I love the new pictures, you make a beautiful family and the boys are both getting so big. Sorry that you had to miss dinner, but I am sure a sleeping Dylan was a much better option, it does look like everyone had a great time though. Glad that Dylan got to enjoy the pool and playing in the sand for a bit, can't wait to hear about teh ziplining.

Adorable photos of Dylan in the pool, and very funny potty story! I can't believe that Dylan looks his age in the DR photos, but in the professional shots he looks about six!

I know! I think the same thing. Guess it must be the outfit, expression, and hands in the pocket (like someone else said) in the professional shots.

Nice update Kelly - sometimes just leaving with an upset kid is the best thing. Happy baby makes happy mommy.

Great update and pictures! It looks so nice down there!

Ziplining sounds fun! Looks like dinner at the Japanese restaurant was fun.

Great updates! Sorry you had to miss the hibachi restaurant, but I think you made the right decision. The pool looks great... too bad it was so cold! Can't wait to hear about ziplining!

How did I miss this update??? I'm so confused, but it doesn't take much. Anyway, sorry you missed out on dinner, but I know how that goes. The little ones pretty much run the show, but it seemed like it was all for the best. Looks like you had a wonderful day at the pool though.

My Dad & I woke up early, got dressed, and headed to breakfast since we were doing excursions today – him deep sea fishing & me zip lining. Dad took his motion sickness medicine and ate a hearty breakfast. Stay tuned to see how that worked out.

I didn’t eat much. I was nervous, but excited too, about jumping out of trees! My Aunt Barb and our family friend Jeanne were going zip lining with me and soon our truck arrived to pick us up. It was a truck like we had taken a few days ago for the safari tour. We drove back to where we had eaten lunch on the safari as that is where the zip lines were. We got out of the truck, got our gear on (harness, gloves & helmet) and then received instructions on what to do. One glove had extra padding as it was your brake and we were told to keep your elbow out, parallel to your head or you’d turn and could injure yourself on the zip line cable. You also had to keep your knees up. I was a little worried about the lower ab muscles (I did just have a c-section just over 2 months ago), but ended up being fine. After our demonstration on how to zip line we were told to follow the guide. I was first. Wait! What’s happening?! I have to go first?! Yep! I was the leader of our group. I didn’t have much time to think about being scared since everyone was waiting on me. So I stepped up, got hooked up and jumped. Wow! It’s amazing! What a rush! Overall I think there were 12 platforms and 10 lines of cables. One cable was named ‘Speedy Gonzales’ as you could reach 40mph. The longest cable was 250m (or 820 feet) long! It was high above the trees and went over a creek (they said river – it was a creek). This was also the last line we did and it was so amazing to see everything from up there. It was a bit scary too – as I got about half way I started to spin – it was really windy that high up. I was scared I was going to turn all the way around, but I straightened myself out and made it. The experience was awesome and I’m so glad I did it.
{We did not bring our cameras and glad we didn’t as the only way to really carry them was to hook them on to your helmet and none of us had cameras small enough for that. I did buy the picture they took of us so I’ll see if I can scan it to share.}

I took these pics from the internet to give you an idea of what it looked like:








While I was being a monkey jumping from trees, the boys were out in the open sea. Later in the afternoon once they were back we heard of the 8 of them only 2 didn’t get sick (one being my brother). So Dad’s motion sickness meds didn’t work, but said it was probably a good thing he did eat or well you know how it is when you’re sick and have an empty stomach. Apparently he & another guy spent almost the whole time on the boat at the rail. They did catch some fish though. Here are pics of their day at sea:



One of the guides helping a poor soul - he's pouring water over Joe's head and wearing my Dad's Cardinal hat.

Meanwhile, Mom had Dylan and they puttered around the resort – played with the pool table and in the fitness center. I think us girls were back by lunch. I think we were gone for only like 2.5 hours. We’d gotten done really fast and there weren’t too many on our tour. After some lunch we headed to the pool – what else was there to do after all?! J







Then it was naptime for Dylan followed by getting ready for dinner. Tonight most of us ate at the Sea & Sea open air restaurant for seafood. This was probably my least favorite meal – just wasn’t very good in my opinion. Everyone that had the lobster seemed to enjoy it though. I think Brandon ate like 3 or 4. My Mom was kind enough to take Dylan again for the night so I could enjoy myself some. Dad was supposed to come back to the room too, but he didn’t – needless to say he was in trouble. Tonight’s show was a Michael Jackson impersonation. Wow! It was awesome! The dance moves alone is what made it. Sorry, no pictures – I took video of it instead. After the show we headed back to bed because tomorrow was a big day!

Up next…WEDDING DAY!!!!

Another great update! Glad you enjoyed the zipline! The boys look like they got quite the catch! More please!

[lauriep]

I'm so impressed that you did the zipline! (never mind only two months post-c-section!) I'm sure it was an amazing feeling. I'd never have the nerve even to climb up to the launch area.

Great update! So cool you got to zipline, all though I would never do it.
