Snapshots from St. Lucia

Snapshots from St. Lucia - Lily wearing H&M Swimsuit UPF 50 in pink stripes and Zelda Matilda UPF 50 Toddler Sun Hat

I had been working on a blog post and was very excited to get it live while we were in St. Lucia last week … and then my computer broke.  Half of the screen of my macbook is now neon lines which everyone knows is never good. While I wait to find a time to take it to the Apple Store I am not using it to ensure it does not get worse.  And then when it rains, it pours.  The next day I turned on my DSLR and the got an error message on teh screen.  A quick Google search told me “Error 80 on a Canon DSLR camera indicates a malfunction with the camera’s electric control or images. If the error message persists, the camera may need to be inspected by a Canon Factory Service Center.”  Yeah, not a great technology week in the world of Kelly.  That said we got so many cute photos the first few days on my DSLR but also on my phone that I wanted to share a few cell phone snapshots from St. Lucia:

We got this LCD Writing Tablet Doodle Board for the trip and it was a big hit!

Lily didn’t understand the concept of sleeping in on vacation and was up early every morning.  On this day the timestamp on my phone shows it was 6:51am and we were the first people at the pool!

I hired a photographer to take family photos, for our Christmas card, to frame for our house, and a few maternity shots,  We just got the album back and they are GREAT! 🙂

    I do wish that they had those spf swim outfits when my children were little.

    I have bought several for my grandchildren and they are fantastic. Do you have a brand that you like?

    The photos are wonderful and glad you got a break before the new baby comes.

    Looks like you had a great vacation. It’s a tossup from me between the yummy drink that you were drinking and Lily having a pool to herself. Look forward to checking out the bike to know it for the things you brought on the trip.

    Looks like so much fun that you had the most glorious weather ever. How nice you could get away before the baby comes. Did you like the resort?

    Always looking for new places to go to. You always have such good suggestions.
