A genuinely happy child.

Maya never misses an opportunity to make friends.

The frustration of a a near miss after several attempts is captured nicely in this photo.

Catching the very heavy ring on the rebound is risky business and I am please to report that no teeth were dislodged during the course of this game.

Maya and Rachel spend a lot of time playing a game whose object is to get a suspended ring onto a post on the pole. Easier said, than done.

Alissa finds a moment to relax in the sun.

Today the real golf begins. We rent clubs, a cart, and get an all day pass on the last three holes of the course. John, Mario, and Rory have all played before but for my family this was their first real “game”.  Nicolai continues to amaze us all with his abilities and based on his enthusiasm for the sport I am sure will go on to play for his entire life.

As if the day was not full enough, the kids spent the evening in the “Quarter Deck” candlepin bowling, playing pool and air hockey.

Every evening featured a spectacular sunset.

The kids are seated on the edge of a cliff which falls 30 feet to the sea. Only Sophia is missing from the shot.

Jeanine and Sophia relax on the porch before dinner.

Once they discovered the golf course the boys spent quite a bit of time working on their skills.
