The Henry Family Blog: Catamaran FUN!

So I missed my first day finally (I knew it was only a matter of time) and didn't get to post anything yesterday. That's because we were quite busy as we left in the morning for the 1st semester Catamaran trip with the other Ross students and spouses. We did have some excitement in the morning before we even left for the trip as Isaiah took his FIRST STEPS! He took one step towards me and did it again to show Josh and then right before we left, he took 3 steps for me to get Josh's car keys! We were so excited and at the same time a little sad because we know now that it's only a matter of days until he masters this walking thing and our little baby will be a baby no more!

We then left on our catamaran trip a little before 10 am yesterday and got back to Port around 3pm, so we had a nice chunk of the day out on the water in our boat named the Irie Lime! (Irie means Good and Lime means Party) We stopped to snorkel about a 1/2 hour in Shitten Bay on the southern part of the island. Our captain, Antonio, told us the name and said, "And no...I'm not shitting you!" Josh got to snorkel and Isaiah and enjoyed floating around on a funnoodle during the stop. Isaiah took 2 naps (one before snorkeling and one after) on the boat and was so well behaved never crying at all during our trip! He at lunch with us on the boat that was provided and right after conked out for his 2nd nap of the day as we headed to Nevis where we got to get off the boat at a beach and relax for about an hour. He slept through our entire stop including getting off and back on the boat, so Isaiah missed seeing Nevis completely! He slept about half of the trip back to St. Kitts and woke up for the last 1/2 hour or so of our boat ride. It was very nice trip and we had a great time relaxing with our new friends here on St. Kitts!

We got home and got showers and Josh headed off to school to study in the anatomy lab for a bit, while Isaiah and I Skyped with my family and Josh's cousin, Jess, at IUP. When Josh got home, we headed up to Jason and Jen's house (the street above ours) for pizza and some time for the kids to play together. They had a great time and it was a nice end to a perfect day!
