This is B-Mart and M-Dub reporting from the beautiful Andros Island. Tonight we have our special guest "Lil' Zack" We hope you are enjoying your 30's with snow as much as we are enjoying our not 30's with snow. We started the day off with the Tongue of the Ocean. By that we mean the part where she drops to 6,000 feet. We dropped a conch shell until we couldn't see it anymore....it disappeared after about 400 feet (33 seconds). The waves were huge and some people got a little sea sick.(Cerne puked three times, but he is a-ok now.) Next stop was a Barrier Reef. Here we got some ink fresh out of a squid. Then, we saw a rum-running ship wreck. Sorry parents, we didn't find the treasure, or the gold. We got some grub and then headed out to Pigeon Key for a little lab experiment. Here we grabed some coraline algae and searched for the organisms that live inside of them. We found some crabs, brittle stars, and an orange eel. After some frisbee, we headed back to the homestead for a camp soccer match with Chad the superstar. We had the best din din of the week and we shall end this day with thy weaving of the baskets. This is Brett, Mitchell, and Zack saying snow? What is snow?
Hey mom, this is Justin. Will you please turn my computer on and log on. The password comes up as the hint. I promise it won't mess anything up. I want it to record Human Planet for our AP Bio class. Tyvm
ReplyDeletePS. The Bahamas is great, enjoy your snow.
Hi Tammie,
ReplyDeleteJump into the water for me. It looks like a blast! Check out the bus for Dad. Maybe even a few pictures of the cool paint job if you get a chance. You know we are always getting ideas for the bus demo. Love ya! :)
Hi Shannon! What a great day you had today. I hope you are enjoying snorkling and didn't get sea sick today. You have such beautiful weather! I can't wait to hear about all of your experiences.

Robyn...Sammi misses you but it is too cold for a bike ride here anyway. Looks like everyone is getting a great tan... you all look happy and healthy. Take care...The Gier's
ReplyDeleteHello Kayla-Good to see some pictures. You all look like your having a wonderful time. Looks like the weather is beautiful. We are watching the Sabres-they are up 1-0. Hopefully they can pull it off. We can't wait to see you. We got Emma's bike today. She is so anxious to ride it. Hopefully the weather gets better, she got a helmet to match. Busy making easter candy so we can fatten you up when you get home. We luv and miss ya lots. Be careful.
ReplyDeleteTo Zach & Noah,
ReplyDeleteWe are glad to hear that you are able to do everything the big kids are doing. It looks like a trip of a lifetime and lots of fun. Hope you guys are being good for Mom. We went from having snow to some of the worst rain and thunder storms in years. Uncle Mike flew to Houston on Monday and was flying back Tuesday. He was supposed to get in Buffalo at 11:00 PM. Because of the storms, he didn't get in till after 3:00 AM. Murphy is doing fine. He and Ellie trade kisses every day.Miss you guys.
Love,
Nana & Papa
Hey Hannah B...Sabres won! Miss you! That's all...love mom:)
ReplyDeleteBrett,
ReplyDeleteI'll bet the rum runner wreck was awesome...too bad about not finding the treasure or the gold. We're glad to see you all still smiling in that nasty sun. We are fortunate that we don't have to put up with all that sunshine. The only bright spot we have is the Sabres won 1-0, series tied 2-2. See you soon.
Love, Mom and Dad
Justin, Computer is back on-line... I hope. Computers stink when you're not here...So does the weather, so hurry up and pack up that sun for us! Dad and Beth say HI! Luv ya, mom
ReplyDeleteHey Sean! Miss ya tons but it looks like you're having a great time.
ReplyDeleteLove ya, Mom, Dad, Nate, and Joy
Hi Andy - So glad to see the pictures and hear the stories - glad to see all is going well (except the Cerne puking x 3). We wish you could stay another week and enjoy your friends, the weather and the culture. Take a minute and look around - take it all in and enjoy it while you can. Hope you're taking tons of pictures to share. Uncle Karl is up from Texas for a few days and says "hi" Enjoy everything - See you Saturday :)
ReplyDeleteLove Dad, Mom, Matt and LardiCat
Hi Clayton - just got back from the Sabres game. Arena was nuts! It was a great game! No postcards yet...they better be out :) Ha Ha! you got sick on the boat??? That's what dramamine is for. Hope you're doing better now :) Love all the pics - see you in 3 days! Have fun!
ReplyDeletemom & dad
Hi Kayla,
ReplyDeleteI like the picture of you up on the blog! The weather down in the bahamas looks so nice compared to Bradford's weather. Only two days of classes left for me this year. Can't wait to see you on saturday. Love you and miss you.
Nick
We love hearing about your daily adventures! We can't wait to see your example of "thy weaving of the baskets." Appreciate this wonderful experience!!! The population of Pominville increased by one as the Sabres won Game 4, evening the series at two (back to Philly for Game 5). Hopefully, you bring back the warmth and sunshine on Saturday...We are sick of snow, freezing temperatures, high winds, rain, and thunderstorms. Drink lots of water, use sunscreen, and stay away from your catcher when he is feeling seasick!
ReplyDeleteGood morning, Shannon!
ReplyDeleteLove the pictures from yesterday. I'm not sure what Zach and Kayla are holding, but I'm sure it's a cute creature. Can't wait to hear about your adventures you will have today.
Maggie and I are going to Old Orchard Beach and maybe Portland Head Light. I'm planning on meeting one of my PV students at OOB. Se lives in MA, and you've never met her. The weather is nice here, but not even close to yours.
I agree with Andy's dad - your time is slowly ending on Andros Island. Find some time just to breathe in that air and truly enjoy the moment. God's world is beautiful.
Sweet breads will be cooling when you get home.
I love you, MGC, Love Mom, xo
Hi Robyn! Hope you're enjoying the sun; we are freezing up here. Harley wants to know if you found him a BIG shell or starfish. Don't get seasick. Looks like you're having fun
ReplyDeleteLove mom & Harley

Hey Kids!! Love reading this blog every day and getting more and more jealous - it all looks fabulous! Two things: make sure someone takes a good picture of just the seniors for the slide show (yes,,, I am thinking about the end of the year while you guys are basking, crazy, i am) Also-Hannah- have you had the conch yet?? Love to all House
ReplyDeleteCeline...
ReplyDeleteWhile you and friends keep me posted about your trip, I just want to let you know about life at 2078...ummm, uh huh. That's all! ;p (Milo did sleep through the night for the first time though...6 blissful hours of sleep minus waking up wondering why he was sleeping so long...)
Much love, Mom
Hey Hannah,
ReplyDeleteYou guys are really lucky to be down in the Bahamas. The best field trip I ever went on was to Roswell Park Cancer Institute to look at a lousy rat with a tumor on its back. Have you seen any Scarus guacamaia or Holocentrus adscensionis on your dives? Steer clear of those spotted Scorpaena plumieri.
Uncle Tom and Lil' Bit
Hi Julie, Lisa, and Rhonda. Greetings from Denver! It was so nice to see you on screen, and glad to hear that you are having a great time in the Bahamas. Hope to see you soon. Lots of love, Jim / aka Dad :)

ReplyDeleteHi Aunt Julie! Cool pictures. Have fun at the Bahamas! love you,Kate
ReplyDeleteHi Kate!
ReplyDeleteJust checking for an update before I go to bed. Went to Portland Head Light, Old Orchard Beach for a dog park run (Maggie forgets she was a racer) and then for another lobster meal with a former PV student. We plan on leaving here around 7am tomorrow. I'm hoping to make it to Good Friday service. I'll check for today's blog tomorrow. I love forward to seeing you soon. Enjoy every minute...
Love, Mom MGCxo
Hello All!
