Cancun Baby!!

The kids and I just got back from Cancun with some friends. We were there for a week. It was really nice, we scheduled it while there were parent-teacher conferences, so they only had to take 3 days off of school. The weather was beautiful and the people were really nice also. We met a lot of people from around the world and made friends very quickly with a lot of them and the locals also. We took the kids to a pirate show and a dolphin show also. The pirate show was theatrical. We went out in the large ships and "battled" the green ship and won. We had a dance party after the battle. After the ship thing we took the wrong bus home and that was truley and ordeal, but we eventually got home and got up to do the same thing all over again.....beach, pool, lay out, eat and drink! The hotel also had shows each night, all of which were really good also. There was a monkey in which the kids could take a photo with, we just let them pet it and then wash their hands like crazy!!! The place we stayed at was very kid friendly. The kids had as many virgin margs and daquari's as they wanted!! =) There was a wonderful kid's water area in which there were water slides and pirate ships and castles to explore. There was also a game room with pool and ping pong and air hockey. The boys enjoyed this option for an afternoon. The best place for them was the ocean! It was so warm, like a bath. There was a significant undertoe, but I felt pretty safe in the water with them. We went to a dolphin show and the aquarium later in the week. That was pretty cool to see them perform and the kids really enjoyed it also. The sunset is from the lagoon side, which was really amazingly beautiful also. All in all we had a wonderful time together and it was nice to come home, just not to the cold weather!! Although, when we came into the front door Olivia said, "It sure is nice to be home. Let's go to bed!". I felt the same way.....nice to be home!


This is the view from our balcony. It was so nice waking up to this each morning. It was the "off" season so it was really quite. It felt like we had the place to ourselves.


This is one of my favorite photos.
