Vacation!! (day 7)

Off to a slow start today. All of the swimming and sunshine is wearing the kids out, so they've been sleeping later and later. This morning, Adrian and I were actually able to enjoy some coffee and conversation before the kids rolled out of bed. The kids have always been early birds, so the quiet morning was much appreciated.

We spent most of the day at the pool. The day was really windy, and the waves were too intense for boogie boarding. Adrian tried to go out there once but got smacked around and beat up by the waves. I had wanted to go out too, but if it was rough on Adrian, there was no way I was going to attempt it. The wind really picked up in the afternoon and a lot of beach umbrellas were blown across the beach.

It grew cloudy and lightly sprinkled briefly while we were in the pool. T grew tired early, so Adrian took him back up to our condo. While Oo and I were practicing our back-floats, we saw a rainbow over us.

Oo would never admit it, but I think she's starting to feel a little homesick. When it was time for us girls to go up for dinner, she showed me a little garden she had found. She said that her feet haven't touched grass all week and that it felt so good to walk in the grass.


Adrian made pasta for dinner. After dinner, there was some play time and lots of snuggling with the kids. While we were putting the kids to bed, various folks on the beach began setting off fireworks. This has gone on every night that we've been here, but tonight's fireworks were more abundant than usual. The night was too windy for fireworks, but that didn't deter anyone. Sure enough, a firework blew into some dunes and caught the tall grass on fire. Idiots! No respect for nature!


Adrian and I watched the commotion from our balcony. It took a long time for the fire department to arrive to put out the blaze. As soon as the fire was out, we went to bed. It was a little early, but we were hoping to have another quiet morning where we'd wake up before the kids.
