Schuster's In Grenada

We have been having SO much fun! So the in-laws got in sat bright and early at 7am!  Beth came over and helped us pick them up from the airport because our car is too small to fit everyone and the suitcases! We brought them back to our HUGE apartment :) and had a nice breakfast! After Breakfast Carla and Darrell really wanted to check out campus so we brought Mic back to school, saw "the cliff", got smoothies and just enjoyed the beautiful land around us!! As we headed home we stopped and got some fresh fruit. We went home to check on Vera and Carla and Darrell took a nap. Then i brought them out to end of LAE and LAE beach to see the sunset! Michael came home and we played many games of rummikub! I would have to say it was a fun action packed first day!



























Sun, we headed to church on campus.  After church Michael brought them to umbrellas for lunch! When they came back we did some hair and then locked ourselves out of the house while going to magazine beach......! It was quite a problem, both the car key and the house key got locked in the house (Darrell and my fault). But we had Vera so we couldnt just get on the bus with the dog! Luckily my landlords are great and sent someone to come help us!  We eventually made it to the beach, Vera had a great time, and Carla and Darrell enjoyed a new piece of Grenada! We then came back to grill dinner and played more Rummikub!

Mon, went into town, first stop was the Bakery, then went to spice market to meet Rhonda and fish market to meet Maureen. Then went to orphanage, C and D wanted to experience some of my day to day volunteering! After a qweezy ride back we headed home to make dinner and early bed!

Tue, we rented a car to drive around the WHOLE island, So much fun!!! We stopped a few places along the way, poor Vera got car sick and threw up :( poor pup, but besides that we had a fun, action packed day with LOTS of Laughs!! We stopped at the north end of the island at Bathaway Beach to have lunch at Aggies,  I even held a live lobster here..... idk how I felt about that though... haha! After a busy day on the road I dropped C and D off at Grenada Grand the resort they are spending a couple nights at! I headed to Bible study and then when Michael was done studying, we met up at the Hotel to check out the room and see the rents before bed!

 Love having them here! I feel so blessed to have such wonderful in-laws!!!!

Wed we had a very lazy and relaxing day by the pool at Grenada Grand, Joanna and Elora even got to come hang out for a bit :) After enjoying the sun a bit  I went home to run Vera and get ready for the night, we were taking the Schusters out to Aquarium for dinner! We were celebrating Carla's retirement and wanted to thank them for ALL they do for us back home! The atmosphere was Beautiful the food and company were fantastic!
Thu we sat by the pool again, Carla and Darrell both got fried the day before ... So we were not out long, it was still nice to be out and enjoy the weather! We checked out and went back into town.  On our way we stopped at Pandy beach for sea glass, then into town to get fish (we met Michelle) Darrell wanted Wahoo so we got that and he grilled it for dinner, Very Yummy!! We brought Michael dinner on Campus!
Friday, last full day :(. We got up, Leroy came to get us at 9am to see Annendale falls and the monkeys. We got a great history lessons on of the forts, Fort Mathew, Fort Fredrick and Fort George! After a 3 hour "tour" we came back, C and D napped while Vera and I took a walk to the beach! We had a full filled night ahead of us at Fish Friday! Carla explained Fish Friday as a smaller, Grenadian
'taste of MN". Then of course we finished the night off with a game of Rummikub with Michael!
Sat.... boo saturday they go home.... I didnt want to get out of bed today, I figured if I didnt get out of bed then it wouldnt be sat.... well anyways, we had a relaxing morning, Carla and Darrell took spoiled Vera in there bed the night before (and she loved it, we usually kick her out and she sneaks back up in the middle of the night)! We went to BBC beach for a couple hours (which Carla said it was her favorite beach so far) then we went to Umbrellas for lunch and came home to finish up the packing and see Michael for about an hour till we got them to the airport... :(
 After dropping them at the airport Michael went back to campus to study and Vera and I waited and watched them fly out :(

What a wonderful week we had, I feel so blessed to have such caring people in my life! Thank you Carla and Darrell for taking time out of your schedule to come visit and see what life is like down in Grenada, We love you guys soooo much!

After a LONG day of traveling they are home safe!

GOD IS GOOD!!
