We decided to take advantage of two great schedules in our family - Steve's work schedule and Faith's school schedule! It is great that they both allow us to take a mini-vacation in the middle of the week in September. So we are enjoying perfect temperatures (about 100 degrees) and an empty resort! To me it seems extra relaxing to be on vacation when no one else is here! In an effort to help me fully enjoy the surroundings, Shane made sure that he and I were both up to see the sunrise this morning! Thankfully it didn't rise until 6:30am!! And of course he thought that since the sun was up (barely!!) it must be time to put on swim suits and go swimming! I did inform him that it would be some time until we could do so, and that tomorrow he could forgo the sunrise wake up call!
The very excited little boy watching the sunrise! At least I had some enjoyable company!
We did make it out to the lake and the pool both before lunch! Shane conquered his fear of jumping into the water - last trip he needed to hold someone's hand to jump in! - but now he can do it all by himself! Then the kids thought it would be fun to jump in together! Not the best quality picture, but I thought it was pretty cute!
Once he started jumping in, there was no stopping Shane!!
After lunch the boat was ready to go! Grandpa Poelstra showed up too ready for a boat ride! And Faith was very excited to go on her first solo tube ride!
She did really well and really enjoyed herself! She did fall off, and after she realized that we were coming back to pick her up out of the water, her fear went away and she thought it was great!! I think she actually liked it that she fell off!
It was Grandpa's turn next to be pulled on the tube. He gets the prize for the best crash today!!
Ready to take the wheel!!
For now, she better only do that with the help of Daddy!!
Pretty funny...last time we were here, Grandpa and Grandma Bruinsma bought some Double Stuffed Mint Oreos for everyone to enjoy. While we all loved them, Shane especially thought they were pretty great! When we arrived yesterday, one of the first things he asked me was, "Mommy, can I have a mint Oreo please?" Proving once again that these kids do not forget a thing!! And he keeps asking for them, as if they just appear when we stay here!!
