End of an era

And just like that, the school year was over! We said goodbye to Glebe, as C moves to middle school. And, O started the year in one school and ended in another. So it was a memorable 10 months for sure!

Big Day!

June brought a lot of action, but perhaps the biggest day to date was Colin’s promotion to middle school, combined with a playoff final run for the 50/70 Cubs. While the game didn’t end with a W, the team still won the National League division for the season and league runners up, and were a…

Cayman Blues

The blues in Grand Cayman came in all sorts of shades – from the sea to the sky to the bioluminescent plankton we saw at night. We didn’t tire of the blues the whole weekend!

Happy Cayman Birthday!

It’s been a decade, but we returned to Grand Cayman and enjoyed all its beauty in celebration of Brian’s most recent birthday. We had an amazing dinner the night before with the kids in the kids’ club (for the most part), and the main event was another trip to Stingray City to get up close…

Following individual competitions, a team challenge and a team chant, the Glebetrotters emerged as the tournament runners up. It was the first time the school placed in the tournament’s 17-year history!

Dual Opening Day

Although baseball season is nearly over, it was a momentous kick off in April when both boys participated in opening day festivities. The A Nationals and the 50/70 Cubs represented among the Arlington Little League teams that day. Throw in the Oriole Bird and a former O’s player (Mike Bordick), and it made for quite…

A Quick St. Martin Stay

After nearly a week in lovely Anguilla, we spent an overnight in St. Martin before heading back home to reality! We enjoyed the sea and pools once more, and half of us went snorkeling to take in the fish and even a sunken helicopter and other treasures. We walked to the main strip in Phillipsburg…

Fun Off Resort

While we had virtually no reason to leave our Anguillan resort, we spent a couple days venturing on land to a water/fun park and sea to Prickly Pear Island to see more of the area.

Amazing Anguilla

Spring break brought us to the island of Anguilla, where we enjoyed a wonderful stay with some of the nicest people ever. We took advantage of all the resort’s amenities – here are some highlights…
