Rest days...

Well this is why it's better to blog from the road.  I forget what happened when.  Essentially after the day at Disney we had a full day of rest, and another 3/4 day of rest before hitting up the Magic Kingdom.  Not sure which day these photos are from, not that it really matters.  Also thrown somewhere in this week was a trip to the outlet mall for myself, Grandma Val, and Paige.  Grandma Val and I spent a bit of money at Coach, and Paige got some candy and a shirt.  I also got the baby boy some clothes at the Carter's outlet. And one of these days the girls participated in a little cookie decorating activity by the pool.  Icing and sprinkles on peanut butter or chocolate chip cookies.  They ate way way more cookie then I have ever let them eat in one sitting. 

So here are photos from one of the chilled out days at the hotel. 

The girls, including Grandma Val with her new visor I picked up at the grocery store.

Mallard ducks liked to swim in the pool

Although we had our own kitchen in our room we found it really hard to get motivated to make meals even on our lazy days.  Of course for breakfast and lunch it was perfect, but we were always too tired in the night to think about the grocery store or what to eat.  Simple meals ensued...out of necessity too, really, as we didn't have spices, and wouldn't want to invest in tons of ingredients that may be thrown out. I think we were just tired from the sun and exercise in the pool.  Not to mention it is hard to get moving after being lazy.
