Papa had meetings all day, so it was just us girls. We were slow to get going in the AM...
and it took Kate some convincing that the world outside the window beat the porch hands-down.
We started the morning our right with room service. I would have liked to have gone to the restaurant, but it was tough with the 2 of them.
Alex after having her room service second-hand.
As we were seen around the resort. My main concern was keeping Alex cool and unburned. I found this great baby carrier cover with a UPF of 30. Infants under 6 months aren't supposed to wear sunscreen, so I had to be VERY careful. Nothing screams 'Bad Mother!' like a sunburned infant... it worked great and Alexandra left Costa Rica just as white as she entered it.It was 93-98 degrees F and sunny every day we were there. It was somewhat cooler at night.
We went to the 'kids' pool first. It was perfect in that the pool was shallow, there was an indoor/outdoor playground, and lots of food. We enjoyed it for about a half an hour when the onsite daycare unleashed the children. There were like 20 kids and 5 pool toys. Kate ran out of the pool and wasn't into watching these kids murder each other....
Alex took a small nap under an umbrella
She looks like she was born for this...
Kate a bit sad about having to give up her pool to the daycare.
But, after a minute on the beach, she was over it. My ladies of luxury
ahhhhhhh.
We saw papa after lunch. I ran out and went swimming while the girls napped and Papa did some work from the room. The ocean was wild! I was sucked in and spit out (which I normally LOVE), but it was even a bit much for me. I then understood why this place on a peninsula with 2 gorgeous beaches had so many pools...it just wasn't the greatest or safest swimming. I lost my bathing suit bottom at one point and was stung by a few mini jellyfish. I still couldn't keep away, though. On the last day as I floated peacefully in the absolutely tepid water, someone from our group summoned me from the shore, "there is a rather large black fish next to you!" I didn't look and swam as fast as I could to shore. Still the warmest, most exhilarating water I have ever been in.
We went swimming in the afternoon
We had dinner with Papa poolside. A wonderful day! We were the last ones to leave the pool and had to basically bribe Kate to get out even though it was dark and no one else was there. She is her mother's daughter!!
