Afterwards, we strolled along the lakeside path around the hotel grounds. We got to see Pumbaa and Timon up close and personal:
On previous days, we had seen them only through the window of our hotel halls. Or, if you're Madeleine, you didn't actually see them.
ME: Girls, look out the window!
MADELEINE: What? The palm tree??
We spent a few hours this afternoon at the hotel pool:
After our swimming adventures, we had some down time back in our hotel room before heading back to the pool area for dinner. While we sat eating, Madeleine opined on a wonderful day.
MADELEINE: I wish every day could be like today.
ME: What do you mean? Because it was so relaxing?
MADELEINE: Yeah. Today was the most relaxing day of my LIFE.
Madeleine also took the time, during dinner, to inform her family of her favorite words.
MADELEINE: Julia is one of my favorite words! My favorite words are "Julia," "Yay," "Ethan," and "Courtney."
I wonder what "yay" did to rank up there with the names of Madeleine's beloved Rowe household members.
As bedtime draws near, the girls are busy putting on a fashion show for Ethan, which is exactly the right way to cap off a relaxing day. Good night from Florida!
Glad Madeleine was able to relax. Guess she needs that to regenerate! Sounds like a wonderful family time! So glad. XOXO
