Holy Guacamole!!

This year for Thanksgiving, my parents graciously flew down our entire family down (all 22 of us) to Cancun Mexico for a 5 day vacation.  It was an awesome trip and the pictures don't do it justice!
The first day was spent at the beach and at the pool.
Noah is definitely a beach boy.  He could play there all day and be happy. 
 Both boys loved the open bar and the all you can drink virgin pina coladas


On Day 2, we had the chance to go visit a couple of the awesome ruins they have down there.
First we went to Tulum...




 Then on to Coba.  The best part about Coba was that they give you bikes to ride to get to the ruins.  I'm sure we were quite the sight . . . 22 people ranging in age from 4 to 70 riding bikes in the jungle.  It was the highlight of the trip in my mind.

 After the ruins, we got to go swimming in a cenote - basically a sinkhole with water.  There were jumping platforms built inside and the kids just went for it.  I think Noah jumped over 10 times.

Day 3 was a catamaran sail and snorkeling.  Noah loved snorkeling.  Caleb, not so much.  




 And to Noah's liking, we got back from the sailing in time to hit the beach for another while!




On Day 4, we loaded up in vans and went to an adventure park to go zip lining!


Just like snorkeling, Noah LOVED it and totally embraced the experience! 
 And Caleb, not so much.  I think he's just glad he survived.
 This was Caleb's happy place - the evening shows and pina coladas!
We were sad that it was our last night together though . . . my boys LOVE being with all their cousins.





Noah wanted to get in a little more swimming before we left for the airport.
 One last "fun" drink before we left the resort.

 Definitely a great way to spend Thanksgiving!!
