Day #7 of Vacation

Basically, we've mastered the "not doing much" part of our vacation. The "working days" have not really happened... maybe hours more than days. Today was simply the same as the past. Spent at the pool. I have NO regrets, well except for the lack of sunscreen today. :)
This time we headed up a few exits to Cumming at our friend Noelle's neighborhood pool. And I'm telling you, if EVERY neighborhood had a pool like this one- that would be awesome! (notice my lack of something witty to say there...) There was a HUGE kiddie pool with the raining mushroom umbrella thing and slides and stairs and buckets of water... of course, Ben didn't want that pool. (It's like he's saying "I declare!" This is him and Little Aubrey) He wanted the big people pool and all 3 kids (Ben, Noelle's little one Spencer and Kaela's little one Aubrey) wanted to go down the... dun dun dun... WATER SLIDE! YES! I know! A water slide! At a neighborhood pool!!! It was A LOT of fun. We all must've gone down it a million times. We had a lot of fun... and now Ryan and I are paying for it because well- we didn't apply the sunscreen like we should have. Ben's good though- don't worry. He had his water shirt on and I applied sunscreen on him. Anyway- we had fun in the sun and water... we hope to go again soon! The company was great too. It's funny because either Ben could care less about the Kiddie pool stuff or it scares him or both- but he's not even scared of the things we think he should be scared of. He even went down the slide by himself! About 2 hours in, literally all at the same time, all 3 kids (who are all 2 years old) started to have little melt downs. It was lunch/nap time. I tried to get a picture of the three of them together, and well... one would cry- then the other and it was just a domino affect. So I gave up. Ben and Spencer had the same cute trunks... so just imagine a very cute tan MUCH taller 2 year old with the same swimming trunks as Ben. Ha! That's really it for today. We all rested after that... mostly because I'm a lobster. Ryan and Ben burned their feet a little... and you know how men are, Big Babies! We did our Thursday chat with Grandma and Grandpa. I sure miss them. A lot. I miss all of my family. :(
Tomorrow, we're off to the Zoo! Yay! Ben's already really excited. He can't wait to see the "monkey, elfant, panda bear..." etc. Then... even though we still have the weekend, our week of vacation comes to an end. *Sigh* *sad face*.... *crying face*.... Oh well. We have 4th of July weekend to look forward to AND the weekend after that Ben's gonna stay with Nana & Poppy and I've got a Wedding to do and we'll be gone for 2 nights! Our first like "Big Kid" trip away! EEK! I'm excited.
