High winds and rough seas......

Well we have officially been here for the 2/3 of the term Jacob took his second exam Friday and that marks 10 weeks! Some days it feels like time is crawling and others its not so bad. We are passing the time with a lot of reading and playing in the yard, I think Fluffy could use a break from Kate but he really is a good dog.

We have yet to have a day without high winds since we landed on the island so we have made all of 3 trips to the beach in 10 weeks! I know pathetic right? The sea has been so rough with the high winds that it makes me nervous to take the kids alone since Kohl has become such a fish! He loves being out with his snorkel he could do that for hours and not have it phase him one bit, Kate however didn't enjoy our trip to the beach as much its almost as though she had forgotten all about the water and now we are starting from scratch again with her, We also had a terrible time with the jelly fish our last trip to the beach but once again I was the only one that was stung that makes 4 for me! It must be the super white legs that attract them!

We officially entered hurricane season on the 1st of June and they are predicting 11-14 named storms for this hurricane season, which is about average, normally we don't hear about that many living in the U.S. cause the news only covers ones that affect the U.S., but living in the Caribbean you hear about ALL of them, hopefully our living on the end of the hurricane belt will keep us safe for another hurricane season.

We are finally getting some rain! It has been so dry here St. Vincent is struggling with one of the worst droughts in many many years! I have never seen such a brown island before! Things are finally starting to green up though and in Kohl's words "its starting to look like a jungle again", we desperately need the rain just like everyone back home!

As I sit here typing this the rain is falling YAY!! However this kind of weather makes us very lazy and Kohl has been asking to watch a movie so that is where we will be the rest of the day! hope everyone is doing well! Until next time.......
