We spent Thursday night at the hotel and woke up Friday morning and spent some time at the beach and then came back and spent more time at the kid pool at the hotel. Then while Devin was napping (he was so exhausted David just laid him on the top bunk and he crashed immediately--and yes the kids loved having bunk beds!!) David took the older two across the ferry to Boliver's Peninsula. They just went and came back, but the kids had never been on a ferry before and loved feeding the seagulls.
Sorry the pictures are a bit out of order and I really don't feel like fixing them... :)
The candy store
Friday night we went down to the Strand, (just rows of little old fashioned shops) and spent some in this great soda shop/candy store. Then we went to the Rain Forest Cafe for dinner. The kids were overwhelmed. They loved the noises and excitement. It was terribly sad, however, because they have a signature dessert there called a volcano. They would yell "Volcano!!" every time they brought it from the kitchen. It has a sparkler in it and everything, but of course it had milk in it, so we couldn't get one. However, David did get the waiter to give us a sparkler so, now I need to keep my promise to make an "Emily approved" one here some time.
Notice the snake hanging from the ceiling about to eat my baby!!!
The beach--there were mountains of sand that they were using for cleanup from the last hurricane that hit down in mexico and brought us tons of rain.
Seagulls seen from the ferry
Saturday we got up leisurely and ate and packed up and then head to Schiltterbaun. We all had a blast. David and I would switch off sitting with Devin and then riding slides with the older kids. During one of those times, David had Devin and so he put him in a double kid float, (so that David is in an inner tube connected to Devin's, but Devin's had a bottom on it.) Anyway, Devin curled up in the float and the waves of the lazy river just knocked him out. He looked just like an Anne Geddes picture.
They also had a place where you can practice surfing/knee boarding. David and the kids all tried it while I took some pictures. My little Emily was the only one (out of David and Dallin) that got up on her knees and rode that way for a few seconds. My little daredevil.
Well, we had a blast and enjoy the pictures. We didn't really get a vacation this summer with David starting a new job, tons of money going to open-heart surgery, and having a baby, plus just having an infant is hard enough, so it was nice to get away and have some fun for a weekend!

Emily (didn't get a picture of her on her knees, but she did it and looked fabulous)
