Spring Break Part 2!!

Zane did AMAZING on the deal he got us for the timeshare we stayed in on our vacation!  I wanted so badly to just stay and live there the rest of our lives!  The living room was a good size and the fully furnished kitchen made it convenient (and saved money) to bring some of our own groceries to make breakfast and lunch and not have to drive into town until dinner time:

 I was so worried about the kids sharing a room but they did great.  I had no clue that Ashlyn would sleep through Bryson waking in the night.  Even when he would turn on the light and come to our room, she stayed asleep.  And one night I was taking Bryson back to bed and Ashlyn stretched a little too much and she literally did a somersault off the side of the bed.  It didn't wake her at all (or maybe she was knocked unconscious...but either way she didn't get up).  Totally joking about the unconscious part grandparents!!  :)

Ashlyn tried to take over our bedroom:

 One of my favorite parts of our place...the tub!!  The kids loved it too!!

Of course, when we first arrived we put our things up and explored our room.  Zane took this fun picture out on our balcony:

The kids became big fans of the indoor pool and we enjoyed going there each afternoon after naptime and sometimes after dinner.  The inflatable toys were such a good idea because Ashlyn could swim alone and most of the pool was shallow enough for Bryson to jump in and walk by himself.  It's so different for Zane and I to have our hands free and just get to play with the kids:

One of Bryson's daily requests since the day we told them about our Spring Break trip was to go play mini golf.  One afternoon after naps we decided to take the kids out for some fun.  First we went by the recreation room at the timeshare to do a craft.  Bryson chose to paint wood letters that spell "BEACH" and Ashlyn chose to paint some stained glass window ornaments:

After finishing their crafts, we went to play mini golf!  The kids had so much fun until the very end when the last hole keeps your ball after you hit it in.  Ashlyn was in tears because it took away her ball.:

Look at this Mimi, Papi, and Papa Porter...Golfing on the ocean!  :)

We enjoyed a yummy dinner on the water at Sanitary Restaraunt where Zane got to eat some "real" fried fish. It was fun (but also a little scary) to be staying on an island and have to drive over the bridge to get into town to eat dinner:

One morning I couldn't find Ashlyn in our room.  I kept calling her name and she never came.  I finally went into the kids' room and saw this:

That sneaky little girl had found the Easter candy I packed as a surprise for the kids and was hiding under the bed eating it.  Crazy girl!

We spent the rest of our time eating at some more fun places, making smores in our hotel room, collecting seashells, swimming inside some more, cleaning up in the huge bathtub, playing in the arcade, and of course...playing in the ocean!!!  I hate to end this post.  I have TONS of pictures of the ocean and don't have time to sort them, but I promise I'll put them up tomorrow evening!!!  :)
