Mexico

Last week we were in Cabo! My dad took all of us there for a week, and it was a blast! We stayed in a beautiful hotel, and spent the week relaxing (as much as you can with two kids) and playing at the beach and in the pool. The kids didn't swim in the ocean because the waves in front of our hotel were too big, just ask Jax and Papa Kirk, they got taken down by one the first night. Needless to say, Jax wasn't very happy about it! The kids loved to watch the big waves and let them come up and get their feet wet. Their favorite thing was swimming in the pool. The were like little fish. We went parasailing one day, Jax and Gabe even did it and loved it! Another day we rented a catamaran (probably not spelled right) and went snorkeling. The kids weren't very into the snorkeling, but they loved the boat. I was hoping to see some dolphins while we were on the boat, but, no such luck. We did get to see some Manta Ray's jumping out of the water, I didn't get a good picture of them, but it was really cool to see. On the boat ride back, we saw seals "sunning themselves" on a rock. We also got to watch Nick "eat it" as he put it, when a wave took him down where we were snorkeling...actually, i think it was more than one wave, either that, or he is a bigger clutz than we thought. But, it was pretty funny to see Nick's long legs, with flippers on, fly up in the air when the wave came, and then see Jax take off as fast as he could up the beach to get away from the wave. Nick didn't think it was very funny at the time, but, trust me, it was!
Jax and Gabe loved jumping into the pool over and over again, and miss Ella figured out how to keep herself upright in the water with her lifejacket on, which she was pretty proud of. The kids loved waking up in the hotel room and going down to the breakfast buffet where they could eat as many pancakes, waffles, and french toast as they could. Then at lunch, they loved getting ice cream cones. Nick was pretty excited about the ice cream cones too! I however, refrained from the ice cream cones....instead, I piled my plate with every other dessert they had at the lunch buffet...and at dinner too, because who wants to come home with their clothes still fitting them??? Apparently not me! We had such a great vacation, and although it's nice to be home, I wanna go back!!
