Another day indulging in resort life, our day didn’t begin until our kids rolled out of bed at 7:45. We got ready and headed to the Regency Club for breakfast and a great time hanging out with the Thomas family and its off-shoots.
After breakfast, we headed out to the pool. Marin is loving floating around in the pool, it is pretty cute. Mason is having a great time playing with Nate and feeling much more comfortable in the water. Kenz has always been such a water baby and is loving the pool. There is also a water slide which she has had a lot of fun going on (both Dave and I also tried it out). After a couple hours hanging out in the pool to stay cool in the 110 degree heat, we headed back to our rooms for a little lunch and some downtime – there is only so much time you can spend outside.
Dave picked up Jordan from the airport, and then we enjoyed a mellow evening of a light dinner, cousins playing, adults visiting, and early to bed for our worn out kids.
Kids: Our kids think it is great having their own room (adjoining), and for whatever reason they think it gives them this whole new realm of independence. They want snacks and their water bottles in their fridge. They want our room number, so they can call “just in case.” It is pretty cute!

We enjoyed large showers this morning again, got ready for the Thomas Family Picture, and headed out for a quick breakfast and off to the picture. It is pretty impressive to see how quick and efficient these picture go considering that there are 24 people involved including a half-dozen young ones.
After the picture, we had a lovely visit with Dave’s grand-parents! And then we headed off to another day in the hot Arizona sun at the pool. The kids love the pool. Marin is getting around quite well and thinks of herself as a proficient swimmer.
Dave wasn’t feeling too hot (haha) this afternoon so laid around in bed while I tended to the children (j/k- poor guy!) The kids played with their cousins for a long while – coloring, legos, make-believe, outside – it was fun. Then, off to the pool for another round and to dinner. Pretty mellow and simple days here in “resort life”.
Good night sweet friends and family. We love you.
Marin: “I swim by myself.”
Marin: “Mama sit there. I swim.” {She thinks she is a water safe fish.}
Cora (cousin): “I have a quad too, but it’s not here.” {Referring to a Lego quad}
