Nevertheless, we frolicked in the water--
--and watched HBO, and played miniature golf in the lobby--
--and ate heart-shaped bagels at Einstein Bros., and frolicked in the water some more--
--and made Matt Margaritas (a randomly-measured mixture of tequila, margarita mix, and ice in a little plastic hotel cup) after the girls went to bed, and made crafts (of course!) in the Kid's Club--
--and shopped at Half-Price Books and the Goodwill Outlet Store (speaking of redneck...), and tricked Matt into standing under things that would dump water on him--
--and let the girls spend two whole dollars in the arcade (a huge deal, actually, because my thrifty self loathes myself some arcades), and frolicked in the water just a little bit more--
--and graded all the rest of my papers while watching a Sci-Fi channel original movie (Wyvern!) after Sydney crashed at 6 pm, and there was also some relaxing that took place in the water, too:
See you next Valentine's weekend, Carribean Cove!
i love how the girls are wearing their UV protective swim-wear, INDOORS! better safe then sorry, i guess.
ReplyDeleteglad you had a nice time. i am most jealous about the goodwill outlet store.
That's a good guess, but they're actually dressed like that for a couple of reasons--1) it matches Mama--I wear swim trunks and a surf shirt because I find lady's swimsuits uncomfortable and horrifying; and 2) you would never believe it about me, perhaps, but I find little girls' swimsuits immodest. And uncomfortable, too, from the huge amount of little girls I saw picking at their butts this weekend.
ReplyDeleteGoodwill Outlet Store is the best. Thing. Ever! I'm always seriously afraid of picking up a communicable disease there, but I always find the best stuff hidden amongst the trash. And being there with a community of other low-rent dumpster-divers is also very comforting to me.
I'm super jealous! That looks like scads of fun :-)
ReplyDeleteHow old was Sydney the first time she went? I certainly don't think Lex is ready for that yet, but it's something I can look forward to in the not so distant future!
Also, I think Sydney's hair looks so freaking cute pulled back like that! The girls looked like they had so much fun :-)
sydney's hair is so cute like that! looks like so much fun!
ReplyDeleteSydney's first time at the water park came when she was a babe in arms, but Will was two by then.
ReplyDeleteNext year, we think she might be tall enough for the water slides!
