Cabo (Sept 29-Oct 6, 2011) Part 2

 The next morning, we chilled at the pool again (this time the Shark Pool) and played for a bit at our resort again.  The kids loved swimming each day in the pool.  Sadie was a fish in the water.  My kids were a bit hesitant (especially Boston) but by the end of the week, he was begging Nick to go to the pool.  He never warmed up to the waves in the ocean or the sand (doesn't like getting dirty) but he loved the pool.  Easton loved the ocean/sand and Boston loved the pool.  We even ordered from the swim-up bar some sushi rolls this day (yummy) and the kids had chicken nuggets and fries.  We relaxed, read some books, and Boston and Sadie even got to join Kids Club Cascadas a few times during the week where they went in and made fun activities or watched movies.  They had a great time and it was fun for them to get out of the hot sun for a couple hours at a time.  The girls even did water aerobics a couple times during the week as well.

This night we decided to go into town and eat on the Pier.  Last time we ate at Garcias and this time we chose to eat at Ole Ole.  Nick and I shared some surf and turf and the kids got some macaroni to share ... YUMMY food.  Kids were a little restless this night.  As we first walked into the shopping area, Papa bought all of the kids some turtle whistles (they were in heaven) and some gum that the little kids sell along the streets.  We had dinner and then walked around the town and shops.

This golden statute was a pirate and Boston loved watching it.  He stood so still that we all thought it was a statute until you put some money into his bucket.  Then he did a little dance.  He has Boston's Batman in his belt and let Boston hold his golden gun for him.  He was in heaven.  He was hoping he would still be there after dinner but unfortunately I guess statutes sleep at night as well.

The next day we played tennis (we had the court reserved each day sometimes a slot in the morning and/or night).  We played some tennis, played in the waves this day, rented some jet skis, and then in the evening we went over to Lovers Beach and played there.   There was plenty of shade on that beach in the afternoon for the kids.  A few of them rented kayaks and kayaked over to Lovers and back.  We took the kids on the Glass Bottom Boat (and saw the fish underneath the boat swimming).  Our guide took us on a tour so the kids could see Pelican Rock, the Sea Lion Colony, the Arch, the Pacific side of the ocean and then to our beach.  They left us there for a few hours and then came back for us.  What a fun day.

The next day, the guys all rented a Hobie Cat to go out on the ocean on (the wind didn't cooperate too well though and they ended up having to paddle back).  The girls stayed back and the kids went to Kids Club and we painted ceramic stuff on the beach, went jewelry shopping on the beach, and laid at the pool.  Rylee painted a bowl with some hot chili peppers on it and Whitney and I painted some maracas for the kids to play with.  Whit and I bought some capes for the kids on the beach too that they have loved.  Sadie got a princess one. I got Boston a batman one and Easton a Spiderman one - they love running around the house with these on.  For our last night, we all broke up and went to separate restaurants along the beach.  Nick and I went with Kathy and the boys to the first restaurant down from our beach (what sold me was the kiddie table and slide they had for us).  The boys played and played on the slide and ate on their own little table while we ate.  We had some chips/salsa and tacos al pastor once again while we sat with our feet in the sand listening and watching the waves crash along the beach.  Then we sat on some benches and just listened to the waves and the music.  They had a guy playing a guitar the entire time during dinner and after while we watched the waves - so relaxing and fun!  He played some great songs!!

One night at dinner, the kids got some glow sticks that shoot into the air.  Whitney and I had taken the kids to the sand and were shooting the lights into the air and watching them land in the sand.  They had fun watching them parachute down.

Then our last morning in Cabo, the adults woke up early and went to the balcony and watched the sunrise.  Til next time Cabo ... adios!!
