Aunt Melanie and the ICCI Toy drive with Santa and Rudolph

Katie's sister Melanie arrived on island last night for her month long stay.  To get the visit started off right we headed up to Rum Point this morning for a first dip in the Caribbean.  Melanie will be here by herself for ten days so she is learning to drive on the left and to practice she was our driver up to the north side.  Before going to Rum Point we headed into Cayman Kai and down to starfish beach.  This time we were lucky and saw a couple of starfish.  Then, it was over to Rum Point and a couple of hours of beach and sun.


This afternoon and early evening was the ICCI toy drive with Santa and Rudolph in attendance.  Arianna was fascinated by Rudolph and followed him around pulling his tail and generally trying to hug him as much as possible.


Santa on the other hand didn't merit much interest when he came out and merited some tearful scared looks when it was time for pictures with him.


It was a fun evening though and we got a lot of toys donated for needy kids in the Bodden Town area.


We have two days with Mel before we head north for our Christmas vacation and with any luck introduce Arianna to snow.
