Brian had meetings most of the day today with the Fulbright and Embassy staff and other grantees, but the kids and I got to just play at the resort. We spent the morning at the kiddie pool where Aeden cycled round and round and round on the rainbow water slide and didn't feel the need to do anything else. Over and over he climbed the steps, slid down into a splash, climbed out, and started again. We took a break for a while and stopped at the bar for drinks to sip while we lounged on the pool deck chairs. Lacey and Maren looked like pros all stretched out on the chaise lounge sipping their Shirley Temples and chatting. Aeden was tired enough he plopped down next to me for a bit, too, and we did some people watching. More swimming, and then Brian was already out for lunch!
During the afternoon meetings Aeden and I took naps and the girls played in our rooms. But then Daddy was done with his meeting and he came and got the girls for some water slide fun before dinner and they had a great time. The raft water slide was literally right outside our door, so I could hear them sometimes laughing and screaming. But then they got too tired and Maren was delivered back to the room in tears from a bad bonk, then Lacey and Daddy came back a while later comparing their injuries. Just in time to rest a bit, shower, and head off to a group dinner with the Fulbrighters.

Thanks for the pictures!
Looks like quite an adventure, but what's with the pirate "lady"?
Love you all,
Mom / Grandma Teri
Pirate Lady is "adorning" the reception area at the resort. The staff all wore pirate-y uniforms, and the whole place was pirate-y. Too much so in some parts!
She looks like a "pirate built by committee!"
