La Pinada, Salou, Spain 2018 Day 14 - The END

As with every holiday the start seems to go so slowly and everyone is having a great time, but then that second week seems to just fly past and before you know it you are packing the cases and getting ready to head home. We made the best of our very last day by spending most of it at the water park and watching the dolphin show again. We didn't have a particularly late night as we had to get up pretty early (about 6am) to get ourselves ready for the airport run.

 

The holiday has been absolutely fantastic and we have made some great memories for the kids to look back on and treasure. Hopefully just a few of these memories are captured in this blog as I am sure Holly will remember little about this holiday just as the boys couldn't from when we last came here 7 years ago. Who knows maybe we will be back in another 7 years when Holly is the age of Josh and Brandon. What I do know is that I need a holiday now to recover from chasing around after 3 kids for 2 weeks. Still it has been really nice to have no cooking, cleaning, housework, washing up etc.etc. for 2 weeks.

 

Joshua enjoying the bowl on our last day in Salou.

Me and H getting one last chuckle on the black hole.

Selfie of me and H about to watch our last dolphin show of the holiday.

We sat down the front this time for a different view and to get at the front of the queue for a picture with the sea lions.

One of the big sea lions soaking up the sun.

Some smaller ones playing in the pool.

Our souvenir picture from Aquapolis with the sea lion. If you look back on the blog 7 years ago you will see the same picture but with just me and the boys. How times have changed.

 

That moment big brave Josh tippy toes across some ouchy stones!!!!

Holly has enjoyed herself, but all good things come to an end.

I think she would like me to build her one of these in the back garden.

Holly making the most of all the slides on our last day.

That little smile is worth every penny this holiday has cost me.

This became Holly's imaginary kitchen where she was making me various drinks and food.

Brandon in the Maui Paradise.

Now that's a Jacuzzi.

Amazingly we spent hardly anytime in this area of the water park yet it is so beautiful.

Brandon now looking pretty tanned and as if he comes from Maui.

B wanted one more picture with the sharking eating his head.

Bye bye Estival Park. It has been good.

The final meal, Joshua couldn't stop eating just for one quick picture.

Cheers everyone.

It has been a full on and very tiring 2 weeks. We all need a good sleep and a relaxing holiday to recover now. But for now Holly cuddles up with Woody and Estivee for some shut eye.
