The hotel was very nice, and the pool was even nicer (there were actually several pools, but the one I'm referring to was shaped like a lagoon and surrounded by palm trees) However, the water in the pools was salty, which was a bit of an adjustment for everyone but Isabelle, who didn't seem to mind.
The girls had lots of fun on the beach (sand castles, paddle boats, playing in the waves and lots of tasty munchies), and mommy found her dream shoes (unfortunately, they cost 600+ euros, so daddy said no).
Other highlights included:
- Church in Spanish (Krissy took us to church in the branch in which she served while in Tenerife). The members were very nice, and Ally and I didn't have any trouble understanding 'church' Spanish.
- Good food and eating meals in places with ocean views.
- Shopping (although Ally was actually pretty reasonable and didn't break the bank; of course, she's still upset about the shoes...).
- Daddy went parasailing, which he's always wanted to do. He wasn't disappointed and can hardly wait for the girls to try it when they get older.
- Really, most of the time was spent relaxing / playing at the pool or beach.
Only picture we took of the entire family (we'll have to do better next time):
I thought these pictures were cute of Ally / Isabelle and Krissy / Maddie:
