Cancun, Part 1

My sweet parents take turns bringing each of us and our families down to Cancun to stay in their time share. We were thrilled that it was our turn this time! We truly had the most wonderful time!

They get to come home from Guatemala for the month of July so we especially appreciate them taking a week of that to do this for us (and above all, to go BACK to Central America)! I must admit that I now understand why people bring nannies or travel with grandparents on trips. It was FABULOUS to be 1 on 1 by having 4 adults and 4 kids. I really felt relaxed after this trip rather than ready for a vacation!

The beach is so beautiful there! It's been a few years since we were there last, and I'd forgotten how clear the water was.

Part 2

We had the unforgettable experience of swimming with dolphins. The girl's said this was their favorite part! We loved receiving a kiss from them,

swimming around with them,

and getting to do the "foot push" where 2 come up behind you and push you from your feet where you sail through the water! So fun!

We also enjoyed parasailing one day. It's so quiet and peaceful up there!

Since Carter was too young to do this, he very happily opted to do the bungie jumpy thing instead.

Part 3

We went to a fun natural water park one day called Xcaret where were were able to float down a beautiful underground river, see exotic animals, snorkel, and play at a beautiful beach.


When in Mexico, do as the Mexicans...



Our hotel had all kinds of activities. This day we took advantage of the kayaking once we realized sailing wouldn't work due to total lack of wind!

Thanks Mom and Dad for the fabulous vacation!
