This morning, I woke up before Lamar, did my quiet time and then headed out to the pool to lay out. It was 9:30 when I got out there. Let me tell ya, the breeze wasn't blowing very much today and it was HOT! Lamar joined me a little bit later and then we laid out together until about noon. We came in and ate lunch and then laid out a little bit more. We actually spent more time in the pool than lying out because it was just so hot. Then we decided to go to Cruz Bay to get rafts, flip flops for Lamar, and mosquito coils. We decided to take a picture of the two of us together before we left because we realized we hadn't had any pictures together so I set my self timer.
Here we are. I need to set the self timer with a pretty view! I love our cottage, though! We like to call it an outdoor house because all the rooms seem like they are in the outdoors.
Seriously, the view!! Seriously! I can't get over it!
This tree was built into the house. The man who built this house climbed this tree to see what the view would look like which was absolutely breathtaking! The tree was special to him, so he had everyone build around it. :)
The steps down to our Jeep. It is lit up at night and so pretty.
We ended up stopping in Coral Bay where they had some shops and getting everything but the rafts so we decided not to drive all the way to Cruz Bay just for rafts. So we went exploring and it was super fun! We traveled the east end of St. John and saw the most beautiful sights!! It rained on us some. We saw donkeys in the road along with chickens and goats. It was so much fun! Our Jeep wouldn't start twice which was a little scary. Lamar prayed and then it started. I'm a little nervous about our Jeep dying somewhere. He ended up not stopping the car again just in case. I took an obnoxious amount of Vine videos today of all of this. I've been taking an obnoxious amount the whole time, actually! I love that not many people follow me on Vine because I can put a TON of videos of whatever I want and not care at all.
Just look how gorgeous! And pictures don't even begin to do it justice! You can't tell in the picture but the water is turquoise. We just saw this on our drive and lots of other gorgeous views, too!
I got so excited when I saw donkeys in the distance in the street. Lamar stopped the car and they came around to see me! I loved it!!! HAAAA!! I love this!!! I had to wear my glasses today (I took them off in the pictures) because my contacts got some sunscreen in them...so they've been soaking in cleanser.
I love them! The one on the left was covered in mud! :)
Sweet donkey friends.
Other sweet guys in the road. I love it! I got a picture yesterday of a chicken with her baby chicks.
Then, we came back and ate and have been relaxing here ever since. It was a lot cooler here when we came back because of the rain. It has rained every day since we've been here and I love it!!! It only rains for a few minutes and then the sun is back out! I bet we will see a rainbow! I hope so!
Here was the view when we got back tonight. It was so beautiful out....breezy and cool, too!
I sat on the balcony and took in the view. All the seats were wet from the rain.
My hair is CRAZY frizzy here. And it's so thin but it feels thick here!! I guess because it's so curly and frizzy. It doesn't even have a chance here so I don't even try. I just wash and go! No blow dry, no straightening, no nothin! It's really nice to not have to worry about it.
Beautiful landscaping here! I love it!
And here are my sweet boys while we are gone. Charlie Bear is loving life, like he always does no matter where he is and Reggie is with his first Mama...the one who only had him a few weeks and he is still the most attached to her. Funny dog! I sure do love them! Look how soft Charlie Bear's fur is!
Right now we are watching a storm off in the distance. Beautiful lightening! I'm going to put this down. More tomorrow!
