Beach Bums!

 I think we have officially passed up the number of days we have ever vacationed for....we are officially beach bums! Since this place is all-inclusive...today we took FULL advantage.

 we went out in the paddle boat

 Fearless Jesse has suddenly decided that he gets more attention if he is scared...

 Annie however is enjoying the praise she gets for being brave! Love the view of our hotel from this picture. The staff all live on site too. They have their own floor. What a life. Ezgi...my little Turkish friend...says it's a lonely life surrounded by people!

 pretending to be brave...but huddled close to Momma

 Finally a smile from Jesse...there must have been a bribe involved.

 the highlight of the day for the kids was playing with some Indian-Kenyan-English-Swiss-American friends....these new friends have been all over, but now live in Atlanta! Annie is loving all the girl time!

 the girls coming down the slide together

 and spilling out...

 cuties

 skidding across the water....this slide is so fun

 sometimes I am not the one taking the pictures...

 a little peer pressure and this girl will do anything!

 I love her face in this picture...

 we finished off the day by playing in the inside pool....Toby was hangin' with the big boys

 doing flips off the side

 Jesse style on the sidelines...

After the pool, we did the sauna, cold room, steam room and Turkish bath. 

 Had dinner tonight at the Italian place.

 Annie and I lookin' cute!

 I asked Tim if I looked okay in the previous pictures and Annie turned around and said, "you look great...be quiet already and take the picture!" Thank you Annie!

 Annie took some pictures of us and even posed us and wanted all the credit for being the photographer...if you can't tell from the upward angle of the camera.

 this one took her a long time and she said it was her favorite and made me promise to put it in the blog

 I love taking pictures of her! I have to capture these moments in time...they are slipping away too quickly. She is growing up so fast. I love watching her though. This morning she woke up and said, "I can't wait to have my time with Jesus. He woke me up and told me to say that!"
