Zip Line And Cave Swimming!












Our last day in Cancun we went on an excursion where they took us deep into the jungle to do a little bike ride to a zip line and then to a cenote, sink hole or what I say, a cave to go swimming in. It was a lot of fun. We went up there and I was most nervous about the zip line. We rode these bikes up to this tall hut looking thing where we had to climb these stairs. The stairs did not look one bit safe to climb up. They were wood and like falling apart and there was like this other family climbing up to the platform with us and I seriously did not think it was going to hold all of us. Amazingly it did. So there were 2 stops on the zip line and it went high over the jungle. It was so much fun and was not scary at all. We were able to do it 2 times. When we were done with the zip line we went into the fresh water cenote and that was the scary part to me. They had lights in it but it was still dark and just creepy. They said there were no animals in it but we found a turtle. It was pretty cold but it was refreshing but I was excited to get out of the cave. Anyways, the Cancun trip was Amazing and I cannot wait to go back in the near future!

Mexico Take 2!


















The Hotel was Great. We took The morning bike rides and did some Kayaking. On the morning bike ride they made stops along the way and showed us the animals they had living around the property. When we went kayaking we did a double one and yes, Rob will tell you he did most of the work. It was fun though. We lounged a lot at the pool they had great hammocks to swing on. my favorite part about lounging at the pool was the cute cups they would bring out drinks in. The little bar tender people new me by the end because I was the only on the property who would order 2 pina colodas with banana, no alcohol. He would always turn to me and say, "So a smoothie ?" I would say, "exactly you should put them on the menu". Then the hotel had these night shows and they were fun they tried to do like cirque acts and dance acts and it was interesting. I got pulled out of the audience on the dance night. Now I have danced with some soggy guys but this was the first with ruffles.

More Isla Mujeres Pics














Cancun Baby ! Part 1











So yes finally I will I am getting to my post of our vaca to Cancun which was absolutely well needed and worth it and fabulous! We were there for six days. The kidos stayed the first few days with Nana and Tots and then the last few with Grammie and their cousin Jessica. Thank you guys for all your help. Well we stayed at the Excellence Playa Mujeres which was beautiful. It was right on the ocean. We had a swim out suite and so our room went right out into the pool. But it was right on the beach. The first day we were there we went across to Isla Mujeres on a ferry and rented a golf cart and just cruised around to the different beaches and did some shopping. The water there was amazing. When we were taking the ferry across we could see the bottom of the ocean the whole time, it was so clear. The beaches where just white sand so so pretty. It was fun putting around on the golf cart however I am glad I had Rob to drive because anything goes when you are driving in Mexico and I would have killed us. Then the next day we lounged around at the hotel and swam planned out the rest of our days.
