Today the kids had tennis lessons. Anastasia did not enjoy the lesson. Nicholas enjoyed it though. But when asked whether he enjoyed Tennis more than Soccer (or Caribbean Football) he preferred soccer always. The instructor stated that Anastasia was good at hitting the ball but not skilled yet with serving the ball. Nicholas was a well rounded player. He stated that he did not get enough time playing though.

While the kids were entertained Tony and I went to the Spa to get a West Indian Massage (that is the signature massage of the resort). Since I was sad the previous day due to being a scuba reject I felt like I needed a pick me-up. The massage combines a full-body massage with island elements such as warm river stones, a sand exfoliation for your feet, and ending with a tropical rain forests mist. It was the best massage that we have ever received. It left us wanting another one.

After the massage we went to pick up the kids on the East Wing Lawn. They were playing in a Slime Relay (which is a soap sponge relay race). The pictures below show the race. The girls won the boys in the race. This made Anastasia very happy. Nicholas really did not care he had fun just getting soaked.

Tony loves to move around so much it drives me crazy (a bit on the ADD side). After we picked up the kids we went to the Italian Village Pool. Tony and I ate at Cricketer’s for a small snack. Cricketer’s is Irish cuisine; we ate there in honor of Natalie.
After Cricketer’s we went to the Riviera Pool in the French Village. The pool is heated and is so much bigger than the Italian Village Pool. We had fun again!
That evening we were scheduled to have our pictures taken at sunset on the beach. Here are some of the pictures of that night.
