Bahamas

We are definately living up to our blog name crazy Tidwells, because we decided last minute that we needed to take a family vacation before baby boy #3 arrives so mom was on the hunt for something fun for the whole family. We wanted to take a cruise, but our hopes were soon crushed to find that you can not cruise after 24 weeks and at this point I was 29 so that was out. So back to the internet I went and we found a great deal to go to a resort in the Bahamas so 7 days later we were off.
After 3 flights, Lima-Panama, Panama-Florida, Florida-Bahamas we made it to paradise. At first sight I realized how much I miss living in the Carribean. The first day of the trip was awful, and I was praying that it was not a sign of how the week was going to unfold.
When we arrived at the resort I had packed all of our bathing suits in our carry on since I knew we would not be able to check in right away and we would want to hit the beach. Well to my surprise I pulled out everyone's suit to find that the bottom half of my suit never made it into my suitcase! Now where am I going to find a maternity store in a resort. So we were then on the hunt to try and find a bottom for my suit. While in one of the stores Zander tells me he has to go poopy, but before I get him out of the store he drops a load on the floor by the register. Chris and I are mortified, gotta love boardshorts, things just seem to fall right out if you know what I mean. Luckily the lady in the store was very cool about it and said not to worry about it, she has six kids herself. Still mortified I lean down to try and clean up the mess, while Chris is outside cleaning Zander with the 2 wipes that I have left. So all this in the first hour that we are supposed to be in paradise. Luckily after that we had the time of our lives for the rest of the week.

The boys were in paradise with all the 15 different pools that they had to choose from and the millions of kids to play with. They had one pool that had a giant playground with water slides and fountains that the boys spent most of their time on. Here is Brock going down one of the many slides. I have to say it was nice because chris and I coould sit and relax in a beach chair and the kids could just play with out the fear of someone drowning. We spent every moment we had in the water, and on the beach. i was in heaven.

Zander loved practicing his swim skills with his kickboard, or as he calls it his surf board. He is a great little swimmer.

The boys on one of the balconies of the resort. Gorgeous water, blue skies, and perfect weather.

The boys and I after dinner one night. I always feel so much better seeing that I don't look as gigantic at 30 weeks as I feel. My boys are so silly, always making faces. I have to say that the boys were on their best behavior the whole time, why can't they be this way at home?
