Dominican Republic-Adults Only

I like labeling my post like that because then it gets everyone's attention because they start thinking some naughty thoughts when really it means exactly what it says, Adults Only.  My parents and all my brothers and sisters with no kids for a whole week.  As much as we love our kids, this was a blast!  Remember when you were kids and you could make up silly games in the water or on the beach just for fun?  You can still do that as an adult!  It's amazing.  And the competition is so much better now!  And since we were without kids and didn't have to set the example, we could all act like kids.  It was like someone set back the clock and we were all young again, playing in our backyard pool with 7 of our BFF's (aka spouses).  The only difference was that our parents were right in there with us, acting like the rest of us and joining in the fun.  

So here is the trip in pictures.  Once again, an awesome trip!

 Snuba & Snorkel

Unfortunately my mom got sick on the last night (just trying to be like the rest of us) so my Dad had to eat his anniversary cake alone...well, with his kids.

This was all made possible by these two wonderful people!  We love them so very much and were so grateful to share this experience with them!  They are the epitome of the perfect married couple.  I hope to be just as happy and in love as they are on my 40th wedding anniversary.

Happy Anniversary Mom & Dad!!!
