The highlight of our second day, and Timmy's trip in it's entirety, was a trip to the
Cayman Turtle Farm. As soon as we learned we were going to Grand Cayman and started researching activities we realized this was
not to be missed. Cayman Turtle Farm is a facility that breeds sea turtles for a variety of purposes, in a touristy setting where people can learn about and interact with a plethora of sea turtles. You can hold baby sea turtles, and even swim with them, which was perhaps the highlight of Timmy's life thus far. Our time at the turtle farm was not only extremely fun, but also educational. I'm not sure what words will properly articulate how much we enjoyed our time there, so I'll let the pics speak for themselves!

The rest of the day was a hodgepodge of fun. We ate lunch at
The Cracked Conch. Our taxi driver recommended it and boy did she ever pick a great place. The food was delicious, but above that the setting was unreal. Simply stunning.

Next our taxi driver took us to a little place on the island called Hell. It's an old reef that is above water now and has formed a landscape that really looks like... well, Hell!

The boys were so exhausted on the way home that Henry fell asleep in my arms which never happens anymore. I enjoyed every minute of it!!
And this guy, despite being exhausted didn't nap very long so he & I headed down to the pool and beach where his new toy turtle laid eggs. It was pretty adorable.
The evening finished up with an amazing dinner at
Copper Falls Steakhouse. It was an amazing dinner, but the boys were.... difficult that evening, so needless to say getting pictures was the last thing on my mind, as I was trying not to strangle anyone! lol. But crazy boys at dinner aside they day was fabulous!
yes! we went to the cayman islands when i was in 5th grade and it's stunning. i vividly remember the turtle farm, and swimming with sting rays. gorgeous pictures, gorgeous family!
