More Pool Fun

After the playground (see below), we were going to take a dip in the indoor pool. But by the time we got ready (and in our case, got the car packed, since we had to check out), the sun emerged! Hooray! So we were back at the outdoor pool.

Mike and I hadn't had a chance to try the water slide yesterday, but it looked like fun. And Tash and Nora were willing to hold the babies for us, so we went for it. It was a surprisingly fast and thrilling slide, all in the dark! It was great! (And best of all, no lines!) The adults and Izzy went a couple of times, and then Daniel wanted to go, so Tash held him on her lap going down -- the look on his face as he came out the bottom was rather terrified! But Mommy and Daddy were there to console him, so he recovered quickly. :)

Just like yesterday, Matthew loved the water, especially walking around in it. James liked it well enough, but he was definitely ready for naptime, so he was a little more mellow than yesterday.

When it came time to go, the boys fell asleep in their carseats before we even made it out of the hotel parking lot. :)

It was a whirlwind trip, but well worth it to hang out with everyone and have some summer fun before school starts (the day after tomorrow!) Traveling with twin babies/toddlers is never exactly relaxing (except when they're sleeping or strapped into carseats or strollers, they require constant vigilance), but being somewhere with other adults (especially family) definitely makes it more enjoyable.
