If you're at all interested (and by interested, I mean looking for a good bedtime story because this may put you to sleep) I'm going to quickly explain a bit about what John does. He started out with internet marketing. He would build websites for affiliates in various fields and work his search engine optimizing magic to get to the top of search engines for relevant key words. He got so busy with this that he decided to start hiring employees. He hired a couple of Americans, but they were expensive and short term. Someone turned him on to hiring Filipinos. They are hard working, inexpensive, and very loyal. After a few years of hiring and training employees, people started to ask for his expertise in outsourcing to The Philippines. Now he has put together a whole training program to help other internet businesses out source here as well. So he held a seminar for business owners to come to the country and learn directly from him. (Not sure if I even got all that right!) He and his partner Dan did such a great job. I'm so proud of John and his amazing work ethic. So here is where the seminar took place. Laci's husband Todd was one of their speakers. It was a 3 day event with breaks for scuba diving and (of course) sunset sailing. It was fun for the kids and me to be around. Austin was so interested and seriously sat in on hours of the meetings. It was a great weekend, but we are glad it's over since I was alone with the kids for most of it and John had to be "on" all the time.
Sorry about that. On to more exciting things like ice cream on the beach
Makes everyone happy
Watching TV, sharing a chair. Just so sweet
Girls getting up the hill together
A little Kim and Laci time. This is our very favorite place for a smoothie. Jonah's Fruit Shake.
It's a little ghetto, but we loved it and frequented it almost daily (there, are you happy "MisterEd"? Whoever the heck you are- You weird-o)
And a lot of shopping together at D*Mall (that's what the sign says behind us)
Of course, a little more Speedo spotting
Check the tan on this couple. My Uncle Dana is probably drooling! (thanks for not sporting a speedo at least!)
There's not a lot of animal life that we've seen on the island (nothing like Costa Rica), but Bailey caught this tiny lizard in her bathtub! She carried around in a cup until she got brave enough to touch it, then hold it, which lead to squishing it to death. Poor guy!
We found this big daddy crawling around our patio. Seriously the biggest hermit crab I have ever seen. 
We are really on the count down now. We leave Boracay a week from today, spend two days in Manila and are home April 1.

My girls are here loving the pics of your kids, and of that big crab! Thanks for all the updates. What an amazing trip!
We're excited to have you guys back home!
That is one(or a few) crazy tan!! It almost looks like they painted themselves dark brown/black!
Kim, you are so tanned!! I'm so jealous of you.
