2008 trip to CANCUN

We just got back from Cancun on Saturday. We went with Jason's cousin Aaron and his wife Stacey. We were there 7 days. We had a great time together. Here are a bunch of pictures of our trip. Also under our links click on "Aaron and Stacey" to see more pictures of our trip. I didn't post some pictures because they have them on their blog. ***This picture is us at Tulum.

On a boat ready to go out to go snorkling. It was a lot of fun until Aaron got stung by a jelly fish.

Here is our taxi driver. Jason did a great job. The driving in Mexico was crazy. I guess Jason got good training dealing with crazy drivers when he was in Jamaica on his mission.

These two could play in the sand or in the ocean all day.
They even went and bought boogie boards to ride the waves.
This was my favorite area of the pool.
We spent a lot of time on this side of the pool.

So we did a lot of eating out. This is our first night out in Cancun.

Here is a picture when of Aaron and Staceys favorite meal in Tulum at a toco shop.

This was Jason and mines favorite meal at Chocolate City. This was just dessert. Jason and I even went the next day for lunch.

This is us in front of Chocolate City.

The next few pictures are of our hotel. We stayed right on the hotel strip at the Grand Melia. I know this picture is hard to see, but this is of Stacey and I. We would hang out by they pool while Jason and Aaron played in the ocean.

The pool was the length of our hotel...which is really long. The only problem was the whole pool is 5 feet deep. I am only 5'3''. So I would have to either be on my tippie toes the whole time I was in the pool or hang on to the side orI would have to swim to get around.

This is Jason and Aaron at the bar in the pool waiting for their drinks.

This is a picture right out from our room looking down. This is what the whole inside of our hotel looked like...very green.

The day before we left for Cancun Haley got the flu. It sucks leaving your child when she is so sick. Haley is quite the trooper. She always seems to get sick right be fore we leave on trips. Thanks to all those who helped with her. When the trip was over Brandon and Stephanie brought Haley to the airport. She was so cute. She was so excited to see us. When I got close to her to give her a hug she broke down in tears. She cried for a good 2 min. or so. Her emotions got the best of her. I will never forget that moment. I missed her a ton! Trips are fun but it's nice to be home!

Aaron and Stacey Thanks for the fun time!!!

Haley's getting.....

A LITTLE SISTER!!! THAT'S RIGHT WE ARE HAVING ANOTHER GIRL!!

Thanksgiving Point Farm

Yesterday my friend Kristin and I took her two boys and Haley to the farm at Thanksgiving Point. We had a lot of fun. We have never been because I am allergic to all these animals but I thought we should give it a try anyway. Haley was really concerned about me. She kept saying, "Mom don't get to close, you are allergic and I don't want you to start sneezing." So I kept my distance, but after about 40 min the sneezing started. Luckily we were ready to go anyway.
Here is Haley feeding the animal corn. She wasn't scared of the animals at all.
She even got to go on her first pony ride!!
Here is a picture of the Jake, Mason and Haley eating their free ice cream. Haley of course chose buble gum.

After the farm we decided to go eat at the deli. After we ordered and were waiting for our food the fire alarm went off. Come to find out the grill caught on fire. A lady came up to us and told us the kids meal orders would have to be changed because they couldn't use the grill to cook their meals. So they got chips and sandwiches instead of grill cheese and fries. They were sorry for the inconvenience and said we could order anything we wanted at the ice cream parlor and it was on them. So....
Kristin and I went all out of Sundays. We had a lot of fun. We missed you Jamie. Hope you are feeling better!!!

Trafalga

So last Friday night Aaron, Stacey, Brandon, Stephanie, Jason and I decided to take the kids to Trafalga to play mini golf and ride the slick track. I haven't been there forever. Haley and Dahl had a great time. It wasn't very busy so we pretty much had the mini golf to ourselves, so the kids could go play on there own while the adults had a game of there own. I didn't get any pictures of us playing golf but here are a few pic. of the slick track.

Aaron, Stacey, Dahl and Ty are moving next week. We are going to miss you guys like crazy!!!
