To be perfectly honest I am not really a pool person. I can sunburn looking out the window and I hate it when the water isn't quite warm. This being said I really enjoyed the lazy river and pool at Cabana Bay. There were always plenty of towels and chairs and it was never too crowded. Sam is not a water guy either but that is because he cannot swim. I don't know what his issue is but the man cannot float at all. I've tried to teach him for years with no success. The kids however love the pool and can happily swim all day.
We got back to the hotel easily and quickly and changed into our swim suits.
B loves the sand so we gathered his bucket and shovel for some castle building fun. I brought my book down and read for a while watching B play and G and Sam played in the pool.
B wanted to try out his tube so I ran upstairs and got them. They pool attendants will air them up for you if you want to bring your own. We had room in our suitcase so I bought some from Target for 2$ before we left and planned on giving them away before we came home.
B and I don't like to be splashed so I was pleased to see that there were no areas of the lazy river where you had to go under waterfalls.
After I took a few pics I ran my phone upstairs to put away.
I spied my crew floating around and took a few pics.
They saw me too which made me realize that we needed to be careful with the curtains lol.
B decided to play it really safe by wearing a life jacket and his zebra tube.
After a nice swim we came back to the park to get ready to go back to the park. B's clothes were still a bit damp so he had fresh clothes.
G wanted to eat pasta and B agreed to we decided to hit Louie's for a quick easy dinner. The kids are always famished after they swim so we needed fast.
As we were heading inside the restaurant I realized that I had made a mistake. My glasses were back in the room. I was wearing my prescription sunglasses and it was going to get dark soon. I decided that we could eat first and I'd run get them as soon as I was done.
The line was short so we quickly had our food. B and G and I shared 2 orders of the chicken fettuccine. B won't eat any kind of chicken so he ate one breadstick and some pasta off of my plate and G took the other. The chicken was pretty good and so was the pasta. Not gourmet but definitely filling and warm. The kids ate both breadsticks so I guess they were good as well.
Sam is not a pasta guy but really likes pizza so he got a slice of pepperoni pizza. We still had some coke in our CBBR mugs so we ordered a few ice waters and were set.
Sam ate quickly and insisted on going back to get my glasses while we finished. He ran back to the bus stop while we finished eating. Even with the kids and I sharing 2 meals we had some pasta left over.
Sam ended up being gone forever! It was the one and only time the entire stay that bus service was slow and he said he waited for a long time both coming and going.
We had time while he was gone to watch the entire Pet Show.
The kids both really liked the show. This is a picture of the dog that starred in the Sandra Bullock movie The Proposal.
After the show it began to sprinkle so we power walked to E.T.
This was a bit of a circus because I only had sunglasses and could not see a thing in the dark que area. G thought it was hilarious. The wait was not too long at all and soon we were biking to another planet. B like the ride but was a little nervous in the forest area before the ride starts.
When we got out it was raining fairly hard so we hung out in the gift shop for a while and then darted across to the Spongebob store to wait for Sam.
Sam finally caught up and the rain had died down so we headed to DA to show G how beautiful it was at night.
