Cayman Islands Part II

So I know I have had a picture overload lately but I guess that's what happens when you go on vacation for 2 weeks.  So many fun pictures to share.  We got to take family pictures while we were in Grand Cayman and they turned out so darling.  We also were able to go swim with the stingray in stingray city, at a sandbar in the middle of the ocean.  We went to the turtle farm and were able to hold some turtles, Hayden wasn't sure what we were making him touch. We went to HELL, and it is what you would picture Hell to look like, it's black volcanic rock super UGLY and extremely HOT.  We have now been to HELL and back! Glad we made it :D The Botanic Gardens were gorgeous,  that is where we saw the BLUE Iguanas.  We got to hold some starfish that we found in the ocean out at RUM POINT.  I am ready to go back!!!  We had so much fun and Hayden did so awesome he slept almost every flight the entire time and was super good in Grand Cayman especially being in the sun almost all day every day.  He didn't even get burned at all we used 100 SPF WOW who knew that stuff existed and it definitely works.  Here are some pictures of our adventure!





This is the MATING pool.  Each turtle weighs aprox 500-600 lbs

HELL so Ugly

Papa was the stroller pusher, we went when Tyler and Craig had gone home.  It was gravel the entire way through the park so we needed a STRONG man to do the job!


When these plants die they start to look like the bottom half of it and while alive they start out fully like the top half.  As they die they fold down super weird.

The plants were so cool.

Entry Way to the Botanic Gardens
The Green Iguana they are wild and they are EVERYWHERE
This Iguana was in the window seal of one of our condo's.  Lincoln named him Fweke

Blue Iguana
 There is a definite difference between the blue and green this one doesn't have as big of spiny thing on it's back and the color of course and this one has black feet the other one doesn't.  Also the Green Iguana's wont let you get very close whereas the blue one's didn't startle as easy. 
These little buggars where seriously seen by the Hundreds.  You never walked along the sidewalk without seeing at least one every couple steps.  They came in every size this is about the biggest and the smallest we saw was probably the length of a house key.

We found these starfish while snorkeling.  Brought them back to where everyone was and held them and took pictures!


Stingray City!  Hayden Loved the stingray :D  Not really sure he knew what we made him touch. 

All of our baggage seriously who are those people?  You would think we moved. 
Just Pooped.  The End Our last flight home.
