The chapter describes the Calypso family's vacation activities, which included enjoying the beach, pool, and other attractions. Some family members had fun in the sun, while others encountered minor injuries or mishaps. Their vacation provided a temporary break from their regular lives before returning home, with the bubbles from the pool oddly following one family member.

3. “Wow, look at all the green stuff! What is it?”
“I’m not sure, but I think its grass and plants.”
“I like them.”

4. I have no notes from this vacation. So I’m not sure what happens.
I do know that nothing life changing happened.
“I’d like to rent two rooms please.”
“Very good Madam, I’ll have your bags carried for you.”
“Thank you”

5. “This sand is so different from the sand we have at home. It seems more alive.”

6. “I love this place; I wish we could stay here forever.”

7. Some were enjoying some well earned rest and relaxation.

8. “It’s so big; does it end, or just go on forever?”
I love this picture.

9. “Aaaaah, too scary, I think I rather use the ladder.”

10. “This is fun; I wish we could have a pool at home.”

11. I see you aren’t too scared to use the diving board.
“You only live once.”

12. “I found a shell.”

13. Matthew, what are you doing?
“I’m going to see if there’s any hidden treasure.”
Be careful, I heard this ship is haunted.

14. “Mommy, This place is the best, can we come here again?”
“I don’t know, Mattie. There’s a lot to be done at home.”

15. “Aaaaah, this is bliss.”

16. “I wish that when we get home, my baby and I make some more cheesy babies.”

17. Not all of their trips turned out well.

18. “This vacation was the best idea ever.”

19. Matthew looks sad at being left out. Whose stupid idea was it to make it
so only four Sims could sit around the campfire?

20. “I’m sorry you couldn’t sit with us, Mattie.”
“It’s Ok, Mommy. It wasn’t your fault.”
“I think the marshmallows are done.”
“Yum.”

21. “Weeeee, this is fun.”

22. “Oh, Wow, This Is Fun!”

23. “Are you sure we’re in the right place? This seems pretty far off the path.”
“This is where the map leads.”

24. “Me’um stuff broke, You’um fix. Me’um give you gift.”
“Well, OK.”

25. “Arrg, I’m not a TV repair man.”

26. “Die, You stupid TV.”

27. “You’um fix stuff. Here you’um gift.”
“Thank you.”

28. Aaawww, Isn’t he cute?

29. “Ow ow ow, Mommy, A crap pinched me.”
“Ow ow ow, Not now Mattie.”

30. “Get off, Get off, Owwwwww.”

31. “Avast ye hearties, I’ll slit your throats, and make you walk the plank.”

32. “Raise the Jolly Roger. Arrg Matey.”

33. “Hurry up Mommy, We have to board them and steal their treasure.”

34. “Ouch, why am I the only one to get burnt?”
“Are you ok, Delly?”

35. “Aaaaah, it really is haunted.”

36. “Arrr, Ye mateys, Boooooo”

37. “Wow, I can see forever from up here.”

38. There are so many beautiful pictures but I have nothing to say.

39. Matthew finally wore himself out. Be careful not to get burnt like your Grandpa.

40. “Look, I got a tan.”
I can’t see, it’s too dark.

41. I don’t know why they came back here, maybe because of the radio?

42. Or it could be because of the pond.

43. “I caught a fish!”

44. Everyone is playing Marco Polo. I think Jessi is cheating.

45. “Cannonball!”

46. “I got you, Dad.”

47. “Cannonball!”

48. Well, this is weird. After jumping into the pool she popped out and all these bubbles followed her.

49. Well, our vacation is over. I hope the bubbles go away soon.

50. It is kind of funny though.

51. Well that’s it for this chapter. I will see you in Chapter 18.
