Hello Blog! My apologies that I've ignored you for the last few weeks. It's not because I didn't have anything to tell you about. We've had lots going on and we've been having a great visit with Squid, Cheri Lee and Kent. I have no real excuse...what can I say? But I'm back!!
We picked up Squid, Cheri Lee and Kent at Belize City on March 2nd. So good to see them. Squid and Cheri Lee where here last May as well. Everyone was so shocked that Squid made the big trip the first time. By now he's such a seasoned traveller this is just same-old, same-old! This is the first time that we've met Kent. But we figured that if Cheri Lee likes him then we would too!

I promise that I'll catch up on all that we've been doing. For now, I'll leave you with a few pictures and assurances that we are having a great time.
Well...except for maybe that little bit of time that Squid spent in Belizean jail....

I have to say, that while it was great to meet old (and new) friends at the airport, I had another motive, as well. Prince Harry was arriving in Belize at the same time so how could I not sneak off? So, while Adam waited in the main terminal, I snuck over to the tarmack viewing area, camera at the ready! And to quote my daughter..."OMG...(insert girly squeal)!". I have to say that it was pretty exciting being my first royal sighting and all.
Harry was in Belize on his very first official trip on behalf of the Queen. In celebration of her diamond anniversary she is sending royal family members to all of the Commonwealth nations. Harry was the perfect choice for Belize. He was a huge hit here. A big street party was held in Belmopan (the capital). Harry drank (in moderation) and danced and charmed the whole country! It was an event that will be remembered here for a very long time. In future years I'll be able to say, "Prince Harry? Yah, I saw him in Belize." Very cool!
