nothing like a blogging in the wee hours of the morning, getting ready to head home. of course, as luck would have it, sylvi has been up since midnight with some sort of something that is bothering her. *sigh* the little booger is not happy, nor are her parents happy at the thought of traveling 18hrs home with a possibly sick (or atleast very tired) baby either. for the record, it's 4:54am beach time.
the rest of the beach vacay went really well. isa got alot of time in the pool, which was the definite favorite destination for everyone. not that sand isn't fun too, but after the novelty wears off, the pool is just easier. and she wasn't complaining. she used water wings for the first time and thoroughly enjoyed the freedom of getting around the pool on her own. i know there are nay-sayers, but for a kid who 'swims' as well as isa, water wings are more of a tool than a crutch. not to mention a whole lotta fun too. as usual, she was going full-throttle-- hucking herself off the side, going under and touching her feet on the bottom of the pool, throwing her head back underwater (this looked really bizarre, but she said she was being a sea lion, so we didn't argue).
last night we went out to a japanese steak house on a whim. normally dining out (whim or no whim) with isa is a crapshoot, but she had a nice nap yesterday and a good swim, so we thought we'd go for it. plus we figured the entertainment factor of the chef would be a hit. and it was! we all had a blast and the food was fantastic. isa ate her weight in fried rice, miso, and steak, while sylvi soaked it all in and cat napped a little too. we even got compliments on how well-behaved they were, which is always nice to hear from perfect strangers. maybe we just got lucky, but they don't know that right? ;)
ahhh, vacation. that pretty much sums up the rest of the beach week. while we are not looking forward to the long way home, or the return to the grind, it will be nice to get back to 'normal'. the kiddos have been troopers, sickness and all, but will probably be happy to be in their own beds and back with their buddies. all in all it was a fabulous vacation. many thanks to nanny, queen, and nana for making it so great. next time, however, isa demands that she get to see her papa bubba! or that he atleast comes to visit asap!
*the mommy takes full responsibility for an typos. it's early and she is pre-coffee, thank you very much.
I MISS YOU ALL SO MUCH ALREADY...it was hard loading and looking at all the pictures tonight. What a wonderful week it was. The girls were really good, especially considering they were a little puny to start with. Tell Isa I will talk to her soon. Rest up and enjoy being back in your own little nest...I am. XOXOXOX Love and hugs. Nanny
