Mr. & Mrs. Vandebilt + kids

We spent all of Wednesday traveling from York to Fuerteventura – between an Uber, a 4 hour flight and a 3 hour bus transfer we were pretty tired by the time we made it to our resort. We got ourselves fed and into bed to get ready for our first day of sunshine.

It always takes a day or two to get your bearings at one of these types of resorts. You need time to figure out where everything is, what time everything opens, and what the best cocktail is. First up on the list of things to sort was the waterpark. It’s half term in England right now so this place is overrun with children. This is very clearly a family centred resort as most of the activities seem to cater to young families.

The kids had a great morning, even if it was as a bit chilly. They all got their fill of the water park and made friends with Adam’s cousin Kirsty’s kids. It clouded over in the afternoon and became even cooler so we headed to the park for the afternoon. Everyone was still quite testy after the travel day so my attempt to sit poolside playing cards ended in dramatic fashion and we packed up and headed home for the day.

Thankfully before we headed home we found out about the free kids club. It runs every day from 10-1230 and 3-5 and they have different activities on each day. Our kids are built for a kids club. They love meeting new people, they love structured activities and they love enthusiastic adults, this club hit all three. The first day the activity for both the morning and afternoon session was creating and rehearsing a kids talent show. Nora could not have been more excited. Although, I was a close second.

After a full day of honing their crafts we got the girls hair show ready and headed for dinner. The kids show did not start until 9:30 but everyone needed to be there for 9:00 for costumes and makeup. These people are not fooling around. The kids all did a fabulous job – Charlie performed a magic trick as Olympus, the girls did a dance and gymnastics routine and everyone was pleased with their performance.
