Nassau, Bahamas

Since this is my first ever blog, I can't quite figure out how to arrange the pictures, so they're not in chronological order. Oh well...





What a way to start a Bahamian vacation! ha...that's a big drink and those are some crazy eyes! Tristan posing with the "Nemo" fish.
Feeding douhnuts to the fish. Mackenzie threw a whole doughnut in there, and it didn't get eaten. I don't think they quite knew what to do with it.
Eating ice cream. Eat every bit cause that ice cream was EXPENSIVE! (Just like everything else in this place. How 'bout $14 for a kid's bowl of pasta?!!) Makes me appreciate the states a lot more!
Mackenzie re-inacting hitting her head on this "arm" (or whatever you call it)...She was walking along and BOOM - about knocked herself out! (I'm sure people were laughing...I probably would've been if she hadn't been crying so hard!)

The kids drinking their malts at "Johnny Rockets"...a really good hamburger place!



Here are the kids by the staircase in the lobby of the Royal Towers Atlantis. This place is incredible.




Mackenzie, Tristan and Livingston, the lifeguard at Comfort Suites. He was a very outgoing, wonderful Christian man that we really enjoyed getting to know.
This is "ACTION"...he was the fire dancer on the dinner cruise we went on. He was quite entertaining!




He could do this weird balance thing, so I wanted to get a picture of it!



The weird balance thing again with Mackenzie grabbing hold of his dredlocks. He kind of looks like a statue! Brent isn't real thrilled about posing for this picture, but Tristan wanted to!



Me pretending to play the slot machines. I wouldn't have a clue how to work these! I'm too tight with my money. This is the King and Queen of Atlantis...yeah, we look like royalty don't we in our flip flops and caps? The prince and princess of Atlantis.
Mackenzie standing in front of one of the many windows of the amazing aquarium. There was a HUGE manta ray swimming around in there.
Mackenzie pointing to a sea horse. She thought you could actually ride them until she saw one in real life.
"Action"....Look at all that bling!


I took this picture of us at our hotel when we got to the Bahamas.



Mackenzie took this picture of me when we went to "The Poop Deck" for dinner.


Tristan was loving all the sharks! If you can see the tube in the water behind the sharks, that is where the "Leap of Faith" slide comes through.


Just a real pretty picture of part of the Atlantis property. See the sting rays in the water?
This is "Marina Village" where there are lots of shops, restaurants, etc. On the opposite side of the walkway (to the left in the picture) are a whole lot of yachts. There was even one with a helicopter on the back!



This was at the "Dolphin Encounter". We got to play with a dolphin named Goombay. He was so cute and made farting sounds with his blowhole!!



Dolphins have between 70 to 100 teeth. They weren't real sharp.



This is Goombay....awwwww!!



This is on the beach near the Atlantis.


Looking out over the lagoon at the Atlantis.


Kayaking in the lagoon with Mackenzie who was afraid to go in the "dark" water. It's kind of hard to kayak in two feet of water!!


This is my favorite picture of the kids.


Overlooking a restaurant in the Royal Towers, where the aquarium begins.



Outside the Royal Towers Atlantis
