Viva la Mexico!!!

It's is back to real life this week. Zach and I got back Saturday from a week of fun and relaxation in Cancun! We had a good time and celebrated our 8th anniversary! We haven't been on a vacation by ourselves since before we had kids!!! Thanks Shabree and family for all your help with the girls so we could go!!! We don't know how to repay you. Thanks Valerie and Eddie for the timeshare!


We ate twice a senor frogs. Once in the afternoon on the terrace and then one night in the dance club. We won the couples dance contest!!! We also did the electric slide which I still remembered from high school!

The view out of our balcony at the beach of our Resort. It was kind of rainy during the week but Friday we layed on the beach and played in the waves from 10am to 5pm! We finally relaxed,tanned,read our books and body surfed!


Monday we went to Xacaret a park and snorkled in the ocean and an underwater river. We got caught in a huge rainstorm and were soaked! We still had our swim suits on so it wasn't too bad. So we just hung out at a buffet and ate for about 2 hrs until it stopped raining. There were lots of animals at the park, including a butterfly sanctuary and huge sea turtles.





Here are a few pictures of the evening show of dancers from Mexico! I thought it was "Muy Fantastico!"



We rented a car Thursday and drove around to three different Mayan Ruin sites. Chichen Itza, Coba and Tulum. We hiked alot and climbed to the top of Coba's Pyramid.







Where's Waldo can you see me?
