Cabrits

Unfortunately my camera lost battery power half way through the trip so this was the only picture I got of Fort Shirley. The canons are great for sitting on and pretending to blast the boats out of the water.

These are thorns on these huge trees. They are much longer than rose thorns. 

Marissa is the brave one of the Roys. She was the one grabbing the crabs and running around, then Ben would jump in when he saw all was safe.

So I discovered that if you pick up a hermit crab and shake it a little it'll peak out at you. It's a great crowd pleaser for kids. Plus its cool to see if they can reach your fingers with their pinchers, not so cool if they succeed!

These are the trees with the giant thorns on them. 

On our walk to the Commandant's Quarters we found these giant leaves that were almost bigger than Xiomara. I'm totally contemplating going back for fresh leaves to make into little fairy skirts.
