I’ve come to the conclusion that a vacation with kids is really just work in a different place. Sure, there is no cooking and cleaning, but trying to keep three small kids fed and happy and entertained just doesn’t amount to much relaxation.
Today was pretty laid-back. We walked the grounds of the hotel, checked out the gym and kids’ club, went to the beach, and booked our excursions for the next few days. Honestly, it was as relaxing as this vacation will get. Starting tomorrow we have a whirlwind of activities lined up for the rest of the week. We figure this is pretty much a once-in-a-lifetime trip, so we’re going to take advantage of it and do everything we can.
We added to our list of animals. We have also now seen iguanas, toucans, tortoises, and a curious creature that has a monkey body but a head more like a…. ferret? I’ll have to ask someone about that.
Highlights of the day: Michael’s grin as Rich held him in the ocean and they jumped up over each wave that came; Faith’s face with her sunglasses and sunhat on; Michael eating a really big lunch and dinner; Faith drinking Fanta on the terrace (she had "her" chair out there that she always wanted to sit in while she drank Fanta); Lauren wanting to hold my hand as she fell asleep; Faith giggling as she runs through the waves and they knock her over.
