Where have you been?

I'm back. Sorry for the unexpected long hiatus from the blogging world. Not that there are too many of you out there reading this, so really, I should say, "Sorry, Grandparents, for not posting any recent pics of the kids lately!" The reason for the absence of pictures and words is due to me being sick for a few weeks...finally I'm on the mend, so I'm up and at em' again...so...onto some pics.

The day before Easter we went to a beach to have some fun in the water with some friends. The girls LOVED the water and the sand. The water here in the tropics is the walk-right-in-without-shivering-because-it-is-like-a-nice-warm-bath type of water...ahhhhh...very nice. This beach is a black sand beach, but the water still was gorgeous!

Ok, so as to not make this post super long with pictures, I'll add some more from the trip in a separate post. Stay tuned...
