto Rico

 For spring break we went to Puerto Rico!  My parents rented a large house and invited my sister's family and our family to come stay with them.  We had a lot of fun and made a lot of memories including swimming, beach time, UTV/Horseback riding and hiking in El Yunque, kayaking in the Bioluminescent Bay, visiting the children's museum, and exploring Old San Juan.   We are so grateful!

Here are some pictures:

Dog-sitting Grandpa's dog, Dotson is always a highlight!

UCA's production of Peter Pan was amazing.  I can add the link when it becomes available.  Larkyns class sang a song dressed up as the lost boys.  Colton's class did a "stick song" that was very moving.  Summer volunteered a runner getting the classes to the stage when they were needed, as she was too old to be in the performance.  Both sets of grandparents came and supported the kids, but I only ended up with one picture!
