Three Little Monkeys Sitting on a Tree! Yesterday we went to a Pre-Independance Day Party over at Coconut Grove. This is Julian with his friends Nolan and Makayla. They are really nice kids. Their father is a student professor and the Mom, Dusty and the kids are only here for the summer which is a bummer because they are a lot of fun. Dusty is a teacher in Illinois and her husband didn't think it was a good idea for her to leave her job and come here to live so they see Brian, the father during the breaks and they come here for spring break and summer break. So we went to this little party at the fancy thatched roof place. This is probably the only time we will eat there because it was a burgers and hot dogs kind of menu which we can afford. They had a volleyball net set up but unfortunately they didn't have much of a turn out. I think maybe the guy was expecting a lot of students but it is the day before Black Monday so everyone is studying. We met some nice people. We met the guy who runs the Mount Nevis Hotel where my parents will be staying. He is a really nice guy. We also saw a few other families that live here on the island some that we knew and some that we didn't. It was all in all a really fun day. The kids all had a great time playing and jumping off the tree.
