We left for our first family vacation on Saturday afternoon. After lots of driving and an overnight stay in a random hotel in South Carolina, we arrived in Daytona Beach yesterday.
We plan on doing nothing other than lounging and relaxing. So far, it's been exactly that. We did have to go to the store to get some supplies (peanut butter--a must for us, bagels, cereal...) and swimmie diapers for the kids.
Why do babies like the water so much? I am not sure, but for some reason, all kids love the water, regardless of their age. Even Nikki, who doesn't much care for baths, Loved the pool. That's with a capital "L." After spending roughly half an hour smearing them with sunscreen, putting on their swimmies, and packing our beach bag, we ventured out to the pool for some fun. We spent about 10 minutes in the kiddie pool before we were bombarded with little kids who were fascinated by our babies. So, we switched to the adult pool.
Both Ben and Nikki loved the pool. We spent almost 30 minutes in the water before calling it quits. Ben wasn't as excited as Nikki, but he had just woken from a nap before we went out. Nikki splashed around a lot, kicked her feet, splashed with her arms, tried to grab the bubbles, watched the waves, water, her feet, our feet, and whatever else she could see. She giggled almost non-stop. Ben managed to do some splashing, but he was generally still tired and was content to have Joe do most of the playing for him.
Afterwards, we had to go directly back to our room so that the kids could take a nap. That was almost 2 hours ago, and they are still sleeping. It sure didn't take much to wear them out!
(Silly me, I forgot to bring my cord to transfer pictures to the computer, so I'll have to share them later.)
