Atlantis

We decided to go to Atlantis today. The kids are on a mid-term break, last one for the year :) That place is just amazing! So we had the sand last weekend, so the sea this weekend :) It was so gorgeous there, and you get to use their private beach. Nice... We finally got Monkey to go down a waterslide. It didn't help that when we were about to go, the man in front of us, got scared and got off. So here we are, both chicken, thinking hmmmmm... But we did it! Of course hubby and midget were long gone down the slide. It's so neat though, you go through the shark tunnel! Very nice park, low-key rides, which are good for us chickens. A lot nicer i think than wild-wadi waterpark. But I am more of a lazy river floater, than a big slide person. I do have a complaint on water parks though. What are those of us who are blind as a bat supposed to do? I hate that, i can't see, can't bring my camera around.. I spend the day squinting and praying to not get separated from my family!
Do have a funny story though. We went to get ice-cream at the cart. There were these 4 or 5 emerati guys. They are so super-cool they think. Nice guys though. But one had on these tight running style pants, and a swim shirt. He was getting his money out of his butt. I"m sorry, there is no other way to put it. Right smack in the middle of his behind, not to the side, but in the middle was a zipper pouch where he had his money. Now to be fair, his friends were razzing him big time. But even hubby and i were chuckling, and his friends saw. So they were smiling at us. But oh dear, when monkey saw. You can't say butt, no bathroom humor or bodyparts to him, he's 11. So the guy pulling money out of his butt, it was too much... He was cracking up giggling, and said "mom, he's pooping money!" So the guys friend heard, and asked monkey what he said, and of course he told him. So they are laughing together at this poor guy! It was funny, i guess body part humor is internationally funny. I somehow recall my dad saying something about did i think he pooped money too. I wonder if he had those pants?
Atlantis as we are about to go into the tunnel to get on the island.
