Fun and Games...

Once we got done with our waterfall trip, we headed back to the resort just in time for the kids to enter the scavenger hunt. Of course, the entertainment crew helped them and by now they've renamed Little Man to "Stuart Little". So from now on, whenever someone saw him (even guests of the resort) they would say, "Hey Stuart!" It made his trip! :)




Every evening, they had kids disco time where they let the kids get on stage and dance around. Princess and this other little girl (she was German and really didn't speak any English) did this every single night. She loves the stage!

That evening the nightly show was on the beach and they had a man come to entertain that was called "Fire Man". He played with fire and made me squeal a few times because I was afraid he was going to burn something! Then he started balancing things on his head like, the microphone stand, a full length beach lounge chair, etc. Then they got this bright idea to put a wicker chair with MY SON sitting in it on his head. I was one nervous wreck until he came down!

Here's Princess and Matilda playing during the beach party. They were holding hands and building things in the sand together. I had to hide when I took their pictures because if they caught me, they'd run away. Silly girls! They were so cute!!

Here is Princess doing more disco dancing the next night..

Little Man trying his hand at balancing things...

Just a cute pic of Princess I thought...

And finally Matilda and Princess let me and her mom get a good picture of the two of them together. This part of the trip Princess will never forget!

ZUNUMBA

This nightly show was called "Zunumba" and was absolutely phenomenal. There was dancing, fire, fighting and of course, a love interest. :) It was so good and I was highly impressed.

The guards carrying in the princess....

Fire, fire and more fire!


This is a picture of the entire entertainment crew that helped make our trip so memorable. The kids had their favorites so I tried to get closeups of them.

This is Spiderman...he was a hoot!!!!!!

This is Chinaman...he really wanted to adopt Little Man and keep him! I told him only if he paid for us to come check on him about every three weeks! :)

This is Spongebob...an amazing "pop/lock" dancer...

This is one of the actors from the show who came down and talked with Princess afterwards. It was the first time I noticed her not being afraid of saying hi to the actors.

SNORKELING!!!!!!

I looked forward to this day the entire trip! It was the day we were going snorkeling and I was sure all of my hard work and practice with the kids was going to pay off! Well, Little Man did GREAT!!! He loves the water and is very comfortable in it. He would see a fish he liked and go after it and then be far away from the group and very leisurely swim back to us. I totally see him scubaing with his dad and grandpa in the near future. Princess on the other hand did really well once she came off the back of the boat and then she looked around and noticed nothing but water and had an honest to goodness panic attack. Jerod tried for awhile to get her to calm down but she was having none of it. Finally a woman offered to take her back to the boat and sit with her in there. I felt kinda guilty about that until she told me it was a great excuse for her to get out the water because she was freaking out herself. So the three of us got to snorkel together for a long time and had a lot of fun. It all worked out ok.

After snorkeling, we headed to this private beach where we ate lunch, played in the water and went down the slide that was on the boat. It was however, very wavy on they way there and the kids loved sitting on this trampoline part of the boat and letting the waves bounce them around. Princess came off completely once and was done after that but Little Man and I endured it to the end! :)

On this private beach, there were four dogs that belonged to the owner. I guess they knew my kids liked dogs because they followed them around everywhere. They even swam with them which the kids thought was hilarious. Making memories.....

This picture is for my cousin Keri who says I'm not in enough. :)

Views of our private beach...

The dogs even liked to hang out with my hubs. I understood...I think he's kinda great too!

Little Man and his dad just went down the slide.
