Final Somersfield Spring Fair

Although it was a rainy day, the Somersfield Spring Fair didn't disappoint again this year.  The boys happily played game after game, built lego, rolled inside a giant rubber ball and ran around with their "mates" all day long.  The best part of the day was watching Morgan perform on the steel pans with the rest of his classmates.  What great experiences both boys have had while we have been on this little island.


Flashback to May -- Happy Birthday, Jim!


Flashback to April -- Easter in Florida

We had an unbelievable time in Florida this year and packed as much in as possible -- from mini-golf to playground picnics, the always popular zoo and a first time visit to the aquarium to see the real dophin from "Dolphin Tale".  Of course, as always, the highlight was splashing in the pool (no floaties this time!), and the amazing quality family time.

Catching Up

It has been a crazy few months...and I have been terrible about documenting it on our blog.  Since the end of January, we have:

  • enjoyed a February visit from my Nanna and Grampy
  • taken our first boat ride around Bermuda
  • made a traditional Bermuda kite
  • vacationed in Florida...this time for Easter
  • celebrated Jim's birthday
  • had the traditional Somersfield events such as character day, sports day and the Spring Fair
...and, of course...traveled across Canada a couple of times that led to us taking jobs in VANCOUVER!  We are so excited about our next adventure that will see us move from Bermuda on July 3rd, enjoy some family time in Ontario for a few weeks and then settle in Vancouver in early August.

In an attempt to "catch up", the next few blog posts will share some highlights...enjoy!
