Aunt Bri taught Dylan to play "hoop!" with his floatie while they were in the pool. They tried to toss the ball into the floatie. Now he says "Hoop!" all the time when he plays with his basketball hoop in the living room. He also learned the word "pool" while we were on vacation, which comes in handy for him - he loves the water. In fact, when we were taking these pictures in the hotel room, "pool?" is what Dylan kept asking us... He didn't want to just hang out and relax for a little while, he wanted to go back to the pool.

Poolside Nap

Pirate Show

It happened to be National Children's Day, apparently an official Mexican holiday, while we were there. To celebrate, the Kid's Club at the hotel put on a really fun pirate show for the kids. There were good pirates, and there were bad pirates who were trying to steal a map from the good pirates. Fortunately, the good pirates had enough balloon swords for all their new kiddie recruits, so they were able to defeat the bad pirates. Then the good pirates and all the kids were able to follow the map to find the buried treasure! THEN, they took the buried treasure (a big container of candy) back to the Kid's Club to put it in a pinata, so they all got to hit the pinata and have some candy.

Here are the good pirates, with the kids watching at the beginning of the show.

The stage was right next to the pool, so we had great seats!

And here are the bad pirates.

Lily absolutely LOVED the pirate show! Since we've come home, she has used her picnic table in the backyard as a stage to put on her own pirate show several times. She remembers the whole show and reenacts it in her own words - it is SO cute!
