The Caribbean Gem's Swim Meet was a big event on the island. Eight of the elementary schools competed with a total of 80 swimmers. Jace won the 25 meter freestyle in his age group and was so excited to see his name in the local newspaper. Way to go Jace! 

CIA Swim Team won 2nd place in the relay and overall team 

Jim helped out with being the time keeper.

Finally a big swell! There were about 15 surfers out that day. Poor Jim broke his toe and was unable to surf. 

Out to breakfast at the Le Saint Germain, they make the best crepes.

I think Jace has a crush 

Gibbs Bay is located on the southern portion of St. Maarten. Unfortunately, this will soon be built up by hotels/casinos. 

This is the first time on the southeastern area of St. Maarten. A beautiful, undeveloped area but not for long . . . soon to be built are hotels and casino's.  

Adam's birthday party was on the playboat, the kids had a blast
