Vroom Vroom

One thing that many people ask me is "what do you kids play with in the hotel?". Well I have to admit its made me more creative! But you would be surprised how easy everyday items can be used to entertain a child. My go to item... painter's tape. This stuff is amazing for traveling. Here is one of the examples of how I use it... I make race tracks! I also took one of the thick paper bags with handles that is in the room and cut up to make a little parking garage, ramp and car wash. I used the handles of the bag for the sponges. I normally let London decorate the outer part with crayons/markers but he didn't want to today so we have a little more bland of a look.
Thanks to the help of the kleenex box for the ramp support and a couple cars/trains we bring with us you have a car table that entertains for hours!

pool time

I heard it was snowing back home and so I thought I would try to help you stay warm with some nice pool/beach photos from today.

Window art

Before leaving the states I stocked up on some craft stuff to do while here. One of those things was Crayola Window Markers. I was worried when I first started because it was very light and clear, but as it dried the colors came out better and were easier to see. And boy do they dry fast on a window that has 100 degree heat on the other side. I checked already and it does wash off easily! So here is mine and london's halloween window decorations (me left, london right).

Rolling, Rolling, Rolling...

Jordan decided to start rolling tonight. And she will roll from front to back on both her right and left side.  And once she even did a full front to back to front roll she had so much momentum. Watch out london here she comes!

Our place

We were in a huge (like 1,000 sq ft) suite that was over $500 a night so we moved to a cheaper location in the same Hilton hotel but I actually like it more. Well I miss the jetted tub but this tub is still nice. Here are some pics of the place...its HUGE still.

Our bedroom-
The Living area (there is a dining room table on the front left here and those big glass windows are sliding doors to the patio)-
London's room-

Our bathroom (there is a second one with shower only).
Our FULL kitchen... I have an oven!
There is also roof access that has a grill up there.

ewwww

One of my geocaching challenges (another little fun project for geocachers---learn the lingo people because I'm loving this new hobby!) was to take a picture of the local species. Well here is a nice little group I found under a rock while geocaching yesterday by the towers....nice aren't they.
