We had such a great time in Aruba last year, we decided why not do it again. As soon as we arrived, we jumped into our
bathing suits and were off to explore. You are probably thinking - why you didn't mention the plane ride down to Aruba. Well, I can honestly say the boys were fantastic and the trip was completely uneventful. This time the boys new exactly what to expect and were exceptional
throughout all the traveling. (Even during the long airport lines, we had to wait in at 6am in the morning.)
First stop, the beach...I never thought they were going to let us leave. They had so much fun running in and out of the waves. My favorite part is that they would both laugh
every time a wave would come and they would jump over it. I can still hear the laughter.
The nice thing about doing something twice is that you know exactly where to find the good restaurants and we immediately headed off to a good pizza place. We were starving. As always, the boys sat up and ate like champions. Thank you boys for always being so good at restaurants. I think this is one thing we always take for granted but when you look back on it and see other children out, you realize how lucky we really are.
They found these poles from last year immediately. The impressive part is how long they could hang on them. I lost count several times and Daddy would just tickle them to get them down from the pole.
Daddy was trying to count but as you can see Garrett could even hold on with the tips of his fingers.
Day Two: The boys were up and ready to go bright and early. We grabbed a quick bite to eat at Gilligan's and we were off to the beach. The boys didn't want to hear about anything else - beach, waves and sand castles were the topic of the morning. Here they are walking along the path to the beach...Nana and Grandpa had reserved some huts for us so they were trying to find the right numbers.
The whole family got working on the sand castles right away. Before we knew it, Connor had been the architect to an entire condominium.
Construction is hard work and he was very good at giving us instructions on what to do.
Finally completed, the boys were quite satisfied with their work of art.
Since we had so much time in the sun, we decided to adjourn to poolside and our cabana. However, try keeping two boys in the shade to rest for a few minutes...they had no time for that. Nana and Grandpa had brought some paint brushes so the boys were very busy painting the rocks which lined the pool. This was a great idea given to us by a couple last year. A paint brush, dry rocks and a pool full of water = hours of entertainment.
As you can see, I am still only on day two so I have broken this particular trip into three posts. Hope you don't mind...continue reading above.
