Part 12: Mega swimming.
This day we swam in every available moment. We started off by going to the main pool. We bought Paige a new bathing suit at the poolside shop as her other one was now worn through and ragged from so much swimming.
After about 20 minutes of swimming the pool was shut down for maintenance or something for 40 minutes, so we had a quick snack and travelled on to the pirate ship pool. Much easier to handle when it is in the sun at that time of day.
When I wanted to bribe the girls to get out of the pool I bought them a smoothie from the pool bar. I myself had a mudslide as it was almost noon. The problem was that the girls thought it was chocolate ice-cream and wanted to try it.
After Rose's nap we went to the kiddie pool for a really long time before dinner. Paige worked on her swimming as much as she could in 1 foot of water.
This bathing suit of Rose's is so cute, but the strap is so close to falling off. If this was a hotel with a sewing kit there would have been many times to use it...so many things are ripping and falling apart for some reason on this trip.
As I write this it is the morning of our last day here! So sad. I am going to miss the daily swims, and trips to the playground, and generally being outside in the warm and sun. We have settled right in here and all of our stuff is tucked away into closets and drawers and it feels very permanent. Time to unearth it all and pack it up. Today we're going to the pool one last time in the morning, Rose will nap after lunch while I pack up, and then we'll go to Disney in the evening. Of course there are people and things from home that I miss, but I really want the winter to fly by and the spring to begin.
