Good Tuesday Everyone...
 
Please excuse the several days that have gone by since my last post.  I came down with a particularly nasty case of Malaria last week and am just now able to post this after catching back up - to an extent - with work. 
 
The latter part of last week is nothing more than a fever riddled blur.  But, yesterday was one to remember.  We went to one of the local hotels for a day of swimming and fun.  We went with another family and were able to convince the receptionist to give us a price break.  (Note:  By 'price break' I mean she was able to reduce the cost of the swimming from more than $100 to less than $100 for all of us - there were 18 altogether.)
 
We arrived by 10 AM and left just before 5 PM.  One of the great things about this pool is that there is quite a large shallow end that is shallow enough to allow the little kids - Esther, Tawnee, and Ethan - to be able to touch the bottom.  They loved it!
 
H. is fearless.  If you're not careful, he'll just jump into the pool.  Turn your head for just a fraction of a second and in he goes!  He did it a time or two.  Going under didn't seem to bother him too much as he generally want to stay in the water when he did.
 
For lunch we were able to order from the pool-side menu.  No kid ever complains of a lunch consisting of French Fries and sandwiches.  We lugged in our own water so we were able to stay away from the $4 bottles of soda.  How many of those bad boys do you think Payton could've managed to force down during the day?  The over-under was 8.
 
Hope you have a great week.
