Puerto Rico 08

We just got back from Puerto Rico. We stayed at the Wyndam Rio Mar Ocean Villas, and had a ball. The weather was perfect, and Noah just loved everything.

Some of the most fun things he did:
  • Flying on Jeremy Jet Plane to Puerto Rico.
  • Swimming in the ocean, getting splashed by the waves, and rolling around in the sand.
  • Jumping into the pool.
  • I push button (elevator). He loved going up and down any elevator!
  • Riding on Billy Bus. This we decided was Bertie Bus' cousin (a friend of Thomas the Tank Engine). Billy drove around the resort taking you back and forth to the hotel, golf course, etc..
  • Taking Toby Tram up to El Moro. But Toby deserted us and never came back!
  • Riding Tiny Toby from the parking lot at El Conquestidor to the hotel. (Tiny toby was a 4 row golf cart. We sat in the very back and held on tight (very very tight!)
  • Riding the funicular up and down at El Conqustidor.
The first day we got there, we put Noah down on the sand, and "whoosh......", off he ran, right to the water!He just loved the ocean. Not sure if he was going in or coming out, but he was fearless!We dug alot of holes in the sand, and made lots of castles and tunnels. They were great to splash in, and jump in. Noah loved jumping in and landing on his tush to make a splash! Here he is, just waiting for the next wave to come splash him in the face--we weren't so sure he would like that, but it made him laugh everytime. Check out this short movie:









And here comes a big one! (check out his form, knees up, toes pointed...)
We also had time to go for lots of walks. It was a 5 or 10 min walk to the main hotel. Hey guys...wait for daddy!The main hotel was fun. There were lots of activities, a kiddie pool (Noah had little interest), and a big pool with a water slide (you'll see a fun movie soon!). But every day at 11 am it was time to feed (yes, feed) the iguanas! And of course Noah was right in the middle of it. David had to go close with Noah most of the time since Kathy had red toe nail polish on. And we were told the Iguanas think red toes are cherries, and come to eat them! So she was watching from a distance, and seemed to enjoy the entire experience. Picture this: there is a crowd of 12 or 15 people all feeding the Iguanas, and all of the sudden Kathy yells (yes, yells) at David across the lawn: "WHAT IS WRONG WITH YOU???!!!!!). You decide for yourself. How fun is this?
Then Noah got right down to this guys eye level and said, completely unprompted, "What's your name?" He is the friendliest little guy!
After the Iguanas were full, and Noah talked to several of them, we were back to the pool. Noah has become a little fish, and loved playing in the pool with his Mom. "1, 2, 3, Jump..."!
And this was all in the first 2 days! We'll post more fun from Puerto Rico soon. Keep checking on us!
