Done? Done?

Last Sunday the kids and I went to church with Grandma and Grandpa Obert (Ben had a work emergency). Grandma and Grandpa read the scriptures for the Advent wreath. Because of that we were sitting near the front. The kids were doing great with the singing and everything. Then came the sermon. I ended up taking Odin out and Adelyn wanted to come with. So the three of us went to check out the Sunday School Class.

After the service was over, the Pastor chatted with us. He said that my kids had been so well behaved and there wasn't a reason for me to rush them out. It's then that I told him that Odin kept pointing to him and saying (loudly), "Done? Done?" That is when I thought we should leave. We all had a great laugh. 

No Problems, Only Adventures

Shortly after arriving in Jamaica, we were told, "There are no problems in Jamaica - only adventures. That is why we say 'No problem' here." We were told this by the Delta employee that was helping us find our missing bags. Turns out, they never left Minnesota. The soonest our bags would arrive was the next day in the afternoon.

After our arrival to the Half Moon Resort, we drove a golf cart over to the "shopping" area. We found the gift shop and bought the things we needed: swimsuits, flip flops, t-shirt for Ben, dress for me. $200 later, we had what we needed for the next 24 hours. Ben was decked out in Jamaica gear... his shirt was the right colors and said "Jamaica", his swim trunks were the right colors and said "Jamaica", his flip flops had the Jamaican flag on them. He so looked like a tourist!

So those were our "uniforms" for the beach party the first night, the business session for the first day, the trip to Chris Blackwell's farm, the pool party with Pato Banton... needless to say, we were happy when we returned to our villa to find our luggage.
