The day started off at the crack of 530 again as the stress of preparing for my final exam has kicked in and the brain wants to get up early and get after it. After heading down to the pools to put our towels out and reserve chairs, I popped over to the Grand Bliss to check email for an hour and get caught up on the NHL playoffs. I read for a couple hours and narrowed down the main topics and ideas for my exam and started prepping. Time will start to fly now that the weekend is upon us.
After returning to the pool around noon, the family had had a good morning of swimming and breakfast. We all had lunch in the room and headed back to the pool for the afternoon. We headed over to the wave pools and had a blast for an hour while the waves whipped the kids around on the tubes and sent them flying off doing cartwheels along the walls edge. More relaxing and throwing the ball around til around 6pm when we showered up, changed and walked to the beach for the Fiesta. We were seated near the stage and the giant climbing pole. The 5 men climbed it, attached ropes to their bodies, and spun around 100 times before reaching the ground – quite the sight to see.
We headed to the buffet and loaded up several times on the many different foods to be had as well as a couple desserts. The girls bought necklaces with sharks teeth for the boys and they ate quickly heading out to the beach to play Frisbee and tag for an hour. The show began and had the usual suspects, hordes of dancers and singers as well as a guy with a rope and a horse/rider that paraded around the area while the matador sang a song. The boys found an 8 foot plastic pipe in the sand and used it as a pole vault as well as limbo stick and had more fun with that than watching the entertainment. We had 1 minute of fireworks and wrapped up around 1030 pm. We walked back to the hotel and showered the boys and off to bed for 11. Another busy day in paradise. Another one again tomorrow to be sure.
