Last weekend Jordan took a family day before block week. We headed out to Simpson Bay for the 9th annual Taste of St. Maarten at Topper's Beach Bar. There was a variety of restaurants set up offering a sample of their food for a discounted price. Bradley got some cheeseburger sliders, I got a pulled pork sandwich from Hard Rock St. Maarten and Jordan got some indian food. Everything was delicious! They had a kids corner set up with a water slide, dunk tank, face painting, etc. Bradley even went down the big water slide twice! If you know Bradley this was huge for him- he's pretty timid and anxious about trying new things, but he made it and loved it. We walked from Topper's over to Kim Sha beach and rented 2 chairs and an umbrella for the afternoon. We swam for a bit, then just hung out the rest of the afternoon. As we were leaving we saw some of our friends so we hung out for a little bit longer. We plan on going next year for the 10th annual as well!
On Wednesday we met up with our mom friends from the Spouses Org to take the kiddos to Parrotte Ville. Parrotte Ville is in Belvedere, close to the French side of St. Maarten. Luckily my friend Juliana and her two boys drove with us or else I would have been lost! I think every mom was able to come so we had a packed house in the bird enclosure. We were given cups to hold with bird feed then the bird would fly and land on your cup. It was really interesting! Bradley even held a cup with a bird on it- again, a big step in overcoming some anxiety. We had a great time even though it was super, super humid. We have a really awesome group of moms and kiddos. I feel really grateful to be a part of the Spouses Organization.
The rest of the week was training for the Spouses Board on coffee cart, hot food Friday, and bake sale, but more on that later ;)
