We had such a great time while my parents were visiting. The day they got in, the kids could hardly stand the wait. Every time the doors opened at the airport to let passengers off they would both run over to the line to see if it was them. They were so excited when they opened and Grandma came out!! The kids had so many things they wanted to show Grandma and Grandpa, they couldn't hardly get in the door before they were pulling them upstairs to see their room and all their toys. The next day we took them to the Garden of the Groves. Kyler figured since he had already been there once, the only thing to really do was see the playground. We did make it all the way around the garden before we went to the playground. We first stopped to feed the ducks. They were not in the pond when we first got there, so they of course wanted to come right up and get their food from the kids. You can imagine how well that went over!!! ( not good!) So we left the ducks and found the turtles. We tried to feed the turtles some of the bread, but the fish were too fast. They got every piece we threw in. After playing on the playground for a while, we headed back home. We were going to go to a few stores, but we found out that in the Bahamas, Easter is a LONG weekend. They take off Good Friday and Easter Monday. And by taking off, I mean they close down everything. It was so crazy how things were just shut down. We were able to find the place where they keep the dolphins and got to see the trainer feed them. He even had them do a few flips and trips for us. You can't get too close, so we were watching through the fence, but it was so fun to see them. The weather was nice enough to go snorkeling that afternoon, which I have been wanting to do since we got here. It was a lot of fun. The Reef is not near as nice as it is in Dominica, but the water is beautiful and it was still a lot of fun. Grandma and Grandpa were here for Easter Morning, and Grandpa was trying to make some deals with eggs. Something about "1 for you 2 for me....." I think he ended up without any in the end. And then the weekend was over. It ended way to fast. It is amazing how long it seems like it takes for something that you are waiting for to come, and then it comes and is over in the blink of an eye. However, we are very grateful for the time we had to spend with them. Thanks Mom and Dad for coming and everything else. We love you so much, and miss you already.
