We recently took a little break from all the craziness to visit some friends who have moved down to Barbados for a year.  We stayed with them at their beachfront condo, which during our visit housed a grand total of 5 children (all under seven) and four adults.  I guess “break from the craziness” may have been overstating it a little bit.

Anyway, we had a blast.  Their kids are just incredible, and Elliot had a great time.  The adults were in bed by 9PM every night, of course!

Here are a few of my favourite images from the trip.

The boys (all three of them) got new Nintendo 3Ds systems.  They were just a little bit excited.

Toula is an absolute sweetheart.  And with three older brothers, something tells me she’s going to be very well looked after in years to come.

Elliot loves to photobomb, apparently.

Stunning beaches near Bridgetown.

The Pattersons.  This could be a toothpaste commercial photo, no?

The boys’ school held a fun fair day while we were there.  Crazy fun! (Also crazy hot)

Is there anything more fun in the world than bumper cars?

This was without question one of the best pieces of fish I’ve ever eaten (at the Oistins Fish Fry).
