MAS SISTAAfter waking up bright & early...
Atalie & I enjoyed some
bonding time in the hotel.
Atalie and CJ got in some snuggles
& the girls did some coloring
& bickering over who's stuff was who's!!!
& then commenced to more water time-
we only had about an hour til check-out,
so we tried to get in as much water fun as we could.
CJ especially loved the Hurricane Vortex ride
& other water slides. Of course, Ariana injured herself
by slipping & scraping her arm pool side,
so Atalie ended up taking CJ on the rides
while I nursed Ari back to pre-crying condition.
CJ, Ari, & I maximized our time there by swimming
right up to check-out time & skipping the showers!!
We had soooooo much FUN!
After checking out by 11am,
we headed to the Rainforest Cafe for lunch.
The kids really dug the reptile exhibits across from the cafeCJ pet a huge albino python that an employee had around their neck
(but they wouldn't let us take a picture of it!!)
While the girls each posed with a lizard.
It was unbelievably amazing to visit with Greg & Sue!
Alicia was hitting her fork and spoon on the table
as if to say "bring me my food!"-- too cute.
CJ & Ari got brain freeze with some "Slurpie Time!"
& Mike and Elie gave us a lettuce & ketchup filled pose!
Food Faces!
Aubrey was completly unaware!!-- sooo funny.
After lunch, we shopped a little &had more fun visiting together in the mall.
We gathered outside the entrance
for pictures & the girls took to rock hunting--
you know Ariana...
finds a rock every where we go!!
Shared some good laughs
Some sister time
CJ & Ari have now met their Great Uncle Greg
& Great Aunt Sue
& it was sooo wonderful to finally have
all 3 nieces with their aunt & uncle again!!
It was a fantastic visit that I only wish could have been longer--but certainly one that I will never forget!!
I love my Aunt & Uncle so much & could feel their love in return.
Until we meet up again... mua! I love you!!!
