Pool or da Beach?

we started the day going down the lazy river on a tire tube. i walked along to steer the tube away from waterfalls. there are several pools along with splash zone play area and waterslides. ariana wanted to hit the beach afterwards, bypassing all the other pools. she loved waiting for a swell to build up and carry her towards the shore. who would've ever thought ariana would love the beach vs the pool?? guess swimming lessons paid off and more. we were suppose to get out to have a snack and she kept saying 5 more minutes trying something new to do. ariana loved to sit and wait for the wave to come crashing in and roll tip her over. ended up with sand in her hair - where we stayed in longer to wash it off .ariana is wearing a dvf bikini from gap. everyday they give out a different color wristband for guests. ariana was so happy to come on a "pink" day. visitors are allowed on the grounds and dine at the restaurants, can't go in the pools. the beach is open to the public though.
