Saturday was a full day for all of us. Nana and I took the older boys and Samantha to the King's Point Monaco pool for 2+ hours. Samantha LOVED it so much, and wouldn't come out for a LONG time. I had asked my mom if there was a lifeguard there since I didn't see one. The boys heard me and took that as an opportunity to fill the void, rotating being "lifeguard" to Samantha. It was THE SWEETEST THING EVER! She was lovin' every minute of it! She held very tight to her orange noodle though. After the pool escapades, we came back for lunch to the condo, then Jon did some shopping while Nana and Papa took the boys to an Arcade-type place called Boomer's (they said it's basically a larger version of the Charlie Horse). The boys amassed 150 tickets that they were excited to turn in for "prizes" (you know the ones, those little parachute guys and mini-rocket launchers, that we end up paying $25 for!!!) I am told that Benjamin was VERY good at spraying people on the Bumper boats... That night Jonathan and I actually got a chance to escape from the madness... We went on a "date" to a nice little Thai restaurant called Bangkok Express, then to Staples and Books A Million to shop, then to the King's Arcade (one of many slot machine gambling places around here where they still obey the law by awarding Gift cards instead of cash). I ended up playing for 3 hours there! Time sure flew when I was entranced by the clang of the Dancing Dino on my machine. Jon actually went to the condo to ask Nana if she wanted to come play with me, which of course she did. So, it was way too late to bed last night...
Sunday was another full day for all. All 8 of us went to the Clubhouse for some water play in the pool. The temperature has been balmy, at +/-78 degrees. The kids don't actually care how cold it is; they will stop at nothing to go swimming. The baby LOVED swimming in the pool with Nana, despite getting some mouthfuls of chlorinated water. He giggled and smiled a great deal. The boys and Samantha were in there with Jonathan for more than 2 hours; they came out prune-fingered! After the pool, we ate lunch and pretty much did the same routine, with Nana taking the boys herself to Boomer's. We had a dinner date at 5 o'clock with Jon's 92 year old Great Zaide in Lauderdale Lakes. He brought us to a lovely restaurant called Cheddar's where we each ordered what we liked, the variety was so great. Benjamin said, "Great service, great food...", so it passed muster with our 9 year old, in case you are in the area looking for a good restaurant. Now, we are getting ready to pack up and move on from Delray to our next destination, Savannah, GA. Until then... Adios!
