Day 8: last day and night

  I love these two. I talk to Shandee and Amber 'bout every day of my life but it's not often we spend time together. We had fun. I also love this guy. I love that Micah can never have enough hoodies and loves to shop.  I bought her the sweatshirt she's wearing in this picture but she wanted a second hoodie form the ship and paid good money for it... We did not buy this hat... Copper and Maci loved dancing with Sam the Man. Ryan was willing to try raw beef piled into an avocado and topped with something that I can only describe as a small runny egg. You got to hand it to him.  He and Amber both loved it... I brought Tim a wrapped birthday present and gave it to him at dinner- a batter operated excavator. Pretty fun! The kids decided to try the waterpark for the first time. It was too cold all week but they wanted to give it a go.  Copper came down one slide just shivering and said NOPE! It was still so cold with the wind, even with the sun out.

Sam the Man arranged a band to come sing Happy Birthday to Tim!

Day 7: Turks & Caicos: Wedding Day!

 My little brother Tom and his fiance Megan had their ceremony on the beaches of Turks and Caicos.  Tis the reason for our large group- I think there were 40+ people there for this!  Everyone in my family came except for my older brother.  My cousin Robert and his family came- Robert officiated the ceremony.  All of Amber's family came (brother, sister, parents, nieces, and nephews) because her sister is best friends with Megan.  Lots of fun, especially for all the kids. In the morning we rushed to the wedding site.  We rented an 8-seater golf cart and headed off with a "map" of where to go.  The island isn't that big at all, and it didn't take us long driving along the road to realize we passed the beach turn off.  It was windy and raining by the time we got there.  By God's good hand, the sun came out and it was a perfect day for the ceremony. Pre-wedding Kota: "Do I look wet?" The groom... I don't think Tom has ever NOT tucked his pan...
