Swimming with the Dolphins!

A little stroll on the beach.  Sophie loved the water.

We look at these pictures over and over, and just can't get over how big Noah is.  He had a ball on the beach!

What...you don't like my sunglasses??

Half a Noah.

Look out for the big waves! (OK....no big waves here).

We had been waiting all week for a chance to go swimming with the Dolphins!  Kathy and Noah went to get ready, and David and Sophie hung out and had a little snack.

"What...this is all I get?"

And finally they were ready....

Here comes one.  "Mom...let go!"

Noah has a new friend.

So does Mommy.

We have a good picture of Noah kissing a dolphin  too, but didn't get it on our camera and can't put it on the blog. 

Noah and the Dolphins had a little water fight.  (David took this short video but was holding Sophie at the same time who just wanted to get down and get in the water with the Dolphins.  So it's not the best photography!)

And there they go.....short video.

How fun.  Great job Noah and Mom!

More fun from Atlantis

Our mornings started early, often with a Sesame Street video on the IPad.

Then a loud breakfast, and out to the pool.  Sophie loved splashing in the water!

After some time at the pool, we headed out to the beach.  Just take in these next few pictures.  The kids loved the beach.  Sophie wasn't so sure about the sand at first, but then loved getting wet and rolling all across the beach.

There was a lot of dancing on this trip.  There was music everywhere, and our little dancing girl loved the island music.  She entertained lots of people.  Here was one morning out by the pool

There was a really cool ride called the "River Rapids".  Not the "River Rapid".  Noah will correct you and say that would mean there is only 1 rapid, but there are many rapids.  You ride a tube and go through rapids and waves.  It was really fun. The final score: Noah 2, Waves 12.

While Mommy and Noah were on the River Rapids, David and Sleeping Beauty were out by the pool.  Only one of us got to nap though.  

Hi Dude!

Sophie Faces.....

Now this was cool.  Noah and Sophie were having a conversation with this very old and wise fish.  There were fish everywhere and both kids loved them.

Look out Noah!!  We called the kids "Appetizer" and "Turtle Food".

There were statues even in the aquarium.  These statues really look familiar...still can't quite place it...

We took a little break from the sun for one mean air hockey tournament.  Noah won...

So he got to play Mom.  I think Mom won this one.

Sophie liked the game room too.

At night we were back to "Marina Village".  Sophie got into the music.

And Noah hung out with the Jumbee Man.  He was a little hesitant at first but we think he was just on stilts.

Every night after dinner we ended up at the Candy Store "Oh Sugar".  Show us your sticky hands!

Smile. (Sophie is still so serious!)

Good night kids.  What a fun day!

More vacation fun

More fun from Atlantis.  Here is our little Queen!

She is always so serious.

But Sophie let us all share the seat

Atlantis was cool.  Lots of statues and sculptures.  Check out this statue next to the really big cup.  It looks very familiar to us...just can't place it.

Hmmm.  The close up looks even more familiar.  Lots of people stopped to look at this statue.

Check out this new ice cream flavor...

We had lots of fun at the water park.  This was the "kiddie pool"

Geronomo!!!!

Finally, someone is getting Noah back.  Sophie is putting her tushy on his pillow!

Noah was teaching Sophie how to play DS.  

Movie Stars to be....

Noah got right into the action playing drums with a very small steel band.  

Look at this little video of Noah and Sophie getting involved with the Steel Band.
