The time finally came for us to go on our much needed vacation. We are so lucky that we were able to get away with Gigi, Unlce Ryan and Mommy & Daddy. We went to the coolest place on earth….really, I am not kidding! We went to the Atlantis Resort on Paradise Island in the Bahamas and it had everything a little kid could want. Thanks to Gigi and Papa who treated us to this vacation as our family Christmas gift!
Here we are at the Toronto International Aiport waiting for our plane, it was a really big plane.
When we got to the Bahamas the weather was very nice and warm, it was like this every single day! Our first day was spent checking out a whole bunch of the aquariums and lagoons at the resort and of course floating in the lazy river and playing in the kids pool!
Our resort was across from this really nice Marina Village with lots of little shops and restaurants. In the evenings we would head over there for some ice cream and to participate in the singing and dancing shows they put on just for us kids. It was lots of fun!
Our resort had tons of waterslides and there were 11 pools, I think we tried out almost every one. My favorite was the kiddie waterpark. They had 3 waterslides I could go on all by myself, I played there for hours every day, it was the best!
Check out this video of my going down the waterslide!
Not only did our resort have aquariums, lagoons and a huge waterpark, it was also on the ocean and had a really nice sand beach. We spent one morning at the beach and we swam in the ocean and made sand castles! I really enjoyed making sand castles with Daddy, he makes cool castles. Now Paige loved the ocean waves and she enjoyed relaxing with Gigi by the water.
We went into the town of Nassau a few times to do some shopping, have dinner and go to this really neat Pirates Museum. The Museum was lots of fun, one of my favorite things that we did on our vacation. It was based on the Pirate Blackbeard!
Check out my angry pirate face in the picture below…not bad!
One night we had dinner at a family style BBQ restaurant that made us feel a little bit like we were back in Tennessee! The BBQ food was fantastic and there was so much food…all of us couldn’t come close to finishing it all!
One of our last nights at the resort Daddy got out his good camera and we walked around taking night shots. He did a great job and got some really nice pics!!!
Guess what I got to do…I got to feed sea turtles and stingrays, I even touched a sting ray. To top it all off I also got to see a whole bunch of dolphins, they were doing tricks and jumping out of the water. I love dolphins!!! Silly Paige tried to feed the sea turtles her sippy cup…
We had a wonderful time on our trip, there are so many pics this is just a few of them! I am hoping we will get a chance to go back to this resort again!!!
When we got back from the Bahama’s the weather was not very nice, it was kind of cold and just a few days after getting home we woke up to a whole bunch of white stuff…for those of you that don’t know what I am talking about, it is called snow! Apparently here in Ottawa we are going to get lots of snow this winter. I was so excited I couldn’t wait to get outside and play. Lita got Paige and I all bundled up and out we went!
Well, I am a little tired, it has been a busy day. We decorated the inside and the outside of our house today for Christmas, then I had skating, then we went out for a nice dinner with Auntie Carrie and Uncle Brodie and the evening was topped off with the Santa Clause Parade of lights, now it is time for bed!
Love y’all,
Emmie and Paige
Wow, looks like an awesome vacation. Love you all! Granny & Pop-Pop
