Tenerife, Spain (Canary Islands) {back post - November}

The kids had a long break over Veterans Day Weekend so we mad the most of it and went back to Tenerife (yes, our THIRD time!) One of the few places this time of year that still is nice and hot and sunny, just what we like and crave here in the UK. It's also our kids all-time favorite vacation destination. Since it was our third time, we knew what we liked and just did our favorite things. 2 days at the amazing Siam Park, a day at Loro Parque, and we did add in a new favorite...Monkey Park.

We arrived early afternoon before we could check in so we headed straight for the beach. It just so happened to be on the windier side of the island, a beach down the road from where all of the kite surfers go. We quickly found out why there were built in wind shelters all over the beach as we were getting pelted like crazy!


The next two gorgeous days were spent at Siam Park



Blake's teacher told him to be sure to watch people slide down this slide.....sometimes they might lose their swimsuits! So, naturally they had to watch. 






Loro Parque




And guess what?! Blake was chosen to be in the dolphin show!!! Of course, he said no though. Ugh! 


We decided to sit in the splash zone this time during the Orca show. Bad.idea.


Since we were on that side of the island we decided to see if we could do some stargazing way up high on Mount Teide. We hadn't realized we were on the verge of a super moon, so there was a lot of light coming from the moon. However, the sunset was beautiful.


Monkey Park


Allie lost her tooth right before we got to the park!


Yes, there were  monkeys.





We went to all of our favorite dinner spots too. The waitress at Hard Rock remembered us!! Names and everything!

Our favorite Mexican restaurant....Blake fell asleep at the table. The manager came over with another chair, picked Blake up, put the two chairs together and laid him back down and then went and got a blanket to cover him up with!

The girls were dying to go back to this Italian place to get their "zebra" pizzas!



From the hotel




Our last day, an amazing breakfast and some beach time.
