Spring Break 2017

This spring break we decided to go to Cancun Mexico. We actually spent our time and stayed in Playa Del Carmen but flew into Cancun. OMG, the water was breathtaking! I have never seen such beautiful water and the white soft sand was amazing! We spent 4 1/2 days there. Two of the days were spent at our resort playing on the beach and pool and eating at the bar along the ocean. One of the other days was spent shopping along the main drag. It went on and on and on. We also drove to Talum to see the ruins. We didn't stay too long there because the kids were hot and sunburned from the first day. We then hopped on a boat and took a short ride to the beach side of the ruins then on over to a snorkeling bay. While snorkeling, we saw turtles and sting rays. That was my favorite part of the trip. The kids and Ryans favorite day was when we went to Xel Ha. It was basically a water amusement park without the water slides. LOL! There were small zip lines, a lazy river ride in tubes, cliff jumps, Cenotes (underground caves to swim in), etc. We even swam with dolphins. Our friends, the Shanks joined us. It was a good time, but from now on we decided to go on these special trips with just family. I missed out on the family time by going with others. Still a great time and great memories were created! We won't miss hearing people ask for "Tips", us asking... "Donde Esta El Bano", the driving is crazy, there are a ton of "Topes" (speed bumps). We rented a 15 passenger van so we could all be together. It was a crappy van, so we called it "The Big Rolling Terd". LOL good times.

Poor Kaden got so burnt the first day. Us parents goofed!
