The kids let us sleep in this morning. They love vacations, not because of where we are but what we let them do. On vacation, we let them have whatever cereal they want. So they chose their own cereal at the grocery store before we came here. Their choices were all wrong, but far be it from me to correct them in how to choose a sugary cereal.
They all immediately jumped in the pool after breakfast and stayed there all day. Bonnie made bacon and eggs for breakfast. We used the remaining bacon for BLT sandwiches for lunch. Occasionally we would walk on the beach. It was a very low key day. I even swam a small amount.
Our kids don’t know how to keep the sliding black door shut and we were visited by, oh… every single f$@#ing fly in the entire Yucatan peninsula. Bonnie was on a mission and killed every one of those flies with a fly swater. When she was done, she turned to look at me and it was as if she had a blood lust wash over her face and her eyes were so filled with rage, I couldn’t look directly in her eyes. It was like the time I made fun of Gone With The Wind (her favorite movie).
Something happened today after lunch that was just so amazing that I cannot not mention it here. Our third child was wrestling our second child and it was obvious after a while that they weren’t really wrestling as it was our third child trying to push the second child into the pool. Both of them know how to tread water child 2 swims far better, but child 3 can hold his own.
Well, child 3 was successful in throwing his older brother into the pool. This all happened in a matter of 5 seconds. Child 2 made his way out of the pool and Bonnie shoved child 3 into the pool. He was freaking out, legit terrified. Bonnie then calmly took her shoes off, and dove into the pool. Brought child 3 out, and told him to never, ever push anyone into a pool ever again. Child 3 was never in any danger, and I will never forget that. It’s a good lesson. And I’m glad he learned it now.
I made pan fried tilapia with roasted garlic and salt and pepper with some chili’s for fish tacos. Dinner was amazing, almost 50% of the kids loved it. 100% of them loved my brownies. After dinner we swam in the pool for a couple hours and then went to bed. *
