Adios Cancun!

Cancun was tons of fun.  It was nice to get a break from real life and relax and play with our friends for a week.  We miss it already.  

Here are a few more pictures we took by the beach.  Jenny-- I know you are not going to love me for posting these... but you are just too beautiful not to :)

Cancun Day 7


On Friday, we went to swim with the dolphins.  It was very cool.

After the dolphins, we went to Wet 'N Wild for a bit.  The slide in this picture is my favorite.

This is our other favorite slide.  We call it the toilet bowl slide.  Fun stuff.

When we got sick of that, we went back to our hotel and chilled on the beach for the rest of the day.

Gotta love this one.  Cheeseball.

This is the view from our hotel along the beach.

We didn't end up having enough time to do this, but I loved watching them fly over the ocean.

Lounging under the umbrellas

Mike slept pretty much all day on his lounge chair.

Mike-- still asleep

After the beach, we cleaned up, took some couple's pictures and went to dinner to celebrate Jenny's birthday.  Happy 31st!

Cancun Day 6



On Thursday, we went to a theme park called Xcaret.  Mike and I have been there before and we wanted to take Levi and Jenny there.  There are tons of things to do at Xcaret.

We went snorkeling and swimming in the underground river.  I think that is our favorite part of the park.

This is a picture of a part of the river that isn't underground.  It looks really packed but it wasn't later in the day.

Mike and Levi being idiots

Love this picture by Levi

We went snorkeling in the bay by the ocean.

Then we relaxed in the hammocks.


I love this part of the park, too.

This is the beautiful view of the ocean from the hammocks.

There are lots of animals at Xcaret.  This guy was hanging out on the wall outside of the jaguar pen.

Levi & Jenny on the ruins

The Jesus tree.  Kind of wierd, but cool.

These creepy guys were ready to greet us as we walked into the show at night.

These are the Papantla Fliers.  They're nuts.  No nets and no safety harnesses.  These guys were a small part of the show at night.

Cancun Day 5


On Wednesday, we went to the zip line.  It was fun.  Not really very exciting, but fun.

Doesn't Monica look cute?

Jenny & Ang

Tom or Levi.  I can't tell but I think it's Levi

After the zip line we went back to the hotel so the Marchant's could pack up and get ready for their flight home.  In the meantime, we laid around and ate more junk.

After the Marchant's left for the airport, it started raining, and we went into town to go shopping.  It was the perfect day for rain and the only day of the trip that it was stormy.

The market we went to downtown was huge and had tons of stores.  Mike and I had been there before on our honeymoon.  We bought a swim cover for Hallie, an Indiana Jones hat for Bryant, and we bought super hero capes for all of the kids.  I bought a pair of earrings for me and Steph (for watching my kids) and some Mexican vanilla for Becky and my mom.

After our shopping trip, we took the bus back to the hotel, ate some dinner and went to bed.
