The ultimate wave pool

So, we are headed on vacation tomorrow morning and the kids are very excited. We are heading to Puerto Rico. We were asked all sorts of questions but the first question that was asked (come to think of it, it's one of the first questions they always ask) was by Brityn:

"Dad do they have a wave pool there?"
"Yeah......, it's called the ocean Sweet Pea."
"Woohoo!"

All they need to be happy is a wave pool. They talk about the wave pool by Grandmas, and the one at seven peaks all the time. As long as the destination includes a wave pool they are thrilled.

Oops

I meant to post the previous post on my blog. So it is on both, sorry.

Is it working now?......Good now stay there!

So, I am pretty frustrated with my computer at home. Well it's not really our computer, its the internet. We share internet with our next door neighbors and we pay them 20 bucks a month for it. Sometimes when it isn't working so well he won't let us pay him (which is SOOO nice of him). So for the past 3 months we haven't had to pay him! Let me give you an experience Scott and I go through when we try to get on and navigate the internet.
Last night we wanted to order some pizza for dinner from Papa Murphy's. We didn't know what kind of pizza they had and didn't want to sit on the phone while they rattled them off to us. So we just thought, we will look on the internet for a good kind of pizza and also print off a $2 off coupon. It is about 8:30 (because we have night classes and don't eat til late) and Papa Murphy's closes at 9. We try to get on the internet and what d'ya know, the internet isn't working. Now there are certain spots in the room that if you stand there, the signal is better (I don't know how and why we figured this out). This time the signal was really good if I stood on top of a chair right to the side of the computer with my arms waving in the air. So while I stood on top of the chair, Scott searched for a pizza that sounded good. My arms were getting tired so I put them down........and the internet stopped working. GOSH DANG IT!! The $2 dollar coupon page "failed to open" and it was getting closer to 9:00. So I raised my hands back in the air while Scott opened the $2 off coupon page. I asked him how it was working and he said, "Good, now stay there" (Here I am standing on top of a chair with my arms waving in the air.) The page opened up and we hurried and printed it off. We called it in and ran down the road a little way to get it just in time to see them wiping up the counters and cleaning everything up. Phew!
The pizza was good and I think we are going to get our own internet so we don't have to play a guessing game and look ridiculous dancing around the room trying to find a good signal.

At home


Bronx was able to come home on Saturday! He is doing really well. They have to keep him on oxygen to help his little lungs develop. But everyone is so happy to have him home and doing well!
