Once again, we find our winter selves living vicariously through cousins Sam and Bridget and their fabulous sons, Tyler, Alex and Zachary, who summarily and shockingly ditched their beloved cousins, i.e., us-all, over New Year's and went sailing in the Caribbean instead of staying here in the character-building Northland to ice-fish, play 500, jump cars and hibernate with the rest of us Minnesota cousins. On this particularly freezing week, we thought we'd share some photos from their cruise to warm us-all up. You can see lots more photos
here.
Here's the ship they sailed on. It's almost as nice as Uncle Elmer's fishing boat.
In this photo of empty beer bottles, tall glasses and a non-cousin go-go dancer, you may also notice some cousins. There they are, the scamps -- Sam, Zachary, Bridget, Tyler and Alex. We simply cannot understand how they could have fun without the rest of us. What amusement can lolling in a luxurious swimming pool atop a gorgeous cruise ship in a climate paradise whilst sipping large, colorful drinks with pastel umbrellas in them as groovy reggae music wafts on the gentle flower-kissed breeze possibly be without their extra-large, extra-loud Miller cousins doing cannonballs nearby?
Tyler, Alex and Zachary posed during a leisurely swim outing to some paradise-like location. Almost as nice as the Old Frontenac beach.
Bridget, Zachary, Alex, Tyler and Sam at some mysterious, haunted, ivy-draped ruin. Almost as nice as cousin Pam's historic Old Frontenac outhouse, wouldn't you say?
A serious note -- during the cruise, their ship encountered a small boat carrying Cuban refugees adrift on the high seas. Sam took this photo of folks from the boat going out to meet it. The cruise ship took the refugees aboard and they were later picked up from the Coast Guard. Sounds like some lives might have been saved.
