Tin foil dinners at the beach

Since living here in Dominica, I feel that one of the hardest parts is saying goodbyes to good friends. The VanOrmans lived just down the road from us and had kids close to our kids ages. Crew LOVED playing with Jonah and Micah and all of their "cool" legos! Jack adored playing with Christian as well. Broc served in the Branch Presidency with Jared. And Nicole is simply an amazing person. She was always there to help whenever I needed anything. If Jack was sleeping she would grab Crew from school. She is just one of those sweet people who is the definition of a good friend. We got back from St. Maarten and had to say goodbye to their sweet family. I have been so blessed to know so many amazing people throughout the last 8 years. And there are times that I wish we could just stay neighbors forever. But such is life and goodbyes are inevitable at some point.

We made dinner for the VanOrmans the night before they left. We thought that instead of having them come up to our house, we would head to the dock on the beach. Eat by the water and enjoy the amazing ocean sunset.

I made tin foil dinners! Something that Nicole actually taught me how to make. I posted the recipe on Lovely.

Jonah is incredible at catching lizards. 

Jack's new obsession- showing his abs!

There may have been a huge spider coming at us... and we may or may not have almost died while jumping into the road of oncoming traffic. Oops! Good times and much laughter! Too bad the boys didn't find it as funny! (We actually got lectures from both Broc and Jared about how we should never jump into the road... blah... blah... you could have gotten killed!! I am almost peeing my pants right now, thinking about how funny this was!

The boys!

We will miss you terribly Nicole, Jared, Jonah, Micah and Christian. Thank you for being such amazing people. So happy we had the chance to know you! We wish you the very best of luck with your next adventure!
