Days Three, Four, and now Five

I’ve been slacking off on the blog for a couple good reason.  The first is that we’re having too much fun!!  The other is that even with the Sprint card, connectivity is challenging here.

I’m going to try to upload a bunch of photos later tonight, and I’ll link them here.  Here’s a quick recap of what we’ve been doing:

Sunday we spent most of the day at the beach or in the pool.  Once again I’m learning the importance of sun screen the hard way.  Nothing serious yet, just a little red.  We capped the day off with a little night time mini golf.  Jenna got a legitimate hole-in-one!

Monday was Haley’s Eighth Birthday.  We can hardly believe how fast she’s growing up.  Since it was her special day, we let her pick everything we did.  This included swimming, of course, and an early dinner at the Crazy Crab.  We finished the day with a movie and popcorn in our room.

Today is day five, and it’s been a pretty slow day.  The one drawback to those dark curtains that hotels often use (and that are in our condo) is that you end up sleeping way too late.  But, it is vacation, after all, and we were up late last night so, I guess it’s okay.  After a quick breakfast (Jenna left her breakfast on the balcony, to the delight of Mr. Cardinal), we decided to check out the playground that is near our condo.  We walked over and played for a bit, and then came back to our room.  It very hot today.  Jenna was feeling pretty poorly from the heat, so she and I are taking it easy in the AC while Becky and Haley swim for a bit.  We thought about renting bikes today, but it’s way too hot for that today.  We’d ALL have heat exhaustion! 

We also had a chance to visit with some of the island natives!

Well, that’s all for now.  I’ll try to get as many pictures online tonight that my connection will allow.  Remember, you can find them all here.
