I hate making posts without pictures, but some things just must be remembered and shared! On Saturday I went into town with the girls to do a little shopping. Julia had birthday money burning a hole in her pocket and Iris needed a gift for a classmate’s birthday party (more on that later).

Let me set the stage here…you have to imagine the craziness of Saturday shopping with everyone buzzing around in golfcarts, motor bikes, the occasional taxi, and lots of bikes. There are no passing laws, everyone just drives all over the road and passes however they can. Amidst this frenzy comes a young man riding toward me on his bicycle, weaving in and out of traffic, carrying waiter-tray style…wait for it…an ornately decorated, full sized, uncovered WEDDING CAKE!!!

As if a bride does not have enough to stress over on her wedding day!

We also passed this fun cart. 3 chocolates in the back and one up front. I wonder how he chooses who rides up front?

Iris’s class had a field trip to the Belize cultural center on Friday. It was also the last day of the month, so it was free dress day. You know Mrs. B would never let that happen!

Finally, the birthday party on Saturday was on a private island so we had to go by boat. I know, the the sacrifices we must make…

Iris and her friends Zahara and Tesla.

I must say that Whit made the real sacrifice on Saturday because I had to call and ask him to bring Julia’s friend to the ferry station and he missed the last 10 minutes of the Georgia game. Let’s just say he was NOT pleased. What could happen in the last 10 minute anyway, right? Doh!
