This was our view from breakfast every morning. Is this not incredible??? Not to sound cliche, but it took my breath away every morning when we turned the corner.
See these ladies?? These ladies had a VERY fun day.... the kids went back to kids club to get a break from the sun and we had a blast being together without anyone needing us for a few hours! It was amazing!
While I was busy having my BIG day, Eddie took a kite surfing lesson and loved it! I am so glad he got to try it out. He might become hooked...ha!
After picking up the kids, we swam for a bit more and then headed to the rooms to get ready for dinner.
This kid sat next to me and was all smiles and cuddles. Cal sat on the other end of the table next to Beckett.
After dinner we took turns taking pictures with the kids-- I so wish we had done a family one together! Whoops! I adore this one of the boys! Look at those smiles!!!
Pretty sure I said "uncross your arms!" right before I took this-- they think they are funny. They are, kinda.
Our last day started once again with breakfast... Loved my breakfast dates each morning!
After breakfast, they asked to have their picture taken on these steps where we attempted pictures the night before, but they didn't not turn out. Andy was doing gangham style dance moves while Cal was doing some other kind of move....
During rest time on the beach, Cal and Beckett discovered it worked so much better if they SHARED a chair-- it was easier to see what the other was playing.
Then, we decided, since we were all about making memories for our kids, to let them do this little "couch" tubing thing behind the boat. All 4 did it with zero tears and several times we got the thumbs up to go faster! This was as we were starting....
And this was during the ride-- all 4 had on goggles and it was hilarious watching them. Our faces hurt at the end of the ride from smiling so much.
We had our farewell dinner out on the beach and as we were walking out, Andy goes, "I just really hope there's music there tonight because I want to dance again..." ha! There was music, but it was a band playing slower music. No dancing for him, but he was still okay with it.
They had a balloon maker there who specialized in sword making... seriously, I think that was all she could do... so these guys had their swords ready to fight!
We had a VERY early flight out of Aruba and it takes 3 hours to get checked in at that airport (sadly, not an exaggeration!) so we were up early.
Once we got to Miami, we went in a bathroom that was under construction. This stall had two potties facing each other-- the boys thought this was the funniest thing ever. Sorry to post this... it cracked all of us up!
I posted a video on insta of the boys running wild in the airport. They were definitely those kids that you see and mumble under your breath "please don't let them be on my flight...." But, by the time they got on the flight, they were worn out and before we ever took off, Andy was doing this... and he was still doing this when we landed.....
It felt SO good to be home and see our furry boys! I missed those guys! The laundry scene is CRAZY. I know it always is after a trip... it can be daunting! We had a dog sitter stay at our house and sleep in our guest bed and Eddie's dad is coming Sunday so I had to change those sheets plus Cal wet his bed ("only a little bit though!") last night so add that in to the laundry mix.... nonstop, I tell ya!
Despite the laundry, it was such a great trip. Our kids are getting to a really fun age to take places. It's easier for me to say this because Andy was SO good this trip. We laughed a lot together and that is something I think is so important as a family to do.
The real world is calling and I have some serious catching up to do!
We have a big week with Easter and Eddie's birthday and back to school and on and on and on....!
