Mexico!!!!

We got back Saturday from a week long trip in Playa del Carmen, Mexico. We had SO much fun! Lydia stayed here with grandparents so that we could have a "big kid" trip with the boys. We were able to do some things that we couldn't have done with her there. We went to Xel Ha one day and swam with dolphins on another. That has been my dream ever since I was little and watched Flipper :)!! It was GREAT! The only pics that I have of that are printed. I may try to scan those and post about it. Xel Ha was also very cool. If you are in that area I recommend doing both. We stayed at an Iberostar resort called Paraiso del Mar. We LOVED it. The grounds were beautiful and very clean. I would highly recommend checking out Iberostar resorts. We have heard great things about them. Get ready for some pictures..... :) The boys seem very happy considering....
this is 4:52 A.M.!!

This is Harrison signing his first passport. I wish you could see his picture. Even people in customs look at it and smile. It looks like those celebrity mug shots!!

Here are the boys getting ready to board the plane. They've both flown but Harrison hasn't since he was really little. They did great. We had a pretty bumpy flight and they never even glanced up from their books.

This is us at the Cancun airport.

This is the trolly that we sometimes rode from our room to the front of the complex. Our room was right on the ocean and next to one of the buffet restaurant so it was very convenient.

The boys loved being able to have "free" fruit punch, cokes, and ice cream ANYTIME they wanted.

This was my view. I love the ocean!!

We had a rainshower in the pool.

We would take our games to the lobby or game room. You can't go to the beach and not get a tatoo. Haha!!
Can you see the sunscreen all over Zane's face? He may never get it all out of his ears :).

Here are the boys getting ready to swim with the dolphins!

The walkways in a lot of areas were really shady. We would see these strange animals running around. They seemed so odd at first but then you realize that they're pretty tame and people would feed them bread.
The pool games were Zane's FAVORITE! They were on opposite teams on this one.
This is the only decent picture that I got in the airport. I heard, "Mama" in a little voice. She had a very serious look on her face and ran as fast as she could to us. It was precious!!

LOL about the passport. You HAVE to scan the picture and show us! It looks like a fun trip. Next time we are hiding in your bags. Glad you had fun!
