We just returned from our wild trip to Mexico. Jason and I took Mckay and Mckinley and went with my sister Michelle's family and my mom to Playa Del Carmen. Our trip started with a little bad luck. It all started with our passports. After many long phone calls we finally received them a couple days before we were to leave. My mom never got hers and had to schedule a quick flight to Aurora, CO to get hers the same day. On our way to Denver it snowed. Crossing through the Rocky Mountains in a snow storm is not fun. At Vail we had winter white out conditions which made for a scary trip. We finally arrived at Kyle and Aly's and I thought our troubles were over. We got on the plane at 7:00AM and sat on the runway for two hours when they decided that our plane had a generator problem. We didn't leave for Cancun until 4:30PM. Instead of Lying in beach chairs soaking up the sun we slept on the hard floor of the Denver airport. After 7 hours, I think we explored every corner of the airport.
After a rough start we did make it to Cancun and had a wonderful time. The kids enjoyed the beach and the pool. We went on a ATV excursion and rode 12 zip lines. We even zip lined into a Cenote ( A fresh water like pond that connects underground to the ocean) which dropped off about 20 feet. We mountain biked in the jungle and ran the streets of Playa Del Carmen. We snorkeled an under ground river that connects to the ocean and body surfed the waves. Our hotel provided constant entertainment and the kids got to eat all the ice cream they wanted. The kids participated in a production of Grease at the nightly entertainment, they loved it. Jason visited the Mayan Ruins and thoroughly enjoyed himself. Doug even got him to jump off a few cliffs. We had such a fun time. It was fun to explore the different culture and relax. Jason did lose our camera on his Mayan ruins Trip, so the pictures are courteous of Doug.

Kell--Wow, looks like Mexico did not disappoint! How fun was that?! That's too bad about the camera getting lost, but I love the pictures that were taken by Doug. You will have to get another camera soon because there are too many blogging moments that you just can't miss--haha!! I'm glad you guys had a great time and I'm sure Beckham is so happy to have you back home!!
Kellie! I'm glad you guys had fun! Me and Nate went to Playa del Carmen on our honeymoon and had to come early cause I was deathly ill! We even went on an ATV tour too in which a spider monkey attacked a fat 12-year-old kid from Jersey. It was great. It's so pretty down there, huh!?
It looks like you had so much fun! I love the James Taylor song you put with the slideshow. Hope you get a new camera soon and can continue blogging!
Kellie-
This looks like such a fun trip. Did the kids just love it? The snorkeling sounded awesome.
