Alexander's birthday weekend extravaganza, part 2

Part 2 of Alexander's birthday weekend started Sunday morning waking up at the hotel. Alexander knew that the plan was after Uncle Gabe and Auntie Angie's birthday party, we would have his birthday party at the hotel pool. He was also looking forward to a doughnut instead of cake...Then there was the opening of presents with Grammy and Pop and Aunt Lora and Uncle Lou, who were also at the hotel.

New jacket from Grammy and cowboy boots from Pop.one pair of dressy shoes
3 more pairs, one on Ari, one on Xander, and one showing from the corner of the picture.
Then we headed down to the pool, Gabe and the boys joined us there and the swimming began.

Under the water you can see Pop coming up onto Isaiah...
and then "pop"ing up :)
Sophia is carrying Grammy around the pool.
Gabe and the boys in the deep end. Isaiah and Nehemiah are completely independent once they get there floaties on. Alexander won't put floaties on, but after a while he jumped into the ring and then joined the boys. Before that he was walking on his tip toes in the 3 foot area, he could walk around and just barely keep his mouth above the water.
The hotel had the pool room painted really cutely.

I like that last picture with all of them in front of the painting.
Apparently Kiwi was also at the hotel with everyone?!
