We celebrated some huge milestones for our family in March so we took a big family trip to the BVI to celebrate Nana's 10 year cancer-free date, Papa's 60th Birthday and Nana and Papa's 40th Wedding Anniversary. Whew! We are so blessed.
It was wonderful showing the kids momma's absolute favorite place in the whole world and they loved it so much!! Lots and lots of great memories made and really quality, fun time spent together.
The kids playing on the front trampolines the first morning while we were still at the marina in Road Town, Tortola.
