The Trip to Rocky Point (3)

On the third day Daddies took their big kids for a fishing trip. Mommies and their little ones stayed at the Resort. Daddy and Rebecca set out at 9:15 am. Gabby spent the whole morning and afternoon with Mommy. They had a great time together.

They went to the beach first. They took buckets with them to pick up seashells, which was a favorite thing for Gabby to do. They picked up a lot of seashells once again. At the beach they saw some dogs taking walks with their owners. Gabby was excited to see those dogs. She liked to pat them. On the way back Gabby wanted Mommy to hold her.

Mommy and Gabby went to swim next. They slid down from the small water slide a couple of times, but didn't try the big one. In the deep water section, Gabby held Mommy's arms and swam cheerfully. On the way back to their room, Gabby curled in her towel. She was back to Mommy's little baby. Mommy held the little baby tightly in her arms.

After shower and lunch, Mommy and Gabby took a nap. Mommy woke up around 3:30 pm. Daddy and Rebecca had not come back yet. She began to worry and prayed for their safety. Daddy and Rebecca didn't come back until around 5:00 pm. They didn't eat any lunch on the boat and were very hungry. Daddy opened the cooler to let Mommy and Gabby see the fishes they caught.

Daddy told Mommy that they got together with other families first in the morning. They did not get on aboard until 10:00 am. A few people were boat sick, but Daddy and Rebecca were fine. There were not many fishes that day. They had to change the site a few times. Rebecca was not excited about fishing because she didn't catch any fish. Daddy caught a few and this made the fishing trip not so disappointing. They saw dolphins and sea lions on the ocean and this probably was more exciting than fishing. There are two other girls, Amy and Julia, on the boat to play with Rebecca. So she didn't feel very bored.

Upon hearing Daddy and Rebecca's talk, Gabby wanted Daddy to take her to catch fish and dolphin. She was sad because Daddy said he would take her later. To comfort Gabby, Mommy pretented she was a dolphin. She leaped to Gabby's side and opened her mouth. Gabby sticked her finger into Mommy's mouth. She caught a "dolphin"! They switched the parts. Gabby was a dolphin and Mommy caught it. This play made her feel better.

After lunner (lunch + dinner), Daddy, Mommy, Rebecca and Gabby took a walk at the beach. The sun had already set. In the west the twilight sketched out the edges of the mountains. Pointing to the mountains, Mommy explained to Rebecca how the Chinese word of mountain was created. It got darker and colder. They came back to their condo. Mommy gave Daddy a haircut while Rebecca and Gabby were watching Happy Goats.

At bedtime, Rebecca still felt the rocking of the boat. She was homesick like the day before. Gabby had a fever. Mommy gave her some Children's Mortrin. Rebecca and Gabby went fast asleep. Mommy wished Gabby would get better the next day.
