Riviera Maya Mexico 2011

Kyle and I were able to take a much needed trip to Riviera Maya near Cancun Mexico. A lot of these pictures were on facebook so you have probably seen them already but I use this blog as my scrapbook. We were there for 5 days. We went to Chichen-Itza one day then swam in a Cenote(sink hole). We had awesome snorkeling at our resort and went out on kayaks. The resort was all inclusive and we ended up only spending about $25 while we were there. We even got our Chichen-Itza tickets free (they would have been $119 each) because we went to a time share presentation. Thanks to my Mom, Mother-in-Law, and Sister who took such good care of the kids while we were gone! (The pics are all out of order but oh well)

Formal night.
Livin it up with a plate FULL of dessert!
The kiddie area really made us miss the kids. I got kicked off after playing on it for a bit.
Mini golf at the resort.





The Cenote where we swam.

While we were at Chichen-Itza it started to downpour so we stripped down to our swimsuits.

There were tons of huge pools at the resort.
I got to hold a baby lion cub.

It was so fun and relaxing and I can't wait to go on another vacation!

I just unloaded my camera and have lots of pictures to post. This is what we have been up to in July. Starting on the 4th of July...

Twiners Ezra and his cousin Mac showed up to the parade wearing the same shirt...how embarrassing:)

My cute little American Flag...All the excitement was just too much for her...she was zonked!
Ezra didn't quite get the concept of the spray bottle...he thought it was funnier to spray HIMSELF!
Just had to throw this in...I found Ez laying under the playmat with Jovi...he is so sweet to her and loves to be next to her.
Hike up Bell Canyon with our friends the Dewaals (Sorry your eyes are closed Nick, it was the only picture I had!)
My sweet girl!
We went to Lagoon and Ezra had a love/hate relationship with the rides...he was fine talking about and standing in line for the rides but when it came time to buckle him he was livid! This picture is classic! Look at the terror in his face! Of coarse we made him go!
Flying Aces...he got better and better as the day went on.
Swings
Ferris wheel! (I know, not the best picture but one of the only ones of all of us)
Ezra and his buddy Ryker enjoying their suckers at the parade preview where we got to see the floats before the parade.
Hanging out by the pool with grandma Toni and cousins.
First time in her jumper.
Feeding the ducks with his little friend Madison.
Fell asleep by the pool at her cousins birthday party.

There goes July...now to August!
