Day 67: SWIMMING!!



Papa took us swimming today.  You'd think that we hadn't been swimming all summer long.  They absolutely loved it!  They played for hours and hours. Even L put his face in the water!

Funny moment was when X2 went down the slide and was floundering in the water at the end.  The lifeguard walked over and passed him the pole to help fish him out.  Once he was stable the life guard taught him how to handle the end of the slide.  "Just put your feet down,"  he told him.  It was so funny to see the look on his face when he realized he could touch the bottom!


After Papa and Joyce took us to Chuck-a-Rama for dinner.  Everyone was in heaven. These two had desert first.


X was thrilled for fried chicken and shrimp--not prawns! haha


And I was in heaven with my bottomless root beer!  In Oz the drinks aren't bottomless and they're TINY!  You get maybe as much as in a can and that's it.  They don't ever refill it!  And there's only root beer if you SEARCH for it.  I'm not a big soda drinker, but when you can't get it, it becomes a big deal!


Papa told the kids to get creative--this was the second place winner of that.  Dr. Pepper, ice cream, raspberries, cherry slushy with nuts on top.




When we left for home, everyone was full, and exhausted and happy and it was perfect!  Leave it to Papa to show us such a good time.  It was the perfect way to end our trip!  We dropped J and O at their new house around 12:30 in the morning and landed at our own place around 1:30 AM.  It's good to be home!
