Llego el Dia...

The day has come.

Shannon and Joe officially left this morning. It shouldn't have felt like the surprise that it did. Here are some pictures from their last day with us:

Margo brought them flowers:

Joe and Dan decided to say goodbye to each other in their own special way:
We will miss you guys TONS!! Thank you for all your patience and encouragement! Looking forward to having you as bosses soon ;)

So while Dan and Joe were dancing to strobe lights and trying to start the kitchen on fire with their sparklers, our team of girls from UVA were very hard at work outside! Since the kids were off of school on wednesday, they stayed back with us to help do some odd jobs around the guesthouse. And let me tell you, these girls were AMAZING! Check it out:




It was also the day that we learned a lot about the force of gravity.... and coconuts. Joe told showed us how we will need to climb up into the coconut trees to knock down the coconuts before they decide to fall on their own... and possibly land on someone's head. Here is our first coconut lesson:

Step 1: Set up impossibly tall ladder into tree

Step 2: Have some really strong ladies hold that ladder tight:

Step 3: Send the only man crazy enough, up the tree with a saws-all:


The Carnage

In the process of clearing out that mess of branches and coconuts, the ladies learned a second very important lesson about gravity and coconuts. We asked them to re-inact it for you here:


Yes. Flying coconuts+Gravity+Truck = lesson #2

Haha, we love you guys :)
