Today was spent trying to convince the kids that a day spent in the water can be so much fun and that we dont have to spend money to have a good time!
The morning was spent at the pool and then after lunch we took the shuttle to the beach. Elinoa got her hair 'braided' (so much for not spending money! $2 a plait!) - fabulous hey?!

The kids had a great time looking for shells & even got in the mood for having some pictures taken....

In the evening, we took the kids to 'downtown' Aruba where there was a live band playing and some shops still open. The kids had a great time in the gift shop and then finished off the evening at Haagen Dazs (photos on Yoav's camera!)
Elinoa has got really in to reading now and is devouring books faster than I can buy them. We spent the rest of the evening by the pool playing games while Elinoa read Jaqueline Wilson....
