Newport with the Stephens

We got to spend a week at the Newport Marriott with the Stephens family.  We had a good time - although it was tricky keeping two one year olds busy in tight limited toy quarters.  We had a night in downtown Disney, some games nights, lots of swimming, a few beach days, and an adult movie night while the kids slept.

Waiting for the crew outside.
 The kids loved the big tub!
 We did a few beach days - can't get enough of the sand and waves.
 Deven actually got to surf a few times - and enjoyed skim boarding with the nephews too.
 Breakfast at Cocos
 Killing some time out on the lawn looking for bunnies  - and playing on the lawn chairs.  The kids also liked running on the sidewalk and getting "dizzy" on the lawn.
 Kasen after church getting ready to go to the park.
 Peek-a-boo with "Baby" Alton.  Kasen has a case on his baby cousin!
 Big tub take 2
 Entertaining rolling furniture = a few minutes to sit for mom.  I was exhausted after this week - it is not easy being away from home with two busy bodies.  They required constant "entertainment" which meant I didn't' get to relax much!


 The fun little park - with TINY slides the kids loved.  We did go one day where Kasen got his first bloody owie - a scraped knee.  He even had to have his first band-aid.  The same outing I fell while holding him and gashed my elbow - and poor Kasen got a bonk on his head.  My elbow still is bruised and sore!


 Remy loved the little "beads" at this playground. Just like those bead tables they have at doctors' offices, but low and near a slide.
 Once I have exhausted all my toys, songs, games, and outside time - sometimes the iPad is called in to help.
