Brent packed the baseball gloves so Brock could get in a little practice throwing while on vacation. Wednesday seemed like a great day for it as we woke up to lots of rain clouds in the distance.
I promised Brock a race - Wednesday was the last day to fulfill that! The water was cold - honestly, the ocean water was warmer than the pool! I thought breaststroke was the only stroke I could possibly get him... so we raced that!
After my defeat, Brent went off to the gym - not before warning me that a storm cloud was quickly approaching. I looked up not two minutes later and got the boys out of the water to change and we headed for cover.
What to do at an all-inclusive when it downpours? Head to the arcade!!
Unfortunately, this section was not "included" in the all-inclusive, so for $100 (the cheapest/best option) we got a 24 hour pass for all the games/bowling we wanted for all four of us. Brock loved all the virtual reality games.
A little friendly competition playing air hockey!
Back at it!!
Kade was literally falling asleep at the lunch table, so I thought maybe he might take a nap if Brock and I left. We made our way back to the beach for one more quick dip - had to stop and play some cornhole/bean bag toss.
Meanwhile, Brent was planning something special for Kade.... he just wasn't satisfied that Kade was *so close* to getting on the water slide... we may have coached him how to stand up VERY tall. With a little wink wink, Kade was allowed up on the water slides!!
We met Brent coming to get towels and followed him all the way back to the water park to join in the fun!
Last night there - let's make it special. Special hibachi tables open at 5:30 at the Himitsu restaurant, so we were there at 5:10 to wait for a table! I don't think the boys understood what kind of dinner we were having, but they were so interested in watching the chef cook!
Fried rice (the boys had white), chicken, beef and shrimp - yum yum!
The boys were not as excited about their fried ice cream as I thought they'd be....
After dinner, we headed back to the arcade to get in our family bowling game!
Kade was a little discouraged his ball kept going in the gutter. He was really trying to make the most of it.
Our leftie!
Not bad for our very first family bowling game. Kade (19), Brent (125), Vanessa (112), Brock (84). And I'll add that 112 was not bad at all for bowling in 2 1/2" heels!!
We may have walked over to the lobby bar for refills on drinks and left the boys playing in the arcade... not the best layout. This was the first time (before literally just walking through when we originally arrived) we went there during our entire stay.
The coveted Gatorade bottle.
Oh look at that - we're back in the lobby!
Departure day - after getting "randomly selected" for the extra checks through security, we finally made it through. We were showing Brock the cool items in Duty Free.
Three hour and forty minute minute flight to Charlotte, then two and a half hour drive back home. Finally arrived home at 9:30PM Thursday evening and we were pooped after so much travel. Moose was so excited to see us!
