Real Island Gal!

Papa and I make each other smile!

Look, mom! I can see my feet!!

Daddy introducing me to the gin-clear waters of The Bahamas!

Nana and I discussing life.

We are in Abaco taking in the sand, sea and sun. Soleil has been swimming, boating and taking walks on the beach. She has adapted to the slow pace of island life.....the ocean breezes lull her to sleep on a daily basis. Soleil has been basking in the attention of family and friends and LOVING it. She is going to be crying with a Bahamian accent soon!

"I swim in da ocean,

I swim in da sea.

I look at da fish,

All the fish look back at me!"

Let's get this party started!

My smile brings all the boys to the yard!

Maybe if I ignore Ricky he'll go away!

No autographs, please!



Could you at least fix my hat before you take the picture??

Memorial Day Weekend

We had a fabulous Memorial Day weekend with Gramps! Substitute grandparents Jane and Tom came to visit from Orlando and Soleil got to take her first ride on a trolley! It was fantastic! The next day we hit Siesta Key where the lovebugs apparently had a worldwide convention!

Throughout all of this traveling, Soleil was a trooper, as her "adult people" get used to her schedule.

Memorial Day also marked Soleil's first swimming lesson with Gramps. Of course, being a true true Bahamian her mother and father refused to get in that cold water. As you can tell from the pictures, she was NOT impressed. Maybe the Bahamian sea will be more of a success!
