ohowowowo MEXICO!!!

WE had such great time in Mexico!!!  it was so great just to laugh our heads off with friends,  sit at the beach, buy fake silver (that you are promised is real), bargain down prices (and still pay too much), people watch from all over the world.  read a book without any interruptions,  EAT EAT EAT,  go to the city, and get called a movie star.  EAT some more, get asked if your on your honeymoon, then try to make sure they know you have 3 kids so they will be sure and compliment on how young you look.  Pretend you are going to stay up all night but fall asleep at 9:30. getting a chance to miss the kids and realize how cute they are. order almost everything of the room service menu and then just eat 1 bite of everything. Play a game of "love points"  too see who will be the nicest to their spouse and earn the most points.  go snorkeling only to have someone throw food on you so you are swarmed by over 100 fish with our husbands laugh their heads off while were having a panic attack.  boogie board, collect awesome, huge seashells. Go have a mid-morning snack, followed by Lunch, followed by guacamole and chip, followed by almost everything on the dessert table,  and then top it off with some dinner.(did I mention all food was free)  Watching a terrible lip sink of the WHOLE PLAY of Grease but being so entertained by how funny it is and laughing so hard you can't breath.  a few more trips to the city, a little more laying out on the beach, and that was are awesome vacation in a nutshell.  it was so much fun!!!  This could get addicting.    oh and don't worry I've already put the scale far out of reach.








Above is Betsy and me with our new sun hats.  and Below are pictures of us in our rooms the view was so great. 





getting our shopping on. 



The boys had to get their WI FY fix at least once a day. 




Above is some of our new Bling bling that we were promised was 100% real silver We got a great deal because we were so beautiful,  funny, I saw an70 year woman get our same deal, I think their were a lot of beautiful people there that day. 
below are some new shoes. 

One of our days we went to a place called Shell ha,  it's kind of like sea world but more interactive.  and you can actually go snorkeling there.  it was pretty awesome. 

















                                        Dinner time.



                                      Reading on the beach.  Betsy showed me how to download books onto my I-phone and I don't think I can ever go back to a regular book, it was so easy to hold, and helped me achieve the up-most in laziness, I don't want to have to burn calories by holding up a heavy book!!
                                      Ryan  canoeing one day.




Ryan and Gentry were wearing these under their swimsuits (to help the chafing)  but we noticed they fit in with all the Europeans and their spedos so we made them go get a picture in them.  and FYE they were much more clothed than most the Europeans.  
                                           drinking coconut milk (not very good, but a cute picture prop)
                                               in the city
                     Ryan was so happy, he finally found a Mountian Dew,  most days he settled for sprite.
This is one of our waiters.  one night Betsy and I were in a giggly mood and were just laughing about whatever, so when our waiter came up Gentry told him we were laughing because we had a crush on him, and we thought he looked like Enrique Igelas.  so after that anytime he came to refill our drink he had a big goofy grin on his face.  it made us laugh even more.  so on the last night we told him we need to get a picture with Enrique. 

                                     mid morning snack....
 one day it was a little cooler so Ryan was walking around with this towel/shawl all day.
                                  there he is napping with it. 




                                        one day the tide was really strong and it brought in all of these awesome seashells, they were so amazing, it was so fun digging them up.  this is one of the times I wished we had the kids, they would have loved it!!!




                                           our last night, sniff sniff. 
Well Mexico, thanks for the break, we sure loved you!!!!
