Let's go fly a Kite

 
 
We had a great week at Mombasa. I didn't get too many pics cause its a hassle taking our video camera onto the beach. And I didn't want to lose it at the hotel.

We drove up on Sunday, first two hours on the road was the pits, than smooth sailing. Ryan knows how to drive.
Monday was beautiful, we had sunny weather. 85-90 degrees, low tide was in the afternoon. I think I was on the beach for 6 or 7 hours with Caleb and Levi. Ryan went back and forth with Seth and Chloe to the house. Its still overwelming for anyone 2 feet or under to see all that water.
Tuesday was also beautiful, Seth's feet bothered him so he stayed at the house. But him and Chloe can just putz around for hours at the house. Caleb and Levi LOVE the beach, the water, the sea creatures, everything. It was Ryans day to be at the beach and I spent more time at the house. I came down with a terrible head cold.
Wednesday, we hung out at the house. The place has a fence all the way around it so the kids could run and not fear getting in the water. They played on the tire swing, road their bikes, helped daddy with the van, collected coconuts.
Thursday we loaded up the van and drove an hour north to Sun and Sand. We paid to be there for the day, all inclusive. It's a hotel with fun pools. We swam in 3 of the 5 pools. One started up on the hill and to get to the next pool you went down a slide, than another pool to float through like a river, than another slide, than waterfall steps than a big pool with a bar on one side. The pool had stools to sit on in the water and order cokes or juice from the bar. The kids thought that was cool, to sit in the pool and have cokes. Since it was all inclusive, we drank and at the whole day, 10 am to 6 pm. 3 of the kids slept the way back to our cottage.
Friday, the kids were so excited that we had one full day at the beach yet. We were out there the whole day. Seth and Chloe by now where used to the beach and playing in the sand.
Saturday we drove back to Nairobi. Before we loaded up the van, I had the kids pose in front of our cottage. They were quite brown even with lots of sun block on each day. Caleb and Levi are truly Kenyans wearing sweat pants, jeans and long sleeves any time they weren't living in their swim suits. We can't wait to go back.
