Today we were not up until 8am!!! Ahhhh.....this is the life. Got up and got the coffee going - Dan went to the gym to lift weights. Soon papapa got up and Krissy was wakened because....well her bed is a Murphy bed in the living room. Lucky her! And soon after Zach, Maddie and Mamama were up too! It was a beautiful morning. The sun was out - no marine layer existed and the heat was incredible. Krissy and I ran to the Mini Mart and got a few breakfast supplies and we got breakfast going. We were at the pool by 10am again - and you could just tell by the heat outside that it was going to be hot!! Today is Krissy's first day of school too!
Papapa stayed up in the room for a little while - but he soon joined all of us. Dan and Krissy played water volleyball most of the morning and Mamama and I were with the kids. I had a Chi-Chi by 10:30 am.....boy - this is the life - you just swim up to the bar and order!! :) I am thinking I should put a pool in at home??? Of course with a swim up bar!!
Maddie was grumpy and stopped listening and was not being nice to her "friends" so I promptly took her and Zach up to the room...Krissy joined us followed by Mamama - and the kids were STARVING!! Of course it was 12:55 - no wonder! Boy time sure does fly when you are having fun. Daddy was still into his volleyball game - but came up shortly. There was strong odor of "paint fumes" in our room and I called down to the front desk to ask how to air out the room - since the kids would be napping. Dan grabbed a bite to eat and headed back down to the pool - papapa was there and holding our "spot" around the pool. Mamama and I got the kids down for a nap and Krissy and I went back down to the pool. Dan was playing poolside BINGO and it was 2:30pm....30 minutes to happy hour...2 for 1 chi-chi's for me!! :) Dan then joined in on a Texas hold 'em poker game... I still haven't asked how he did.
I went up at about 4pm to check on Mamama and the kids since we never did hear back from the front desk. All was good...I did take her a Chi-Chi to enjoy! Kids were still asleep so I went back down and got papapa, Dan and Krissy and all the gear to go up and start dinner.
We had Cornish game hens with rice, corn and peaches. Dan did a wonderful job....he is really sun burned and miserable - but he made dinner for all of us. We went for a "night swim". This is were we go when the pool is no longer in the sun and we swim until the lights come on in the pool. The kids love this....it's so fun to point out to them that the lights come on - they really light up. Zach had his first pool side "accident".....but thank goodness it wasn't in the pool. the couples there got a chuckle out of him putting his knees together and whimpering as he wet his swim trunks....but the sweet little guy wanted to go up to the room as soon as that happened. Dan took him up and got him ready for bed. Krissy, papapa and I played some water volleyball. We all headed up stairs - it was 9pm......another 2 hours at the pool.
Today was so hot that you couldn't step on the stones around the pool without feeling as if you were burning your feet. But to look around at the beauty and see the moon in it fullness shine down was breath taking. Another day with family that could never be forgotten.
