so we are learning that vacation with kids is a very different phenomenon. we pretty much expected this though so we're o.k. about it. today we got up early (it's harder to ignore the girls in the morning when they're in the same room) and tag teamed staying back at the house to watch the girls. we ventured into the pool yesterday which was the girls first time in a pool. they were uncertain at first but then splashed their little hearts out. there are 4 of their cousins here as well which makes for a pretty fun and crazy house-full.
