Beaches Turks and Caicos pictures (part 1)

Relaxing in a hammock at the Beaches resort...gonna try and post just a few pictures here that are different from the ones on Facebook but there are so many to choose from!  And i haven't even posted the ones the photographer took! 

 Uncle Jay doing the Limbo during one of the evening stage shows.  Every evening there was music, shows and entertainment.  Olivia especially loved to dance to the music. It was so great because we got to interact with the characters afterwards--lots of time with all the Sesame Street friends!

Surprise Tea Party with Elmo and Abby--just one of the many fun activities at Camp Sesame.  Sydney loved all the special time with the characters!

Our room--due to an ant problem, we got moved from the French Village to a Seaside Villa with a one bedroom suite--this worked out so perfectly for our family. There was a separate sleeping place for the girls, minibar (fully stocked), king size bed, 2 walk out porches and tons of space!

The kids club programming was top notch with lots of great age appropriate activities.  Every day Olivia was able to take a nap and the staff there was wonderful!




Sydney and Lindsay all dressed up and ready to go out to a nice dinner

The girls were so excited with their special surprise--Zoe came to our room to read the girls a bedtime story and tuck them into bed.  It was pretty special. Now if we could only figure out how to get Mickey and Minnie to do this....

Zoe and her friend read a story to us and then it was time for bedtime stretches and hugs & kisses.  Such a special treat!

Sydney loved all the flowers all around the resort--the grounds were just beautiful and well kept.

The water was all different shades of blue and felt wonderful.  Wish we had more time to spend on the beach but there was always so many things to do.  The girls loved playing in the sand and we captured a few pictures 

Time to bake the cookies!  We all couldn't wait for this special activity and everyone had a lot of fun making cookies with Cookie Monster.  Olivia enjoyed eating all the chocolate chips!



Sydney was SO upset when she was told that Cookie Monster ate all the cookies that the kids had made.  She cried and cried--and we all just had to laugh cause it was so adorable that she reacted that way.  She took it personally and was very upset with Cookie Monster.  But he did bring out a fresh batch of cookies for all the kids to eat!

The girls just loved these giant chess games that they had throughout the resort.  

 Poppie and the girls

Family photo by the Caribbean Village... there were so many picture taking opportunities since the resort was just so picturesque...if only i could get the girls to both look at the camera at the same time and smile??!!
