Mr. Happy in Aruba

Our trip to Aruba was great, very eventful. There are so many things to tell. The first big event was the group picture with Mr. Happy :+) We also met some new friends their picture is after Mr. Happy. On Good Friday the day was not so good for a hotel guest named Frank. He was swimming and had a heart attack, unfortunately he died. The one thing I did learn was try not to die in a foreign country, because even though you are having a great time, they let you lay on the beach wrapped in towels forever. Good Friday was also Deb & John anniversary. But in Aruba his name is spelled "Don". Also there was some kind of weather event while we were there. The waves were huge and the tide came up into some of the hotel rooms in the middle of the night. Lucky for us we didn't have one of those rooms. But the weather did get Debbie wet having her morning coffee. We did partake in some local customs while there, one was after dinner shots out of the bottle. The local beer was also pretty good. I think we got our money from that all-inclusive feature. At night we would hold the sun countdown, that was a great way to end a hard day of drinking, eating and swimming. At night we would gather at the coconut bar for more alcohol consumption, and also to watch Matthew with his new family. He meet a girl and spent time with her family, they are from Chicago, so I guess he will be asking for plane fare this summer:+)
