After an extended travel day on Friday, we all decided Saturday was going to be pretty low key. We got a good night's rest and decided it would be a pool day. Island Links has an awesome pool and our unit, like quite a few others, is conveniently located nearby. We all swam in the morning and the kids and women went back for more after lunch. Isaac seems to have figured out how to go under the water without getting it up his nose... sort of. Regardless, he was like a fish by the end of the afternoon.
We also got a good look at the resident turtles and alligators, who seem gracious enough to stay in or close to the resort's... pond(?)... or lagoon... or marsh... or whatever it's really called.

Anyway, it was a pretty relaxing day topped off with taco night and Ben & Jerry's. Mmmm... Ben & Jerry's. Phish Food. Half Baked. Chunky Monkey. Cinnamon Buns. Yes, I am a Weight Watcher... and I'm on vacation from that, too. Man, we killed some ice cream last night, and as some reading this may have assumed, Darren is still the champion. We also caught an interesting episode of River Monsters that featured the Snakehead fish. Scary fish with lots of teeth that seem to kill other fish for the fun of it (as opposed to just being hungry). And they seem to be able to move across small land masses. Okay, I've already written too much about River Monsters. We digress.
We called it an early night. I, for one, dozed multiple times while sitting with the computer in my lap. I awoke for the third time to the sound of Darren and Melanie snickering at me. You know, it is funny to watch someone doze off and wake up and try to remember what they were doing and try to function like a normal human being, only to have it happen again within the next thirty seconds... and the next thirty seconds... and then the next sixty seconds, until they realize how dumb they look and go to bed. So I went to bed.

It WAS funny watching Mike doze on the sofa. He's not lying about the twitching (read his earlier blog about Ella's birth)...it's hard core! We are having a blast so far! Everything has been perfect. Case in point, the girls (K and K) just put Ella to sleep! Nice break for mom and dad. Aren't kids wonderful?
