Cancun, Mexico

We're BACK! We spent some time in Cancun, Mexico as part of our bi-annual Christmas trip with Brian's parents and Sister's family. It was beutiful there. We had good weather most the trip. If it rained, it would only rain for about 10 minutes and then the sun would come back out. It was a bit windy, but it was 85 degrees and sunny, so who cares about the wind, right? It was all inclusive, so we stayed here most of the time. It was an amazing time! This was our hotel...

We were able to do some fun excursions. Here are some pictures of our once in a lifetime chance to swim with dolphins. It was amazing! We spent about an hour with them. We got to pet them, feel their tongue, make them do tricks for us, and learn some interesting facts about them. We were right there in the water with them, as you can see.

We also did some parasailing. It was amazingly quiet up in the air, but it was a bit windy and with 400 feet of rope, it make me a bit nervous. Brian was able to go up with the kids and then they came down and I was able to go up with the kids. Andrew and Olivia LOVED it! They dipped the kids and I in the water, as you can see in the one picture. It was a blast!

We spent a day at a waterpark and that was a lot of fun. It was a good time just to be "us". The kids loved the waterslides and the wave pool!

The ocean was my favorite part. I loved the sound of the waves crashing in. The sand between your toes and the wonder of the water. I would never tire of watching and listening to the ocean.

We had a great time! It was hard coming back to the extra bitterly cold weather we are experiencing right now, but thankful for the time we had to rejuvienate and spend some good, quality family time.
