Day One - Lori

5:01pm

I can't possibly do Day One justice because I don't have the time and energy right now (well, I guess I do have the time :) to explain what happens to three adult women with NO sleep, 4 kids, 15 hours stuck in a car, and liquid courage... Let's just say, it's not pretty! I'm not really sure I could even remember those 7.5 hours either. I know we unloaded, put stuff away, put suits & sunscreen on and headed to the beautiful pool. The kids had a blast, Cathy and I ventured down the water slide after the kids had a go, and we had beverages poolside. We met a lot of people at the pool that we were a little scared to face in the light of today. We were feeling NO PAIN, we were extremely grateful for our blessings and absolutely LOVE our accommodations.

It's now day two, we slept about 12 hours last night (the kids probably slept between 13-15 hours) and we have had a perfect 2nd day! It's warm, sunny and wonderful!!!!!!

We just came up from the pool and the kids are sun burnt. Ellie and Keefer are the worst even though we slathered them in sun screen several times.

The Slater's are heading to the public beach 2 miles away but the Spang's and MeMaw are staying here. Ellie is exhausted and the kids need a break from the sun and I'm going to tackle the beach another day. We're going to play a game called "Quelf". The Slater's say it is a great game for all ages.. I have a feeling it will earn a blog of it's own. Sounds like a funny one...

We miss the Dad's! We love you all and wish you were all here with us!
Out...
