 Today was our planned relax day. After running around all day yesterday, we all wanted to sleep in and swim and relax today. Good day for it. Matthew, Paul and I got up around 8 and lounged around. The other two woke 10/10:30 and all three hit the pool. Well Ben and I worked out (training for track...him, not me). Then they were all in the pool. They didn't get out but to scarf a late breakfast poolside and a late lunch poolside. Never even dried off. We all swam. Paul played Marco Polo with them. You have to wonder how irritating it is to live next door to a rental house with screaming kids who never get out and play unending games of Marco Polo which usually end with a shout, a smack, crying and someone stomping off. Just a year long rotation of guests who steal every ounce of piece and quiet. It is worse the older the kids are. At least, the younger ones nap and go to sleep early. My kids are in almost until sunrise. 

They swam till about 3 when some storms rolled in. Made for a nice afternoon piled on one of the king beds watching Blind Side. Mind you, we have the choice of 6 flat screen TVs in this house. We started Blind Side last night but two people (eh hem) fell asleep at the best part and we (Paul) made a pact to stop it if anyone fell asleep. It's understandable that our youngest fell asleep at 1130 after a long day. Guess who (Paul) fell asleep (Paul) after making the pact (Paul). He has what we call Cinemarcalepsy. He falls asleep during most movies. So we finished it today. The kids really liked it. I liked it the second time too. Such a good movie, though I get criticized for crying during "EVERY" movie. Shoot me for being sensitive. Ben had difficulty with the mom in the movie not being sensitive after he said at the suggestion of this movie, "Is it an emotional sensitive movie? I don't want to watch that kind."
Now it's not emotional enough. Moron. "Come on."

So, a great day of lounging around. We made hamburgers for dinner. They are dying to get back in the pool so that will probably be how we end the day/night. Tomorrow, another early start to Epcot. I think the kids will really like it. Ben is dying for some major thrill rides, though. He'll have to wait for Cedar Point.

See you at Epcot.

Blindside is one of my most favorite movies(could have a bit to do with Tim McGraw being in it)!! When Cody worked the Super Bowl in Nola Michael Oher played for the Ravens. Cody worked the suite level and got to meet Mrs. Touhey.
