the unbelizeable trip, part 1

I belize it's about time I posted some of my Belize pictures.  Being that there are a lot I think I may have to do a couple posts as to not overwhelm you.  The trip was great- I mean it's a no brainer when you have warm weather, a beach, great company, and good food. But from here on out I'll let the pictures (and my captions) do the talking.

on the plane, ready to ditch the cold in Utah and get to the warm sun in Belize!

Waiting to take the boat to Caye Caulker- the island we stayed on.

the guy has some great dance moves.

- Now to introduce our group: -

Alex & Annie

Adam & Jess

Celisa ... and ... Trent

(and of course Harold and I but I didn't get a shot of us on the roof since I was taking the pics)

Seriously though, this group was the bomb. After the trip I missed waking up with all these people and being them all day everday. and I am pretty sure the sentiments are returned.

anyways.. moving forward

just walking around the island. caye caulker is just a tiny little island that is about 4 miles long and a half mile wide. No cars are allowed here, just golf carts and bikes- like this rando is doing in the pic. I loved that you could get everywhere on foot- such a fun little beach town!

Once we arrived on the island I don't think Al wore shoes once. or a shirt. the guy knows how to do a vacation right.

Harold makes friends with this random local who turned out to be quite the gem. Probably a bit drunk but he gave us quite a laugh.  Anytime you said something like "love" "appreciation" "thank you" he would say, "hey, how'd you know my name?"  We all thought it was hilarious.  (maybe you had to be there?)

"appreciation" and Alex dancing

We told "love" it was our friend Jess' birthday so he said he was going to make a birthday crown for her.  So he got some leaves and sticks and some how fashioned this lovely hat for jess.

buddies

the gang.. but how about that scenery?

just two buddies just enjoying a nice sunset on the beach.. 

nothing like ending a fun day with a fabulous lobster dinner (I even tried it and liked it)

these guys really bonded on this trip.. true friends rub ocean potion on each other.

-bored yet? good, let's keep going-

this picture is for mary martha. 

all the girls. again, wouldya look at that scenery???

 celisa thought we should have a pic of just us 3. a bit silly since we are all friends, but the three of us have been friends since elementary school. 

Trent found this star fish and we had some fun with it..

annie's first encounter with a starfish.

so silly

Celisa tried to make it stick to her.. but to no avail

Sorry to make such an abrupt ending to these pics but I got to run.  Hope this first dose leaves you wanting more and coming back to part 2 of this trip.

p.s. go cougars tonight! team jimmer baby!
