Picturing the little man walking w/ his stroller attached to his butt has me cracking up. I thought his daddy was Jamaican. [img]/forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/confused.gif[/img]

Thanks for sharing Immani's first
trip - looks like he's made JA his
home away from home. [img]/forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/70371-jump.gif[/img]

I'm so enjoying your report and the
pic's, makes me want to book a flight today. [img]/forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/70402-thinking.gif[/img]
Oh that's right I can't [img]/forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/70394-bawlout.gif[/img]

Can't wait to see the pictures
that Immani took with his new camera.

Re: As Deep as the Ocean...

LOL, I remember those mad dashes trying to catch my 3 year olds! Keeps you sharp, tho.

My son had a big wheel and a large parking lot, it took me a few tries to get him to respond to "Turn around!" as he was ready to merge with the traffic [img]/forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/eek2.gif[/img]! People would crack up as he turned around and pedaled his little butt back to me as fast as he could go. (him know he would lose that big wheel if him didn't)

This is a fun, fun, fun report!!! I'm so glad you loved BCC, my home away from home. Those pictures took me back down that side walk lane and I miss it sooooooooo much!!! [img]/forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/70394-bawlout.gif[/img]

I can see that Imanni thrived off his new environment. Babies and the sand such a cute sight. Did you get to take him next door to see Mr. Jones???

As for Imanni's pictures... [img]/forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/frown.gif[/img]

As soon as the boy left the room he chucked the camera and ran for the water [img]/forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/crazy.gif[/img] maybe he's not old enough, or maybe not into photograpy, but he only took a couple pics of my torso [img]/forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/eek.gif[/img] and some of the flip flops inside, I will maybe post that one [img]/forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/704555_dwl.gif[/img]

Re: As Deep as the Ocean...

So I talk with Carol a while, and the kids swing in the swings. I buy some jewelry from her, and tell her my purse is up the beach with my friend. So her and the pikneys come with me back up the beach.

Now earlier I had bought a big bundle of fruit from the Fruuuuuit lady, and then a guy tried to sell me fruit too, and I told him I had no money on me, maybe later...

So as we are walking back up the beach to my purse the man stops me again. I tell him no, but he persists and mentions he has cane... [img]/forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/70402-thinking.gif[/img] cane sounds good, how much? $200J well I don't have it on me. No Problem he says you can pay me later... Fine, I take the cane, and keep walking.

Now I get to my purse and Swedish tells me she is going to walk down the beach and meet a friend of hers. Ok, call me later... We say goodbye.

I start to gather my fruit, purse, and towel. I hand the last of my Jamaican dollars to Carol's pikney and then I see mine running full boar down the beach again [img]/forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/eek2.gif[/img]

Now there is no one to watch my bag or fruit or towel, so I go running down the beach after Imanni hands full, face read, sweat pouring down [img]/forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/70394-bawlout.gif[/img]

I call to him, but it does no good [img]/forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/mad.gif[/img]

When I catch him, I pull his little shorts down and spank his bottom [img]/forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/mad.gif[/img] DO NOT RUN AWAY FROM ME! [img]/forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/mad.gif[/img]


People are watching, and I hear one say "You need fi watch dat pikney" [img]/forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/70456-eyebrows.gif[/img]


[img]/forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/70394-bawlout.gif[/img]


I make him hold my hand and we head back to the Condos. I stop by the shower to get some of the sand off of me and a lady says "Ma'am that gentleman is trying to get your attention, he wants to talk to you about the fruit" [img]/forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/shocked.gif[/img] [img]/forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/mad.gif[/img]
"Tell him I need to handle my pikney, and when I have his money he will get it" "If thats not good enough he can have his fruit back" [img]/forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/mad.gif[/img]

I gather everything and make Imanni hold my hand till we get inside.

*sigh*

I lean back against the door and contimplate staying inside the rest of the week [img]/forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/smirk.gif[/img] [img]/forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/crazy.gif[/img]
