What Swine Flu???

So after some intense deliberation we decided to go on our planned vacation with my family to Mexico despite our imminent death being predicted by several friends and family members. BEST decision EVER!!! We had such a great time, the food wasn't as bad as I worried it would be, the condo was amazing to say the least, fun sites to see, and great company too. No one got swine flu, and the only casuality was my ipod, I'm sure it is currently making some maid very happy (I'm not bitter at all). By the end of the trip we had all pretty much gotten over the whole toilet paper in the garbage can thing (Ewww, Ewwww, and more Ewwww is all I have to say on that!). Since we had Skyler the fish and her mini "me" (Kendyll refers to herself as Me and because we think it is cute Jeremy and I call her me) we spent a LOT of time at the pool and the beach. By the time we left Skyler was learning to knee dive and had swallowed (happily) about half the pool while learning to swim anywhere and everywhere. Kendyll was finally brave enough to back "float" which means she layed back in your arms and closed her eyes. The weather was perfect, and we all came back with fantastic tans. Thanks mom and dad for being married for 30 years so we could have and excuse to go somewhere together - Thanks for a GREAT trip!!!Sky with a few new friends, yes they are real and believe it or not she did actually pose with them with NO bribing!! I can hardly believe it myself and I was there!
Her face says it all!
On the tour bus to see the ruins at Chitzen Itza and Tellum
Smilin' Pretty Baby!
The view from the ruins at Tellum
The Beach. Nothing else left to say.
She wasn't happy at all this trip!
Jeremy gettin' some rays after playing with the girls in the ocean.
Here's the afore mentioned Jeremy and the girls playing in the ocean - Love that view!!!
Swimming with the dolphins, yes that is Skyler and I standing away from everyone else, let's just say that she was soooo excited to do this . . . until she was in the water with them - right there. She did touch one of them and just about the time we were getting out she started to feel a little braver about the whole event. Oh well, building memories, right?!?
Another shot with the dolphins, you can see that one is a little too close for Sky's comfort. She has a death grip when she wants to!
Chummers and the kiddos at Xel-Ha. She and Bampa were nice enough to take the little ones for a few hours so we could enjoy the park as adults . . . although when we met back up I think Chummers and Bampa looked like they had aged 5 years in a few hours!!
Sky and Jer "snorkeling" at Xel-Ha. You would never know that 30 seconds before this pic was taken they were having a come to Jesus moment about Sky being too scared to snorkel - fun times and more memories!

This picture says it all. Exhausted. Maybe it was Jeremy and I that aged 5 years on this trip, not Chummers and Bampa! Despite some of the stress with the kids, I would do this over again in a heartbeat!
