Thu 08 Oct 2026 - Resort Day - Day 14

Nice sunny day - last day at the resort before we check out tomorrow

9:30am breakfast

Kids sleep in

After breakfast we go do pedal karts. Janet stays back to clean up Unit 220.

11:00am Pedal Karts.  Do a figure 8 this time, but there are still some slight inclines which Ally finds hard to pedal up. Better going downhill, but they really need to fix the track - would hate to get a wheel caught in the ruts and tip over - was braking most of the way down. Probably would have been better to go on the grass.

After karts, laze by pool. Go for walk with JT - Soph, Justin and kids go for swim in indoor lap pool. We walk with them to check it out. Continue our walk around the resort following the kart route.

Clean the car.

Ally is pooped out, after a shower, she has a long nap. Zachy on the other hand is wide awake. Has mandarins and oranges. We made some fish fingers and har gow.

Play Plate Up with Justin before dinner.

Soph orders "Happy Hour" wings again and has early dinner. 

7:00pm dinner is wings with brocollini wedges, and chicken corn soup.

8:00pm shower and pack. Think I have sunstroke.

9:00pm Play Mario Jamboree

11:00pm Bedtime
