Day 19: By the pool

Today we spent time just swimming or playing pool.  The pool area here has within it a basketball area with 5 backboards, mini golf, and a pool table - as well as the three waterslides and water play area.  The boys played pool while Lucy, Grant and I swam.  The water must be about 33 deg I reckon BUT the water on the slides has just come out of the ice cube tray brrrrrr!  Lucy had Grant and I on each of the three slides, one is pretty fast and I ended up landing into the water chute sideways and upside down, much to Lucy's delight.
The big drama at the pool today was an incident where a dad slipped over and hit his head, wiping out all of his memories of the previous few days (Lucy gathered that info after eavesdropping on the lifeguards).  You should have seen how many people were in attendance after this happened!  A total of 8 resort staff followed by SEVEN emergency services people fussed and wrote notes.  He went off in the ambulance and we haven't gathered any new info since, I will have to get Lucy onto it.
Mid afternoon we hit the Premium Outlet Orlando shopping centre. The main purpose of  this shopping trip  was to buy another piece of luggage to come home with and we managed to find one straight away.  Even I enjoy the shopping in the US, the vast majority of clothes and shoes are very inexpensive.  Headed into the Vans shop where Tom grabbed a pair for $40 (they are usually $45 full price compared to $90-100 at home).  Zac made a purchase of a pair of very luminous soccer boots, they just about hurt your eyes to look at them.  Tom bought some shorts and Grant bought some clothes.  Lucy and I didn't buy anything!  Lucy because she has just about spent all of her money and me because I have seen ONE Esprit shop since we arrived in the USA!!!!!!!
Had dinner in the food court and now back at the resort.  The kids are in the pool before we have an earlyish night tonight before heading to Animal Kingdom tomorrow.
Have put only two new photos on today (I know you will all be disappointed).  We have now taken 1734 photos, I bet you're glad now that all of those haven't been uploaded!
