Coronado Vacation Day #5

For our last day of vacation, we all slept in really late and decided to spend our last day on the beach. The water was really warm, so needless to say, Mason spent nearly all of his time swimming. The twins spent all of their time in the sand, still refusing to go near the water. The lifeguards made lots of announcements about watching for sting rays because they were hanging out in the shallow water. Mason was not concerned, maybe because we just spent two days at Sea World with them. We did find out the next day that 35 people were stung by sting rays on the exact beach that we were on. After the beach, we headed to the hotel pool for a quick swim. That evening the hotel had a reptile guy come and show off his pets. The kids touched a lizard, a snake, and even let a tarantula crawl on their hands! They were a lot braver then me. We spent our last night at the Del Coronado enjoying the sunset and eating ice cream.

I was so proud of all of my boys. They were extremely well behaved at every restaurant we visited. Random people throughout the week continuously complimented our children and Marc and I for our parenting skills. Clearly these people were not at the hotel with us last year when our kids were sick and not on their best behaviors. The best advice we were given was even though this time is chaotic and not the easiest with three young children, we need to embrace and cherish it because it doesn't last forever and we will miss it when they are older. So true!!!! We couldn't have asked for a better vacation. We look forward to coming back again next year!
