On another note we are enjoying the island as our time here is nearing an end. I spent the first year here on the island thinking that it would never end and the last year I have spent thinking that it is going too fast. We love the island itself and we are loving experiencing it more. The kids and I spent a night camping at Brimstone Hill Fortress (a once in a lifetime experience) this last weekend while James was studying for finals. Oh my goodness did we have a fantastic time. We slept in one of the old armory buildings and had a private night tour of the entire place. The boys had such a fantastic time and they were so well behaved. They were amazing.

So I found out about this campout on Thursday night and asked the Noels if they wanted to go on Friday (for a Saturday night campout). They are amazing people who are ready to jump into all types of fun stuff and I am so grateful that they were able to go. The kids LOVED playing with each other and they all had a great time camping. It was a beautiful night. The kids and I started in the building while the Noels started in a tent outside. The only scary part of the night was when I woke at 2:30 am and saw a person standing on the other side of the building holding a child. Since my kids were the only ones in the building I had a brief heart attack thinking someone was taking Gabe. So I grabbed for them and they were both in bed with me. It took me a few seconds to realize it was Nicki with Hazel! Whew. They decided to move inside because it was so noisy in the tent. They slept great and we had a great time. I am so glad that we got to share this amazing experience with some great friends.
