Vacation Day 2

Friday June 20
The kids slept okay that first night. Not as good as I hoped especially knowing how exhausted they were. They both seemed to be having little night terrors. Maybe they were dreaming about the 'Attack of the Giant Jellyfish!'
That morning the water was great and no jelly fish but they did come out later in the afternoon. Which seemed to be the trend each day. But it was nice to know you had some part of the day where you didn't have to worry. We played at the beach and then the pool in the morning and went in for the kids to get lunch and a much needed nap. Mom and Dad were nice enough to stay behind while us 'kids' went out to get some sushi. It was very yummy and I was stuffed!After nap time we went back out for more beach and pool time. Kaiden was always excited to go to the beach until we got down and walked by the pool. Once he saw the pool he just wanted to play there! But we convinced him to play at the beach first each time and then go to the pool. We didn't drive 5 hours to play in a pool all day! This was also Kaiden's first time this season playing in a big pool. He gets very skiddish about some things and the pool is one of them. All he wanted to do was run and play in the kiddie pool which maybe came up to his knees. Joe is so much more patient than I am and really worked with Kaiden and finally had him swimming with his "Dorrie" swim ring all by himself. Once he finally did and realized how fun it was he didn't want to play in the baby pool at all. It's just a matter of nicely forcing him to try it. As for Kal she's just ready for anything and was jumping off the side in a matter of seconds. I wonder if fearlessness will ever run out?
Kaiden loves playing the "bubble game" on Aaron's phone. So this is what he did while most of us were still sleeping.

Papa and Kaiden were the first ones on the beach. They enjoyed running around.GeGe and Kalli arrive for the dayI think this was the only time Kaiden would jump to me or anyone. He'd rather play it safe and just watch Kal jump in. After nap time Jellyfish Hunting I don't think Kaiden liked being left out Mom had a great idea and brought bubbles out to the beach. The kids loved chasing them around!BFFs

Kalli 'helped' me make a sand turtle

I wonder what the melt down was for this time??

We all helped bury Aaron...man that took a lot of sand!
