Big Pig 5: Days 10-11 - Chillin Out, Maxin, Relaxin' All Cool

We stayed at Chris's condo last night, and so didn't have to sweat through our sheets.  I was awakened by a tiny person begging to watch Daniel Tiger, so I complied, and having put it on the tv, made my way back to our place to await the air conditioning repair guy.  The actual repair took quite some time, but he managed to get 'er up and running again.  Erica, sadly, had to clock back in, so James and Juliet and I spent the morning with the cousins at the pool.    

After yesterday's diluvial afternoon, we deserved better weather today.  We did have a decent morning--the kids got back out to the pool after a rather long tantrum James threw at Erica because she had the temerity to ask him to leave Chris' to get his suit on back at our place.  But the heavens opened up again, an the afternoon was wiled away watching 72 Most Dangerous Animals in Latin America, or some similarly-named gross out show on Netflix where animals are "ranked" according to which are the most hazardous to humans ("But WILL this HORROR SHOW of a parasite displace our previous number 1, that seductive Latin American lover--the venomous TOADFISH?!  And WHAT WILL THAT MEAN for our former #2, the HARPY EAGLE?!!"  I'm not sure this makes a lot of sense.)

We agreed to meet Christopher and his fam for dinner at their favorite dockside fish place, Fishlips.  We have kind of an unspoken rivalry over which dockside fish restaurant is better.  As I've said before, we prefer the delightfully unpretentious Grills.  They unaccountably like Fishlips.  (They're basically the same.)  Anyway, the rain was still coming down in buckets.  Chris got some bad intel from their hostess about open outdoor tables in their covered section, but it turns out they were packed.  So we went instead to Gators, which is a lesser, but perfectly cromulent, facsimile of the above two places.  It rained and they were very understaffed, but we have a good view of the port and the kids traipsed around the deck while we waited and waited for the food.  By the time we got home, the kids were suuuuupper tired.

The next day we spent another leisurely morning at the complex pool.  I went to the grocery store, I guess.  In the evening, we hosted Chris' fam for another taco dinner.  After, the kids spent the evening hanging over at their place, while we had some proper adult time, just chatting it up.  

Sorry, this entry was pretty boring, but we're having a good time, save the bummy weather.
