Cayman photo editing material!

Highlights from the Cayman Islands!

Hi girls! Mrs. C's blog post on her Easter break highlights (CUTE shoes!) inspired me to post a few of my own vacation highlights. Here are a few pictures from the Cayman Islands - and those of you who have seen the video of my (terrified) stingray experience know that the picture of me smiling is very inaccurate! Oh, what a vacation!
