Puerto Adventuras - Part 3

Trying to catch up with blogging, I'm a bit behind, but they will slowly come out.
Today is Kyle's birthday so I will have to make a post on that as well.
This is the last post on our trip(which seems like it was a while ago now).
This is a collection of pictures that didn't fit in the previous posts.


This is in Seattle on our way to Mexico on Monday morning. We drove to Seattle on Sunday evening, went out to dinner at the California Pizza Kitchen. The food was really good and on our way out Kyle thought the fire alarm looked like something interesting to pull. Luckily Shelby grabbed Kyle just before it was pulled. Nothing like leaving a mark on your visit.

At the airport Kyle already spilled something on his pants so he ended up in shorts, ready for Mexico!

In Mexico the sunrise was at 6am, which means it starts to get light at 5:30am. 5:30 was the time we all got up each morning. Oddly enough we kinds of got used to it.

Ray had heard that the best shells were found at sunrise, so he was up out at the beach on a few mornings looking for the perfect shell for his girls.

We did go to the beach as well a few times. Ray was the official sand castle builder with some help from the kids.

This is a 10 second time lapse of the sand castle building in action.

Kyle did not appreciate sand in his mouth.

On the beach there were some tidal pools the kids could look at various sea life.

In Puerto Adventuras, they have a dolphin encounter where you can get up close and personal with a dolphin. Here is Ray being pushed by 2 dolphin's noses. You can't see them in the water but tyey are there. Ginny, Madi and Lexi also were able to pet and kiss the dophins, we opted to watch from the sidelines and save a few pesos.

Shelby bought this fabric in Madagascar years ago and never did anything with it. She gave it to Ginny, who gave it to her mother and made a dress each for Madi and Lexi. They wore them out for Aaron's birthday. I am not sure why Madi is holding a toy tiger in her hand though.

After we went to Tulum we were walking through a shopping area. We noticed the various coloured walls. So Aaron and I went on a mission to get a picture of him on all the different coloured walls we could find.

Back at the condo we were supposed to have 2 beds upstairs, one for the kids and one for us, turns out their was only one king size bed upstairs and guess who got the bed? Not us, can you say futon and a couch? They weren't too bad, but I would have preferred the king size bed.
Here is Aaron and Kyle playing on their bed.

We had another great time with our friends and here we are on our last night together.

Our last sunset...

At the Cancun airport Kyle continued his love of kissing animals.

We did have a good time down in Mexico, but found the Mayan Riviera to be quite expensive. It was definitely more pricey than when we were married in 1999. Still definitely worth it to get out of the colder weather for a while.

I am still waiting for spring to arrive...

PS Happy Birthday Kyle!
