Energizer Bunny Olivia

We spent the afternoon at The Waie Inn, which is about 20 minutes from Dale & Lauren's. It's a fantastic place. It has a pool, squash courts, bar with snooker and pool tables, skittles games (like a minature wooden bowling lane with a mattress at the end to stop the ball and pins - kinda funny!), a huge kids play area like at McDonalds, and a few outdoor activities (it was raining so we didn't check those out).

We had a great time. The boys played squash while Lauren and Olivia swam and since I didn't have a bathing suit (or swimming costume as it's called here - hehe) I went back and forth between the two. The boys went for a swin after their game and Olivia had a great time playing in the water with her Mom, Dad and Uncle. Afterwards it was time for the kids play area which surprisingly took a long time to tire Olivia out. We had a blast. Yes, we. Lauren, Dale, and I were all in the middle of the play areas, up and down the slides, and in the ball pit (whatever you call the rooms kids play in that are filled with plastic balls and you get lost in them). It was good times. To finish off the day, Keith and Dale enjoyed a beer over a game of Snooker.

The evening involved more great food and relaxation. As much as I tried to convince Lauren it was the perfect time to go into labour (since we're all together) it didn't happen. Her due date is this Friday and she's still carrying high, so I guess we'll see how long it takes the newest Esliger to enter the world. Hopefully, he/she won't be as relaxed as his/her uncle and decide there's no rush. Lauren still looks great and has gotten a bit bigger since the last time we saw her the end of last month. She says she's still feeling great. Hopefully whenever we decide we're ready to have babies, I'll have great pregnancies like her.
