We woke up Monday morning in Nassau, Bahamas--could this get any better?!?! The weather was perfect~ and we got a slower start but finally got off the boat with swimming suits and WALKED, and WALKED until we found a nice little beach. Our children had never been swimming in the ocean or played on a beach, let's just say they all took to it pretty well--except for Matthew who didn't really care for the sand at first and wanted to be held.
Sam quickly got to work building a sand castle:
Lindsey cracked us up with getting drenched in the water, and then rolling in the sand and then running back to the ocean to get washed off, silly girl!!
After spending the morning basking in the sand and sun, we boarded the boat and had some lunch. Not before us women folk stopped to spend some time with the street vendors. I got straw purses for the girls, some coconut shells turned into wind up turtles for the boys, and a couple of cute necklaces.
We then dropped our kids off in the wonderful kids area while Stephen and I took a break and let Matthew take a nap. It was so nice to just sit and relax and read, our room had a 4 foot in diameter window with a seat and I loved just sitting and looking out into the most blue water!! Here we are with Nassau in the background!
Dinner that night was memorable at the Animator's Palate. We were surprised when the TV screens came to life and started interacting with us!
They even singled Matthew out and named him "Nemo" because he was wearing an orange romper with white stripes. He LOVED the attention and laughed and clapped his hands!That night it was my turn to take Kaitlyn to the show featuring some of the Disney Villains. And got home just in time for Stephen to go watch "Tron" in 3D with his brothers. We slept well and couldn't wait for the morning~~CASTAWAY CAY!!
