PARADISE

A couple of weeks ago we took a trip to Atlantis in the Bahamas. It was the BEST! The only bad part of the trip were the flights we had 2 there and 2 back, 2 of the flights were 4 1/2 hours. I am certain I will never fly with a One Year Old again. I had been nervous for a month about the flight, and sure enough my worst fears were confirmed. It was just as bad as I imagined even with the help of Stephen and my mom. But we got through it and no one on the plane seemed to really mind ( course on the way back Stephen said Jerry Colangelo put his headphones on to drown out the noise) I just wish we could have enjoyed our first class seats a little more. 

Once we got there the fun began. We mostly stayed at the resort and went to the pools. One of the kids pools was awesome with a mini waterpark in it. Only Stephen went on the Awesome slides they have since Jackson was too small and I was too big. We did the beach one day but Hudson really didn't like that so we didn't go back. But the water was so perfectly clear and warm. One day we took a ferry into town to go shopping and get some yummy food, since the resorts food prices were Unbelievably expensive ( luckily we had a kitchen in our room to cook most all our meals). They had a version of the Alley's there and me and my mom got some goodies. Stephen and J went around the entire time trying to find a Huge Blowing Sea Shell. There were aquariums all over the resort, which was the boys favorite Hud would get so excited every time we saw the marine life. One day we went and fed the Sea Turtles and Sting Rays. I think Hud's fav. part of the trip though was riding back and forth on the bus as soon as he saw it he would run to it get on run to the back, where we had to sit every time ( in Jack's captains chair he called it) then plop in his seat until the ride was over and we stopped, then he would jump up and run to get off.  It was such a fun trip, next time we go back hopefully we will be able to do a lot more. 

Here is one of the rare times Huddy is being good - of course he is watching Elmo's World
The first day there Stephen forgot Sunscreen and this is what he looked like the second day. Poor Guy
J's fav. thing to do on the beach was finding sea shells 
As you can see Hud is not to sure about the sand

J & S with their sea shell, they couldn't be more proud

We celebrated my Mom's birthday and Mother's Day while we were up there, here is my mom at her B-day dinner. This guy sang Happy Birthday to her and he was so awesome.

Here are our $8 pints of Ice Cream, that Stephen had to have
Hudson loved all the marine life, here is him with the turtles
J & H found a hidden speaker with music coming out of it, so they started dancing of course
Here I am feeding the Sting Ray, it was so awesome
Hud got a little scared
J of course loved it and did it twice


On the last day all the boys got these $2 matching shirts from stand on the dock. By the end of the day they were ruined, both the boys spilt pepsi on them, Hud got Tomato Juice on his and so on and so forth. 

My hubby dealing with the locals, he always prides himself in getting the best deal.
