Vacation Update

We've been having a lot of fun here in PR. Every day has been going by so fast. Wake up, shower, eat, visit, eat, visit, eat, visit more, go to bed. I wish I could show you some photos, but I long ago lost the USB cord for the camera. So you will all have to wait till I get home.
Ryan has been diving once, and is planning on going one more time today. First he went to the Mermaid which is a statue sunken under the ocean just for divers. Its quite beautiful, but needs a good clean. She's fairly covered in algae right now. Today he plans on going to the Malahat, which is a sunken ship. It used to be an old rum-runner. Fairly interesting stuff to see. I'm going to go hang out with Jenny on shore and spot Ryan and his diving buddy. Safety first!
We've had 2 big parties so far. The first was a westerned themed backyard BBQ. I dressed up in this hideous plaid shirt with shoulder pads I bought at the hospital auxilary. I had Jenny braid my hair in pigtail braids and wore a cowboy hat. Surprisingly, I thought I looked pretty cute in that hat! haha. There were so many people there (nearly 200). We had pony rides, lots of games, and a pig roast. So many things to scrapbook! Keep your eyes out for some cool western paper girls.
Last night we had Mom and Dad's surprise anniversary party. They had absolutely no idea. The look on Mom's face was priceless when she entered that room. I wish I had a camera on her, but I wasn't quite ready for their arrival. She actually turned around and went back in the hall. I had to go out and collect her. It was a great visit, and I saw a lot of people I hadn't seen in a very long time. Mom and Dad were really appreciative, and enjoyed themselves quite a bit. That is the goal of course! Mom was mad at me because I put a photo of her in a bathing suit in the guest book. She looked pretty darn good in that photo though!
Tonight we are having a family BBQ at mom and dads. I'm off to go get dressed and prepare for the day. I may attempt to make a broccoli salad. Mmmm yum!
