Thursday was our last full day at the resort and it also happened to be the 4th of July! Grant and Luke got up early and played golf at the Hyatt Hill Country while the rest of us hung out at the condo. We took this time to take lots of pics of the kids in their matching 4th of July jammies. :) Us girls could resist buying them all matching outfits.

| Getting 5 kids (age 4 and under) to all look at the same time is not easy!! |
Luke and Grant got back around lunch time and we all got our swimsuits on and headed down to the main pool. For the Fourth, the resort had lots of special activities going on. Down by the pool, there was live music and food for lunch. We were really lucky in that we were able to snag a bunch of lounge chairs in the shade. The kids loved the pool, but I wouldn't say as much as the lazy river. It was a bit colder than the lazy river and they didn't have the sand to play in either. It was still nice though because it had a shallow entrance and the pool itself never got really deep. It was an indoor/outdoor pool and also had a splash pad too. There were water slides too, but Em was to small to ride them. She was really disappointed.
 |
| Gotta love the self portraits. |
 |
| Lane loved carrying around water in the buckets. :) |
After a busy 3 days already, the lack of sleep was starting to catch up to all the kids. After just a little bit of playing, 4 out of the 5 kids ended up taking naps outside by the pool.
 |
| Grace was the first to succumb to the nap. |
 |
| But Evan quickly followed. |
 |
| Em was the third one to give in. |
 |
| Lane tried really hard to hang on. . . |
 |
| but eventually gave in to the nap. |
 |
| And before long this is what our group looked like. |
 |
| But don't worry. . Leah rallied and never gave in to the nap. Grant kept her company in the pool |
Once Grace and Evan woke up, Steph, Court and I decided we needed a little girl time. So we headed down to float the lazy river for a little bit. The boys held up the fort back at the pool
 |
| This is what we saw when we got back to the pool |
 |
| I love this pic! If only I knew how to crop Shawn's hand out. |
 |
| Couldn't resist getting a group shot of all the kids in their 4th of July swimwear. Many thanks to Leah and Lane for letting us borrow their suits from last year! |
After spending all afternoon at the pool, we went back to the condo to change and get ready for the resorts 4th of July party. They served street tacos and smores and also had a dj.
 |
| We had to finish off the day with matching outfits. :) |
 |
| Leah and Em were the life of the party. They loved dancing to the music during the party. |
We made it about an hour or so before Em and Evan both started to melt down. The long week was finally catching up to them! We headed back to the condo and the rest of the group followed shortly after. All the kids got ready for bed and then we topped off the night with sitting on the balcony watching the fireworks from the Hyatt Hill Country Resort across the street. We couldn't have asked for a better view! It was a great way to end our trip!
We all woke up early on Friday and checked out of the resort. After saying our goodbye's we hit the road and made our way back home. Both kids were exhausted and quickly fell asleep. That is until Shawn got pulled over. :( That stop made both kids wake up and Evan was not happy about it. He started screaming! Luckily I think the cop felt sorry for us and let Shawn off with a warning. Trust me when I say having our 2 very tired kids wake up was much more punishment than a ticket would have been!
Since the kids woke up earlier than expected, we stopped and got some lunch at Chick-Fil-A and then headed back on the road. We hit more traffic than we had hoped on the way home, but overall it wasn't terrible. We were home around 5:00 and by then we were all exhausted! Vacations with kids aren't exactly relaxing. . haha. Luckily we had Saturday and Sunday to recuperate before going back to work / school!
